Error updating the system with the application mkvtoolnix and a library . I have removed the application and I can’t re-install it because of the library problem.

sudo pacman -S mkvtoolnix-cli mkvtoolnix-gui
resolviendo dependencias…
advertencia: no se pudo resolver «libFLAC.so=12-64», una dependencia de «mkvtoolnix-cli»

Try this instead:

sudo pacman -Syu mkvtoolnix-cli mkvtoolnix-gui

Your suggestion does not help unfortunately, still asking for dependency libflac 12-64 while libflac is at version 14
Same goes for the commandline version

My guess is that mkvtoolnix is build at an older libflac version by the maintainer? It is already flagged out of date

Yeah, it looks like a new version was released that is built against an older dependency.

That will have to fixed by the package maintainer.

Well, there is nothing left but to wait for the software to be updated with the new version of the library.

THANKS!!!

I got around it by installing the flatpak which is the latest version. Tested and runs perfectly.
