Installing libxnvctrl (525.60.11-2) breaks dependency 'libXNVCtrl.so=0-64' required by conky

Im using pamac but pacman yields the same

sudo pacman -Syu

EDIT: Sorry the error was reported using paru. Here it’s the pamac version

Edit build files : [e] 
Apply transaction ? [e/y/N] 

Transaction cancelled.

There has been no related changes with libxnvctrl nor conky.

Remove conky temporarily with sudo pacman -Rdd conky, update then reinstall it.

When reinstalling conky I get

resolving dependencies...
:: There are 2 providers available for libXNVCtrl.so=0-64:
:: Repository extra
   1) libxnvctrl-390xx  2) libxnvctrl-470xx

Enter a number (default=1): 

If I use conky-git there is no problem

conky-git works fine, conky doesn’t

You’re missing some libs in new libxnvctrl:

libxnvctrl /usr/lib/libXNVCtrl.so
libxnvctrl /usr/lib/libXNVCtrl.so.0
libxnvctrl /usr/lib/libXNVCtrl.so.0.0.0

Arch bug report filed: FS#76702 - [libxnvctrl] libXNVCtrl.so missing

I’ll investigate further.
