Hello people!
After being two stable updates behind, I’ve tried to upgrade my current version of Manjaro, but the terminal keeps telling me this:
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing nvidia-utils (460.80-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=460.73.01' required by linux59-nvidia
Digging for a bit, I’m now aware that the kernel that I’m currently using (5.9.16-1) is EOL, so I should have switched to a more recent one. Problem is, I cannot install a new one because it tells me to update the system first:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510

Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N]
Saying yes (I presume I should have not), it tells me the same as before:
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
