It gives me the same error here. I’ll try updating again tomorrow. If it fails again, then I’ll worry.

There are a number of dependencies so I’m unsure how to deal with it.

As I said, I would wait and try again later. It may not have synced to your mirror yet.

Apparently lua54 was not moved out of testing. So an Arch issue. Should become apparent quickly and hopefully also be fixed.

Thanks! How did you find that out?

Ah. That would do it.

If such an issue occurs I usually check the package’s web page.

Yes, lua54 is a dependency there, so I click that package, and that is only in testing.

lua54 just moved from extra-testing to extra.

So it won’t install libinput because it can’t grab the dependency package that is in testing. Correct?

Already fixed update again.
