Usual trick to fix pacman (could not satisfy dependencies)

[Sido]

Hi !
What’s your fastest trick to fix that kind of problems of dependencies during pacman updates ?

Reading update announcements.

You might be blocked updating when using pacman due to some libcanberra packages. Simply remove those packages: sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-libcanberra-pulse lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer libcanberra-pulse libcanberra-gstreamer. We recommend to use pamac anyway, which does this automatically: pamac update

Yeah, but in most general cases which approach is the most recommended to use ?

pamac ?

imho, I think, since this is Manjaro, user’s should consider Manjaro’s pamac. Since pamac uses the same library as pacman, it wouldn’t hurt to use either or both. Actually, since I’ve been using Manajaro this is the first time I recall seeing it recommended, and by @philm too. Where are these recommendations It was recently updated to V10. This doesn’t mean everything will be perfect, but development is active and issues appear to be addressed rapidly. We know when pamac is being updated, I wish it was more clearly communicated when pamac is being downgraded.

I use pacman, but pamac for AUR packages, but others I know use only pamac.

Others had the same question.
