what is to do?

Basically, exfatprogs is a newer, updated version of exfatutils. You are probably better off with exfatprogs.

IIRC, exfatutils is needed for kernels prior to (I think) 5.4.

Generally when you get a prompt like this in pacman, the correct course of action is to accept the default offered.

I just did the update as well, but didn’t get that warning message, any thoughts? I’ve been running EndeavourOS Gnome for 2 months now, mostly on the LTS kernel.

It is because the dependency change was reverted. If you want to switch them out, just install exfatprogs

Ah no worries. I don’t know the pros/cons for the exfatprogs vs exfatutils, so I’ll just stick with what I have installed right now and not worry about it since it seems like a trivial thing :wink:

I believe that exfatprogs uses the newer exfat support in the kernel. I would switch if you can.

Hmm, I didn’t even have the package exfatutils on my system and I didn’t see it listed anywhere on Arch/AUR website search either. Went ahead and installed exfatprogs without any issue or warning to report, I’m assuming because I didn’t have exfatutils on my system.

That is probably because is it exfat-utils

Ahh very well! Either way, exfat-utils wasn’t installed on my system either, but thanks for the clarification :wink:
