I was trying to upgrade my system and got a dependency conflict error
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing svt-av1 (1.7.0-1) breaks dependency 'svt-av1=1.6.0' required by lib32-svt-av1
How do I solve this?

See if this post can be of any help:
It seems that lib32-svt-av1 has been dropped to AUR.
Check if you have anything in your system that depend on it:
pactree -r lib32-svt-av1
If you have, build the package first from AUR and then update the rest of your system.
If you don’t, you could remove it and then update your system.

Thank you for your reply.
I had already found this post. But it does not help. He did not share how he solved the issue (He himself doesn’t know I think)

What does it actually mean?
It’s no longer on the AUR?

If it has been installed on your system before from the official repos, it seems it is no longer available there. It is currently in the AUR.
What does the following command show?
pactree -r lib32-svt-av1

>>> pactree -r lib32-svt-av1
lib32-svt-av1
Does this mean I can just remove it? I’m scared to do it though. Don’t know if its being used or not.

Yes. Nothing else in your system is dependent on this package. Otherwise you would have had a list of those packages.
You could do:
sudo pacman -R lib32-svt-av1 && sudo pacman -Syu
to first remove that package and then update the packages you have installed originating from the official repos.
