Pacman dependency error

pacman giving error while updating

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing kpeople5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kpeople' required by kpeoplevcard

I even try to download individually by doing

sudo pacman -Sdw 

but it’s the same thing

post the full output of what you are trying to do, not just a few lines, if you can’t decipher it yourself
You probably have installed some AUR package which is getting in your way now.
Deinstall it, do the update, then check whether you even need it anymore.

You probably have installed some AUR package which is getting in your way now.

I only have SVP (Smooth Video Project), MPV media player & libplacebo-git from AUR

[soundofthunder]

Try either of these:

sudo pacman -Syu kpeoplevcard

… or, if that doesn’t work, this:

sudo pacman -Syuu

[Char]

both didn’t work

[linux-aarhus]

Remove any custom packages build from AUR scripts.

1. Save a list of custom packages

    pacman -Qqem > custom-pkg.txt
   

2. Remove them

    sudo pacman -R $(pacman -Qqem)
   

3. Run a full system sync - assuming your mirror is in-sync with the mother ship

    sudo pacman -Syu
   

4. Rebuild your custom packages (append --no-confirm if you want to skip prompts)

    pamac build $(cat custom-pkg.txt)

@linux-aarhus

sudo pacman -R $(pacman -Qqem)

this command gave an error

:: removing libplacebo-git breaks dependency 'libplacebo' required by vlc

[linux-aarhus]

You have - obviously - a system which depends a lot on custom packages.

This is entirely unsupported.

In your case you will have to remove vlc as well - reinstall vlc after the update.

sudo pacman -Rdd systemd-kcm manjaro-settings-manager kpmcore libkipi && sudo pacman -Syuu && sudo pacman -S systemd-kcm manjaro-settings-manager kpmcore libkipi

@Aragorn

sudo pacman -Rdd systemd-kcm manjaro-settings-manager kpmcore libkipi

Oh Thank you! but what does these package do, I thought manjaro-settings-manager is important

[Aragorn]

It is — sort of — but the command I gave you reinstalls it after updating your system.

[Char]

Thank you so much hope you a great rest of your day

[Takakage]

I wonder if they might be better off removing libkipi altogether (and kipi-plugins, if also installed). libkipi does not appear to be in the Manjaro repo, and seems only available via the AUR, where the comments suggest it is “defunct, deprecated, and not used by any application.”
