I’m having yet another problem with my Manjaro installation.
I am not able to update my system, since I have this package conflict I am not able to solve, even after spending multiple hours researching that annoying issue.
The error message is:
:: libpamac and pamac-common are in conflict. Remove pamac-common? [y/N]
I hope somebody can help me out with this problem, since I’m starting to consider switching distro, after many hours of unsuccessful troubleshooting.
Yes, it’s my first post - however my Manjaro experience has been quite devastating, even though I really liked the distro and even recommended it to friends the first few weeks while using it.
If I type “y” this happens:
:: libpamac and pamac-common are in conflict. Remove pamac-common? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing pamac-common breaks dependency 'pamac-common=10.0.6-2' required by pamac-cli
If I try to delete pamac-cli with pacman -R, this happens:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing pamac-cli breaks dependency 'pamac-cli<11' required by manjaro-application-utility
:: removing pamac-cli breaks dependency 'pamac-cli=10.0.6-2' required by pamac-gtk
This issue seems to arise from either faulty mirrors, faulty installation, or a failure to update over long periods of time. The last I can see any reference to this exchange is from 2 months ago, and I think it was old then.
We can quickly remove them skipping dependencies and add them back.
Looks like you have been using something like sudo npm ...
Which is not correct usage … please see this for how to handle npm properly in the future: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Node.js
As to completing your transaction, you can remove or overwrite or backup the files, see this:
Uhh … you dont need to do that. You already removed the first packages and sorted mirrors.
And its probably not best to use a full overwrite on everything if you dont have to.
If you want to use the overwrite method please use
