I tried to update my system today, using:
sudo pacman -Syu
It results in:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
because it wants to install lib32-libcanberra and libcanberra even if I tell it not to.
See terminal output below. The first time I told it to install the two packages. The second time I told it not to. Both times it tried to install them and failed.
First time:
