Today I started having this problem (I update my laptop every day, basically, from the stable channel) where docker-desktop where it wants to update qemu, but the options provided (qemu-git and qemu-headless-git) conflict with qemu-desktop which is installed and maybe used by docker-desktop until now? Here’s the full output (without rebuilding the packages as I’ve tried that a couple of times to see if it helped):

It also doesn’t matter if I try to remove qemu-desktop or not (not removing won’t go through, and removing doesn’t work because docker-desktop and gnome-boxes depends on it). Additionally, choosing qemu-git or qemu-headless-git yields the same result.
The only relevant reference I’ve seen online is Qemu-base & Qemu-desktop conflicting dependencies - Unsupported Software (AUR & Other) - Garuda Linux Forum which is old and not really applicable here, I think. I also found nothing on GitHub - docker/desktop-linux: Bug reports for Docker Desktop for Linux
Docker Desktop works, it’s just not updating, which is annoying.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
