Error updating the system, conflicting dependencies

[Udy]

Hi! I tried to update the system today, using the sudo pacman -Syu command, but I encountered the following error.

I would like to ask for some help to solve it.

[ehudd@endeavour ~]$ LANG=C sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 endeavouros is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date

:: installing lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs (1.22.1-1) breaks dependency 'lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs=1.22.0' required by lib32-gst-plugins-ugly

Thanks in advance

What says:

LANG=C pacman -Qi lib32-gst-plugins-ugly

?

What I could find is that the package doesn’t seem to be in multilib repo any more but in AUR.

If you need that, you would need probably to uninstall the one you have and install the one from AUR which does have correct versions of its dependencies:

$ yay -Si lib32-gst-plugins-ugly

By the way, was it long time ago you updated your system?

[Udy]

Yeah, it’s been about three weeks since I updated my laptop because some updates broke essential programs for my work and studies like Rstudio, Zotero, Pandoc. I was waiting for official updates in the repositories and in the AUR because I did not want to compile from GitHub. So then, I should use the commandsudo Pacman -Rs {package_name} to fix the problem?

Thank you very much for your help

@Udy

sudo Pacman -Rs {package_name}

Yes. This should remove package_name and all its dependencies that are not needed by some other package(s) in the system.

Afterwards, run sudo pacman -Syu to update the packages from the official repos.
