Can you be more specific, thank you

You can find out what on your system requires dbus-python using pacman -Qi dbus-python

How more specific does it get? I listed the packages which depends on dbus-python - and I cannot possibly know which is installed on your system.

6

pacman -Qi dbus-python

Depends On : dbus glib2 python-dbus-common python2

And

sudo pacman -Rs glib2 python-dbus-common python2
checking dependencies…
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing glib2 breaks dependency ‘glib2’ required by accountsservice
:: removing glib2 breaks dependency ‘glib2’ required by at-spi2-core
:: removing glib2 breaks dependency ‘glib2’ required by atk
:: removing glib2 breaks dependency ‘glib2’ required by audacious
:: removing glib2 breaks dependency ‘glib2’ required by avahi

And so on…

You need to be looking at Required By not Depends On

For example mine shows:

Required By     : ibus  lutris  pulseaudio-equalizer  system-config-printer
8

Okay,

Required By : python2-pyqt4

I removed it, and make a update.

Everything is fine, thank you all for your help.
