pacman will ask you if you want to replace hwids with hwdata. Confirm that with “y” an things will be ok.
pamac I don’t know. Most likely it will automatically replace it.
This wasn’t the case for me. It never asked me to replace anything. What am I supposed to do?
edit:
I apologize. To be precise, pacman thinks there’s no updates at all.

hwdata (Wanted by: corectrl)
You are most probably on the stable branch and hwdata is not in the stable branch yet so it will ask you when you’ll get the next stable update. So wait or change branch:
Thanks for emphasizing on this, wasn’t aware that you could switch branches.
I switched to testing branch (no reboot though), and now it complains about expat too. Do you think I should even try to resolve this at the moment or just wait a few weeks? Im just worried that if I wait a few weeks more something may break if the update is too big and too updated.
Hm, every command produced errors due to dependency requirements.

I’m not sure how to resolve this situation. It seems that it can’t even replace hwids with core/hwdata.
