I had to remove lib32-db today from three manjaro systems in order to complete today’s big update. db update requires a different version,

Removing lib32-db allowed the update to continue.

I have been using Manjaro KDE since 2020, never had this sort of problem; but I am getting the same problem as mentioned in OP.

Couple of questions:

1 - what is lib32-db and what depends on it?
2- it is suggested that I remove it - how can I remove it using pacman?
3- I have a couple of things from aur (chrome, intellij,…) - but I use makepkg to install them, lib32-db installed from aur? If so how can i remove it?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you that worked! And thank you for showing me how to look for dependencies in the future (or lack there of)!

Is it safe to remove all lib32* packages? Does the base system depend on it? Or only custom build/installed software probably?

10

1.) no - but it depends on what you mean by “is it safe?”
(you can always reinstall a missing package to correct a mistake …)
2.) no
3.) probably - since the base system does not need it

pacman -Qii $package_name
or
pacman -Sii $package_name

can tell you what other package requires the presence of the one you are interested in removing

pacman/Rosetta - ArchWiki

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve removed all lib32 packages with the exception of lib32-glibc, which I apparently need to build a driver for my Brother label printer.
