Post more. like wht? I was trying to update & got that. Sorry, I jst donāt know what yo want. Also, why do Arch distroes do this? I am not doing this on perpusā¦
Maybe you should try to
- remove
v4l-utils - make the update
- reinstall
v4l-utils
I put v41-utils in search, no results. I will just remove the file.
It is not v41 as in fourty-one, but v4l as in 4l (lowercase L)
Oh, duh me. 
Now I get could not satisfy dependencies:
- removing v4l-utils breaks dependency āv4l-utilsā required by ffmpeg
The output of sudo pacman -Syyu, as text
Of course

Looks like I need to uninstall ffmpeg, to uninstall v4l-utils & reinstll. Somehow everything else got updted, accept v4l-utils, cause that is all that is in my updates list now.
No, you need to remove edid-decode-git
sudo pacman -R edid-decode-git
Some time ago edid-decode was removed from v4l-utils and later re-added for what I recall

Ok, so now just update. Or Restart & update, so I can hit apply.
