It suggests me to remove qt5-webkit. Is it safe? I’ve seen messages of people, both using Manjaro and other Arch distributions, having bricked systems after this latest update, so I’m not sure if going on or wait for a new update.
People could make better suggestions on how to proceed if you would share the terminal output of the whole session.
The graphical tool (pamac-manager
) also has the option to show this.
But it may be easier to open a terminal and:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f
or, in my case:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c Germany
(refresh mirrors)
and then:
sudo pacman -Syyu
then share the whole output
Hi @viktorbir,
The only qt-webkit
I could fine is in the AUR:
$ pamac search qt5-webkit
python-pyqt5-webkit 5.15.10-1 AUR
A set of Python bindings for the Qt5 toolkit with Qt5WebKit support
mingw-w64-qt5-webkit 5.9.0-1 AUR
Classes for a WebKit2 based implementation and a new QML API (mingw-w64)
qt5-webkit-movableink-git r269464.3cfcdcf38a52-3 AUR
Classes for a WebKit2 based implementation and a new QML API
qt5-webkit-git 5.212.0.alpha4.r13.gac8ebc6c3-4 AUR
Classes for a WebKit2 based implementation and a new QML API
qt5-webkit 5.212.0alpha4-23 AUR
Classes for a WebKit2 based implementation and a new QML API
Therefore, I think it’s safe to remove as long as your mirrors are updated and synced.
You can use pacman -Qi qt5-webkit
to see if the package is required by any other package. If not, you can remove it.
That depends … on what is depending on it - the simplest check
sudo pacman -Rns qt5-webkit -p
If you find there is no problems you repeat the command without the -p option
Im getting something similar, it asks me to remove electron25 though.

There is at least one other thread about this exact same issue.
and you should.
will it not break anything?
No, it won’t break anything - you would know why had you read the the other thread I linked you to.
