Issue updating: yad local newer than extra & alsa-lib conflict

General system Pacman
1

Hi there, bit stumped with this one. I tried to update yesterday, which fails with the following output:

:: installing alsa-lib (1.2.10-1) breaks dependency 'alsa-lib=1.2.9' required by lib32-alsa-lib

I also noticed that this comes up just before the update fails:

warning: yad: local (13.0-1.1) is newer than extra (13.0-1)

From my reading, it seems this might be something to do with out of date mirrors, so I went and refreshed both the Arch and Endeavour mirrors, but nothing changed.

Any input into what I can try next would be appreciated.

How long has it been since you last updated the system?

Anyway, try the below command.

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring && sudo pacman -Syu

please post the full output with the terminal command you have used. There could be important information that could help solve your problem.

Huh, ok - odd. Running that gave me this output:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
warning: archlinux-keyring-20230821-2 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: target not found: endeavouros-keyring

Full output when running yay:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: yad: local (13.0-1.1) is newer than extra (13.0-1)

other repos like endeavouros and multilib are missing.

please post the output from

cat /etc/pacman.conf

and

#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture

# Repository entries are of the format:

#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the

yay -Qs endeavouros-keyring:

    EndeavourOS keyring

Also, just to answer what was asked earlier, I update pretty regularly, so I probably updated last sometime time this week.

replace the content from your /etc/pacman.conf with the EndeavourOS original from here and try again to update your system.

That seems to have fixed it - I think what happened is that I overwrote the pacman.conf when sorting through pacnew files earlier in the week. Thanks for the quick diagnosis and solution, much appreciated!
