-> Orphan (unmaintained) AUR Packages: lib32-amdvlk

[LBTRS]

Received this while running eos-update –aur and wondering if I need to do something to resolve it? Removing the package wasn’t the answer, apparently steam needs it. Appreciate any advice you may have.

amdvlk is no longer maintained. Replace is with vulkan-radeon.

The same for the lib32 variants.

I found Joe Kamprad’s thread on this even though a search didn’t bring it up for me. I installed lib32-vulkan-radeon and removed lib32-amdvlk and all is well now. Thanks Joe!

Thanks dalto, I stumbled upon the solution. How do I identify the other lib32 variants that I need to deal with?

[dalto]

You already took care of the lib32. Make sure you also replace amdvlk with vulkan-radeon

Got it, thanks a million dalto.
