STEAM installation - dependency cycle detected

Fresh installation gives me error while trying to install steam:

[eos2024@eos2024-a520mh ~]$ sudo pacman -S steam

I’ve read in a non-related topic that dependency cycle warning can be “safely ignored”, but it’s better to ask than to ruin a fresh install. Please advise.

Yes. Pacman will keep track of what needs to be installed. The message is only informative.
