What is the proper procedure for updating libgsf. Per the commit message libgnome-gsf was dropped because upstream dropped it. When trying to update the following error occurs.
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: libgsf-gnome: requires libgsf=1.14.21.
libgsf-gnome was dropped by upstream in 1.14.22 and by us now since nothing in our repos depend on it.
pacman -Rs libgsf-gnome
I realize I can complete the update by pacman -Suf or pacman -Rdd libgsf-gnome then install the libgsf update but would think this would be handled by an install file included with the package. I would prefer not to bork my box so I thought I would ask first for a change.
now, why do you think that -f will solve every problem? -f is not for forcing updates when dependencies are not met!
Stop using -f.
Thanks for your assistance.

Thats's why I didn't use -f and have quit using -f, why I don't think it will solve every problem, why I ask for the proper procedure before I borked my box, and why I asked about it being taken care of by an install file. Lately I've seen several "user intervention needed" news postings and assumed this might be one of those cases. I intentionally pointed out the wrong way to do this, sorry if I offended you.
