Support System Updates

Hi, i have a conflict after the update between deepin-kwin and kwin when i try to update deepin-polkit-agent:

❯ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] Mot de passe de marc :

:: deepin-kwin - 6.0.8-9 et kwin - 6.7.3-1 sont en conflit. Supprimer kwin ? [o/N] 
erreur : un conflit de paquets impossible à résoudre a été détecté
erreur : la préparation de la transaction a échoué (conflit de dépendances )
:: deepin-kwin - 6.0.8-9 et kwin - 6.7.3-1 sont en conflit
    ~ 

I’m pretty sure i don’t use deepin. What can i do?

Thanks

That is difficult then - how did you get it in the first place?

Ever experimented with deepin?

I vaguely recall - years back - a deepin community ISO - but as I recall, it was short-lived due to the frequent breaking of packages.

I have also seen a rare topics regarding a community spin with deepin desktop - but I believe it is now history.

I am guessing you could start with replacing deepin-kwin with kwin and then remove deeping-polkit-agent along with deeping-shell and deepin-session-shell.

It’s a recent installation (new pc) and i don’t remember installing anything about deepin…

Does that help?

❯ pactree -r kwin

I think i can replace deepin-kwin as you suggest?

The info provided does not make it clear why you have the issue or how the package has been installed in the first place.

Since Manjaro never had any dependency on any deepin packages, it must have been pulled by a custom package at some point.

I suggest your remove deepin-polkit-agent because it is not needed and the presence wants to replace important plasma packages.

sudo pacman -Rns deepin-polkit-agent

Perhaps you should check your system for orphans and obsolete packages?

pamac list --orphans

Perhaps a clenaup in your alien packages?

pamac list --foreign

If you are on KDE Plasma you can’t be using deepin since that is conflicting. I have no idea why pacman tries to load deepin-kwin. I wouldn’t install deepin-kwin because it may break your Plasma installation. Perhaps pacman -Syu --debug helps to figure out what is going on?

I unstalled deepin and it seems ok.
