Dear all, I was recently performing my system's scheduled maintenance and went to upgrade my packages, as you do. When I attempted to do so, this happened: |$ sudo pacman -Syu [sudo] password for winfan3672: :: Synchronizing package databases... ... :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: unable to satisfy dependency 'libicuuc.so =73-64' required by freerdp :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by brltty :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by gspell :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by harfbuzz-icu :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by libphonenumber :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=73-64' required by libphonenumber :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by raptor :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by scribus :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=73-64' required by thunderbird :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by thunderbird| This piqued my interest as it appears to be a package conflict outside of my control. I performed the upgrade excluding the |icu| package, and (almost) everything is fine now. However, I would like to know: * Is this an issue with the |icu| package? o In this case, this is an issue that needs attention and the relevant maintainer should probably look into it. * Is it an issue with me? o If so, what do I do, aside from ignoring it? I look forward to hearing your response(s). Yours truly, -- WinFan3672.

Dear all,
I was recently performing my system's scheduled maintenance and went to upgrade my packages, as you do. When I attempted to do so, this happened:
|$ sudo pacman -Syu [sudo] password for winfan3672: :: Synchronizing package databases... ... :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: unable to satisfy dependency 'libicuuc.so =73-64' required by freerdp :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by brltty :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by gspell :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by harfbuzz-icu :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by libphonenumber :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=73-64' required by libphonenumber :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by raptor :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by scribus :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=73-64' required by thunderbird :: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by thunderbird|
This piqued my interest as it appears to be a package conflict outside of my control. I performed the upgrade excluding the |icu| package, and (almost) everything is fine now.
However, I would like to know:
* Is this an issue with the |icu| package? o In this case, this is an issue that needs attention and the relevant maintainer should probably look into it. * Is it an issue with me? o If so, what do I do, aside from ignoring it?
I look forward to hearing your response(s).
Yours truly,
It appears there was a slight delay, 5 minutes or so, between icu getting moved to Core and the rest of the rebuild getting moved to Extra. If your mirror synced in that window, you'll run into this. It'll be fixed next time your mirror syncs, or pick a different mirror.

Hi, this was quite obviously a race condition. "Last Updated: 2023-12-17 15:35 UTC (46 minutes ago)" - https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/icu/ "Last Updated: 2023-12-17 15:42 UTC (42 minutes ago)" - https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/scribus/ Regards, Ralf
