Re: [Solved] glib2 conflicts with gobject-introspection-runtime

Thank you for the reply.
I did do a normal upgrade with "pacman -Syu"  that failed. So that is why I posted the specific "pacman -S glib2", because I thought it would help highlight the problem. So the problem wasn't that. There was still something more going on. However, the problem has gone because I ran an upgrade and ignored that package. I left it for last. After finishing, the normal "pacman -Syu" worked so the problem is solved. Perhaps it was because I was simultaneously upgrading AUR packages (I was actually using yay and not pacman)
