When I tried to install 700 updates, this is what I saw:

$ sudo /usr/lib/octopi/octphelper -ts

What should I do next? I’ve tried this a second time I’ve tried this install.

Remove lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer and libcanberra-gstreamer.

This has been covered in nearly every stable update post since libcanberra-gstreamer was deprecated.

Further to what @anon59284200 said. ALWAYS check the forum post about updating the Manjaro system you are using. This is from the ‘stable’ branch.

  • You might be blocked updating when using pacman due to some libcanberra packages. Simply remove those packages: sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-libcanberra-pulse lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer libcanberra-pulse libcanberra-gstreamer. We recommend to use pamac anyway, which does this automatically: pamac update

Check it out here.

Look under “Known issues and solutions”.

Like I said ALWAYS check the forum post about updates. That will keep you out of trouble.
