Hi,

earlier today an update asked me to replace mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio with mate-settings-daemon. After taking a look at the old and new package I replaced it.

From an hour ago until now the update asks to replace mate-settings-daemon with mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio.

If I reply with Y I get:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: mate-control-center: requires mate-settings-daemon>=1.10 :: mate-session-manager: requires mate-settings-daemon>=1.10

If I reply with N I get:

there is nothing to do

Why does pacman ask me to replace it while there's nothing to do and two other packages need the installed version?

Is something wrong on my machine or should I report a bug against a package?

Too funny, I don't use Mate, I installed it just for testing purpose.

I updated and replaced the packages, but I am not suddenly getting a message to revive mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio. Do you have any packages installed that depend on it? -- Eli Schwartz
