.NET packages may require manual intervention

Arch announced that a manual intervention may be required for users who have the dotnet and aspnet packages installed.

They said:

The following packages may require manual intervention due to the upgrade from 9.0 to 10.0:

  • aspnet-runtime
  • aspnet-targeting-pack
  • dotnet-runtime
  • dotnet-sdk
  • dotnet-source-built-artifacts
  • dotnet-targeting-pack

pacman may display the following error failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) for the affected packages.

If you are affected by this and require the 9.0 packages, the following commands will update e.g. aspnet-runtime to aspnet-runtime-9.0:

pacman -Syu aspnet-runtime-9.0

pacman -Rs aspnet-runtime

My workaround was to issue the first command and omit the 2nd (thus also tracking the 10.0 tree).
