As you can see there are problems with dependencies 'kpeople, ‘kcontacts’ and ‘nvidia-utils’.
Because of that I cant update my kernel too:
The following packages will be installed:
linux68
linux68-nvidia

Done ...
It has been known since December last year that 6.5 is EOL and a prominent notice in the stable announcement comment number 2 - the Known Issuess comment.
There is a lot of jokers in this - no guarantee it will work in first try
First thing to try is to boot into linux65 → then use mhwd-kernel to install linux66 and in the same execution remove the current kernel.
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66 rmc
You are likely to be greeted with information about outdated system - continue anyway.
If successful - reboot the system and rerun
sudo pacman -Syu
Otherwise you will need to remove the gpu drivers
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
Then sync system with linux66 → install gpu drivers
$ sudo pacman -Syu linux66

I tried to figure out what to do and found this post:
"Solution: Temporarily uninstall kpeoplevcard, update your system, and then reinstall it. sudo pacman -Rdd kpeoplevcard && sudo pacman -Syu kpeoplevcard "
I did exactly that, waited for packages to download.
Rebooted the system.
I reinstalled lib32-nvidia-utils and installed linux66-nvidia. Then I switched to nvidia card through Optimus GPU Switcher.
Rebooted the system.
For the most part every issue is resolved. The only problem left is this notification popping up every time I boot up manjaro.
Aside:- These complications will arise as a result of not maintaining the system as frequently and thoroughly as a rolling release demands; this is unavoidable, I’m afraid.
If you foresee this situation arising consistently, it might be worth considering a point release distribution of some kind, instead.
And BTW, if you boot/update once every 6 months, never ever install a kernel that is not LTS. They have a lifespan of about 4 months, so you will always be in unsupported state and unable to update normally.
Thank you everybody for helping with that case, your help has been great, but now I just want to get rid of this problem, that every time I boot I have to deal with auto-mount password confirmation.
