Issues updating the system

#1

I failed in running:

sudo pacman -Syyu

I get the following error:

resolving dependencies…
looking for conflicting packages…
warning: removing ‘pulseaudio’ from target list because it conflicts with ‘pipewire-pulse’
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency ‘pulseaudio=16.0-1’ required by pulseaudio-lirc
:: unable to satisfy dependency ‘pulseaudio=16.0-1’ required by pulseaudio-rtp

can anybody please help?

Can you post whole command with whole output? (use preformatted text instead of quote)

#3

Do you really need pulseaudio-lirc and/or pulseaudio-rtp?

You could remove them before the update, then do the update, and then if you think you need them, install them again:

pamac remove pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp
pamac update --force-refresh
pamac install pulseaudio-{lirc,rtp}
#4

Indeed, the dependency breaks because, even though pipewire-pulse does provide pulseaudio, it does so seemingly without a precise version. So the issue here comes from the missing version.

Removing pulseaudio-lirc and pulseaudio-rtp should allow you to update. Though if you want to keep them, you may need to alert the package maintainers of this deadlock…
