When I try to update anything I get the following message:
could not satisfy dependencies:
removing linux510-rt-bbswitch breaks dependency ‘linux510-rt-bbswitch’ required by linux-rt-lts-manjaro-bbswitch
removing linux510-rt-broadcom-wl breaks dependency ‘linux510-rt-broadcom-wl’ required by linux-rt-lts-manjaro-broadcom-wl
My best guess is that something with the old 5.10.90_rt60-1 Kernel is borked. I tried to remove it multiple times, and it won’t budge, giving out the same dependency error.
I tried multiple solutions with my limited knowledge, like removing the specific parts (didn’t work), installing a number of other Kernels, including newer rt Kernels, and switching between those (didn’t work).
It feels a bit like the part was already removed, but the system still thinks it is there, the problem is that it stops everything else from being able to update, which is obviously becoming a problem.
I really hope someone can give me some easy to understand help to fix this problem.
Please be nice.
EDIT: If someone runs into a similar problem, please read the whole thread as multiple steps had to be taken to solve the problem and the solution is only the last step!
I believe the packages linux-rt-lts-manjaro-bbswitch and linux-rt-lts-manjaro-broadcom-wl have been dropped long ago. You should mark their dependencies as explicitly installed, and remove the dropped ones.
If it doesn’t return anything, you indeed don’t have it installed. You may need to make your system think it is – it may require a correct (fake) version.
Thank you, it was indeed not installed, and I had to take the second solution, and it worked!
I’m very happy that I can finally update my system and programs again!
While I wouldn’t consider myself a complete novice, this problem was certainly way above my knowledge.
