[SOLVED] Dependency hell? icu breaking qt5-webkit + corrupt dbs

General system Newbie

Had issues with corrupt databases before, so thanks to community for their help. Now have another issue when trying to update:

: Timeout was reached
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=74-64' required by qt5-webkit
:: installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=74-64' required by qt5-webkit

What is icu? Don’t really want it to break qt5, right?

This is a package from AUR. What is depending on it on your system?

What says pactree -r qt5-webkit ?

Good suggestion. QuiteRSS…which I don’t use anymore. How about I remove QuiteRSS and all dependencies and try running pacman -Syu again…

Tried it. Used pacman -Rsc command. Back to this when I pacman -Syu:

UPDATE: As someone else wrote, a tsunami of updates! Many thanks and I shall quaff a beer in your honour. Just fyi… I also got a kinda dependency issue as well…

warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: qt6-multimedia-ffmpeg will be installed before its qt6-multimedia dependency
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: libcamera-ipa will be installed before its libcamera dependency
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: xdg-desktop-portal-kde will be installed before its plasma-workspace dependency

Just putting it there in case anyone else was worried by a quickly flashing series of error messages! Updating system now. Shall mark as Solved. Many thanks for being so quick, pebcak

It is only informing that some packages will be installed before others they are depending on.
This happens occasionally and it is not a problem needs to be addressed. It is resolved by pacman itself.
