Hi,
I can’t download today’s update because there is a conflict between Pipewire and Pulsaudio, but I can’t uninstall and ignore the latter. This hasn’t been a problem before.
How do I uninstall pulsaudio and all its dependencies?
pipewire-pulse-1:1.4.9-2 and pulseaudio-17.0+r93+gbe2efb69b-1 are in conflict

Correct way to install pipewire is still:
pamac install manjaro-pipewire
Usually you do not need to un-install anything. When you have applied the above command (successfully), check if your mirrors are sync’d , start update procedure again and report exact error messages.

Have you checked your mirrors? Many have not yet been synchronized. You could update your specif mirror list via:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f
and then run
sudo pacman -Syyu

pipewire-pulse will conflict with pulseaudio as it is a replacement of pulseaudio …
Hmm … I use gqrx, which requires Pulseaudio.

Have you tried
pamac remove pulseaudio
Here is a thread with a very similar issue:
Hello,
I have an error trying to update today.
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: pipewire-pulse-1:1.2.3-1 and pulseaudio-17.0-3 are in conflict
pulseaudio package is not installed, so I don’t understand the conflict. I have removed pulseaudio-ctl per the update notes, but no change.

Remove libopenshot , which is an AUR package, update your system and recompile libopenshot against the new system …
