I tried to use that solution, it did not work for me. I don’t even have “ffmpeg-vulcan” installed, so I can’t use the bottom part of that solution.
I was gonna remove yad, but I wanted to double check that it’s safe to do so. I tried a pacman -Qi wad and the result was, among other things, this:
Required By : eos-bash-shared yad-eos
Optional For : eos-bash-shared

.
But placing Y in the column allows to proceed. So if by doing that, should I expect that in future, this conflict will not reappear ?
Also, what should be the reason behind this ?
Yes, you almost always have to say “Yes” to package replacements. This is fairly common. It generally means that one package has been superseded by another.
In this case, there is a display bug in yad and so we are providing a patched version.
See, its work like this that the team do that makes me love EndeavourOS. Also, coming to the forum to try to work out what was going on, to find a thread with a nice and clear explanation made for a newer user like me of what to do and why.
