Unable to satisfy dependency libnettle, libhogweed

New Manjaro user here. I am unable to install the update. Looking for any help on where to look.
The error message is;
could not satisfy dependencies:

  • unable to satisfy dependency ‘libnettle.so=9-64’ required by dnsmasq
  • unable to satisfy dependency ‘libhogweed.so=7-64’ required by dnsmasq

Start your own topic and start by reading the tutorials how to ask for help and how to provide system information, because i think this will take some time. So that we go step by step.

Sounds like a partial sync - did you get any error messages during the update?

Perhaps you should rebuild your mirror list and rerun the update

sudo pacman-mirrors --zone
sudo pacman -Syyu

In case it’s needed:

pamac update --no-aur --force-refresh

Which is kind of the problem, because i checked quickly and those are the current versions…so if he wants to update something…but something else is current, that means partial update.
But this is speculation. Without some more feedback, and the full output of the above commands and errors, inxi, etc.
