Failed installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency ‘libicuuc.so=74-64’ required qt5-webkit

Support System Updates
1

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:

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.

My output:

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.
