Try to refresh your mirrors and do it again, we definitely have lvm-libs v11.0.1 in our repo

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5
sudo pacman -Syyu

  1. In the future, when providing code/output, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text so that the output looks like this:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

    instead of like this:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.`

    (as that makes both our lives much easier)

  2. No need to do anything right now as I’m an editor here on this site and have fixed it for you already. However, in the future I might not see your post so review my edits by pushing the orange pencil above the post I just fixed. :wink:

  3. Follow @realmain 's excellent advice!

I also am not able to install mesa-git because of this dependency error.
Mesa-git requires older llvm-libs 11.0.1 but llvm-libs version in repository is 11.1.0

Oh, woops, misplaced the 1 when I checked it. Sounds like the mesa-git package is out of date then.

You can always use the aur version though

Hello,

newbie here =D

I am experiencing the same after upgrading the stable version.

Current error:

could not satisfy dependencies:
- unable to satisfy dependency 'llvm-libs=11.0.1' required by mesa-git

After some back and forth I verified the following details:

This is the current repository available llvm-libs version:

$ sudo pacman -Si llvm-libs

I checked my cached “upgrade path” and verified the following local files:

$ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-11.*
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-11.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-11.0.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

/var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-11.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

I performed a manual downgrade to local version 11.0.1-1

$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-11.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

However, if I try to install mesa-git, I am getting the same error :\

Any tips?
I did check the link you provided, but the issue seems to be finding the correct llvm-libs version that is accepted by mesa-git.
Also, the link/guide, does not cover on how to build a version from AUR.

I am new but eager to learn something, so a few pointers to make the journey less frustrating are really appreciated.

Thanks and stay safe.

pamac build mesa-git

Note: Always read the comments on the AUR page before installing.

Just an update;

before doing the build, I tried the following with success:

$ sudo pacman -Syuu mesa-git --assume-installed llvm-libs=11.0.1

Current packages:

OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 21.1.0-devel (git-766538f83c)

As you can see, I have the latest version of llvm-libs, however with the “-assume-installed llvm-libs=11.0.1” flag, it has bypassed the installation requirement.

Note: I’ve tested a couple of games that were having issues/poor performance; they are working and I do not notice any issues.

Hope this helps
