Two Systems Updated, One Hitting Dependency Error

Support System Updates

Morning All,

I updated two of my three Manjaro boxes without a hitch last night. My third one is hitting a dependency error:

    ~  sudo pacman -Syu                                                                                                                                                                          1 ✘  7s 

There’s your problem.

Are you on ARM? That’s the only branch where I could even fine the rest package. If not, I can’t find it, so don’t know how you installed it, so don’t think I can be of much help. However, if you are then the fix is rather simple:

Remove the package:

pamac remove rest

Do the update:

pamac upgrade --no-aur

Rebuild all AUR packages:

pamac build $(pamac list --foreign --quiiet)

And then you can reinstall rest:

pamac install rest

No idea how that package snuck in there. Not using an ARM device. It’s actually my wife’s laptop which is a pretty minimal install of Manjaro (compared to mine at least). Thanks for the solution.
