[ARM Unstable Update] 2023-05-16 - Python 3.11, Gnome 44, Plasma, KDE Frameworks and more

Hi @philm,

Was NOT able to complete the system upgrade. Error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
konsole: /etc/xdg/konsolerc exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Would appreciate tips and assistance on how to resolve the Error:

> error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
> konsole: /etc/xdg/konsolerc exists in filesystem
> Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Edit: For your info, mesa-23.0.y and Firefox seems to have some conflict. Is have bad visual artifacts.

Same issue mesa-23.0.y with Firefox on Ubuntu Lunar. With mesa-23.1.0 resolved the Visual Artifacts issue on Firefox.

Edit 1: Found a solution to resolve the System Upgrade Error:

> error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
> konsole: /etc/xdg/konsolerc exists in filesystem
> Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Thanks @marcuse1w

[jfl@jfl-mnjro ~]$ cd /etc/xdg
[jfl@jfl-mnjro xdg]$ sudo mv konsolerc konsolerc-old

After move the “konsolerc” to “konsolerc-old”, “sudo pacman -Syu” proceeded to complete the System Upgrade.

Edit 2: Reboot successfully

Beelink GT King Pro - Manaro-Arm-KDE-linux-aml-6.1.29-1 Rebooted Successfully after System Update to latest Arm-Unstable-Updae-2023-05-16. But some applicatios does NOT seem to launch. Screenshot “Spectacle” does NOT launch.

[jfl@jfl-mnjro ~]$ spectacle
spectacle: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[jfl@jfl-mnjro ~]$

[jfl@jfl-mnjro ~]$ chromium --incognito
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Spectacle and Chromium would NOT launch. This could be due to the fact that I have installed “ffmpeg-m2m and mpv-hwdec”. Flameshot also does NOT work.

Suggestions and solution on how to get Chromium and Spectacle to work with “ffmpeg-m2m and mpv-hwdec” installed are most welcome.
