Missing dependency

Support System Updates
1

I got an additional linux610-nvidia update today. The upgrade fails with the following error message:

warning: cannot resolve "nvidia-utils=560.35.03", a dependency of "linux610-nvidia"

I’ve tried refreshing the mirrors but the error remains

Strange - assuming you are using unstable branch - this is how the repos are right now

 $ mbn info nvidia-utils -q

I’m on testing, see tag :wink:. Maybe this update shouldn’t have been pushed to testing? These are my pending updates:

linux610 6.10.10-1 -> 6.10.10-2
linux610-nvidia 550.107.02-5 -> 560.35.03-20
linux610-virtualbox-host-modules 7.1.0-1 -> 7.1.0-2
xdg-desktop-portal-kde 6.1.5-1 -> 6.1.5-1.0

There is this part of the testing announcement

One could speculate if you would benefit from forcing a database download and level your packages with the database using the downgrade option

sudo pacman -Syyuu

Same result. IIRC, Philm’s recommendation of updating with sudo pacman -Syuu has been there for quite a few updates now, and I followed that recommendation the first time he posted it.

Actually, you are right. There is an inconsistency in the dependencies in Testing. Using the same tool as linux-aarhus:

Not looking good.

I agree, this message about nvidia 550 and 555 is 2 or 3 months old.
I got the same error message, on testing branch too

warning: cannot resolve "nvidia-utils=560.35.03", a dependency of "linux610-nvidia"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
