On one system I can’t update manjaro.
I get the message:
conflicting dependencies:

  • deepin-kwin and kwin are in conflict
    –
    The fact is that I don’t have deepin-kwin installed.
#  pamac list | grep -i kwin
kwin                                        6.7.3-1                         extra     32,4 MB

Can you tell me what packages I have to remove to install this update?

Do not use a root shell to run pamac.

What is the full output of running pamac update or sudo pacman -Syu?

Please see:

But you have kwin installed so I reckon the message means that the package manager wants to install deepin-kwin. Would you like to install Deepin? This conflicts with Plasma.

There was a similar topic a while ago - also about deepin-kwin

Deepin package conflicts on latest stable update

In that topic it was the deepin-polkit-agent which would pull deepin-kwin package. Removing the the packages belonging the the deepin group solved the issue.

You have a package in the update queue which has dependency on deepin-kwin

Do not replace kwin with deepin-kwin - instead remove the package which wants to pull deepin-kwin.

Please tidy your system before you update

[INFO] Stable branch - BIG update BEST practice

Since you do not have deepin-kwin installed - you can try search the meta-data to see which package(s) will pull deepin-kwin

pacman -Sii deepin-kwin

Or see what packages you have belonging to the deepin group

pacman -Qg deepin

Most likely you have a package from the deepin group on your system - perhaps you removed deepin long time ago but forgot the one package which now back to bite you.

pamac search deepin | grep Installed

I used this computer since many years and I don’t know when parts of deepin where installed.
I removed deepin with:

$ sudo pamac remove deepin* dtk6core dtk6declarative dtk6gui dtk6widget dtkcore dtkdeclarative dtkgui dtkwidget

And then I could install my update.
Thank you all for your help.

Have a nice day and a nice weekend,

As I mentioned above…

Do not use sudo with pamac. It will prompt for authentication when required.
