Can't update my system

Hi there,

I haven't updated one of my system for some months. When trying to do that today, I get an error message:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: kdemultimedia-audiocd-kio: removing libkcompactdisc breaks dependency 'libkcompactdisc'
:: lib32-qt4: installing lib32-sqlite (3.16.2-1) breaks dependency 'lib32-sqlite3'

I don't want to use --force. It could break the system. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
D.

Update your AUR packages.

Update your AUR packages.

Thanks for answering. I suppose I have to uninstall qtchooser etc. manually. Is that the idea?
Thanks once more.

No, the idea is that you update your AUR packages. And then you might want to reconsider your strategy of only updating after "some months."

I update the the conflicting files (not only from AUR) manually and then the full upgrade worked just fine.
Thanks for your help,
D.
