Manjaro-cinnamon-settings and manjaro-gnome-settings are in conflict

Support

I’m getting the following dependency conflict:

Resolving dependencies…
Checking inter-conflicts…
Error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
Failed to prepare transaction:
conflicting dependencies:

  • manjaro-cinnamon-settings and manjaro-gnome-settings are in conflict

Any suggestions to resolve this?

Only install the desktop settings package appropriate for your Desktop Environment.

I use Cinnamon. Only manjaro-cinnamon-settings is listed in the package updates list and manjaro-gnome-settings is shown as not installed when I search for it under browse. How can I check if one of the packages being updated is bringing it in as a dependency?

That shouldn’t be happening.

❯ pacman -Sii manjaro-gnome-settings | grep 'Required By'
Required By     : manjaro-gnome-extension-settings

Try updating with pacman instead of pamac or Add/Remove Software (if applicable):

sudo pacman -Syu

FYI, I’ve moved the discussion to a new topic.

For the dependency check I get:

[... ~]$ pacman -Sii manjaro-gnome-settings | grep 'Required By'
Required By     : manjaro-gnome-extension-settings
[... ~]$ pacman -Sii manjaro-gnome-extension-settings | grep 'Required By'
Required By     : None

If I try to install by pacman I get a similar error:

...
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace firefox-gnome-theme-maia with community/manjaro-gnome-settings? [Y/n] Y
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 2 providers available for clap-host:

Enter a number (default=1):

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected

:: manjaro-cinnamon-settings and manjaro-gnome-settings are in conflict

Ah, I see. I’ll fix that with manjaro-gnome-settings 20221227-1 here in a few minutes.

In the meantime, remove firefox-gnome-theme-maia then update normally.

sudo pacman -Rdd firefox-gnome-theme-maia

Refresh the page. :wink:

Thanks @Yochanan that fixed it: I now have a successful upgrade and reboot. Thanks for your quick response.
