Pipewire-alsa (1:1.2.2-1) breaks dependency 'pulseaudio-alsa' required by zoom

After upgrade I got :

looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing pipewire-alsa (1:1.2.2-1) breaks dependency 'pulseaudio-alsa' required by zoom

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Zoom is an AUR package.
It is your responsibility.

But I will mention ā€¦ zoom does not rely on pulseaudio-alsa.
It is an optional dependency.

So whatever you are doing ā€¦ is not actually required. Maybe this is an outcome related to the use of pamac ?

I deleted zoom, in order to proceed the installation, but then I got

gpg: error while loading shared libraries: libassuan.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After

$find /usr/lib -name 'libassuan.so*' -exec ls -l {} \;

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80048 Jul 17 12:54 /usr/lib/libassuan.so.9.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 17 12:54 /usr/lib/libassuan.so -> libassuan.so.9.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 17 12:54 /usr/lib/libassuan.so.9 -> libassuan.so.9.0.0

To resolve the issue, I created a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libassuan.so.9 /usr/lib/libassuan.so.0

The problems continued with

error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine

I continued with

$sudo pacman-mirrors -c Global #I reconfigured my mirrors
$sudo rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ #delete the keys needed for verification
$sudo pacman-key --init #reinitialize the gpg key ring
$sudo pacman-key --populate #import the default GPG keys

Finally, I updated my system,

$sudo pacman -Syu

and reinstalled zoom.
However, Iā€™m puzzled as to why these issues occurred.

This sounds like this bug: gpg: error while loading shared libraries: libassuan.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
