I’m getting dependency errors when I try to update the four lib32-gst packages on my system (lib32-gst-plugins-base, lib32-gst-plugins-base-lins, lib32-gst-plugins-good, lib32-gstreamer) from 1.28.1-1 to 1.28.1-3. It doesn’t seem to matter what order I try to update them in, they seem to want to compile and update lib32-gstreamer which fails due to dependencies on the other packages. Is there a way around this? Can I uninstall them all and try from the beginning? I’m not sure if these packages are required by the base system or not so I’m apprehensive about just uninstalling things.
Those packages are not in the repository (anymore), and my guess is that they were dropped to the AUR.
You can safely uninstall them.

Yes looking at them they’re all AUR packages. Hopefully nothing breaks when I try to delete them. I’m not even sure why they were installed in the first place.
Presumably they were repository packages before, and required for something else. However, either whatever it was required for has itself also been dropped to the AUR, or they are no longer required as dependencies and were then dropped to the AUR.
You may also want to clean out your orphans… 
sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq)

Never mind, removing the orphans then rebooting fixed it.

Remove this one first.
sudo pacman -Rns lib32-gst-plugins-base
