:: installing libgit2 (1:1.7.0-3) breaks dependency ‘libgit2=1:1.6.4’ required by lib32-libgit2
→ error installing repo packages
Anyone having this problem?
Welcome to the forum! 
Looks like lib32-libkit2
Depends On : lib32-gcc-libs lib32-glibc libgit2=1:1.7.0 lib32-libssh2 ...
How did you run yay?
Make sure your system is fully updated:
sudo pacman -Syu
Thank you! 
From terminal, yay than password.
I always updated system like this, there is a better way?
Yay or sudo pacman -Syu are interrupted by this error.
If i can provide more info pls tell me 
You should always post the entire input and output from terminal. Tiny snippets like that are very difficult for folks to help you and lead to many more unnecessary questions. Please post everything for better help.

Out-of-date : No
Can’t tell if it has been in the repos before and now is dropped to AUR.
At any rate, if you have that package for some reason, you might want to rebuild it from AUR.

error installing repo packages
Thanks, i’ll watch in to this.
I solved this buy removing lib32-libgit2 with yay -R,
update the other package and than reinstalling/rebuilding lib32-libgit2.
Not sure if this is the safe way.
Packages can be installed and removed, in principal, at will.
Dependencies are the thing here, are you installing as dependency or not.
If you plan to keep those packages, there is no problem.
And if you remove the other, the only thing might be you have an orphan package as leftover, which can be a big deal if you need to keep your system as small as possible, otherwise not a real problem.
Ok understood! I’m fairly new to linux and EOS,
so thank you all for the answers and time!
