[SOLVED] pkgbrowser: installing pacman (5.1.0-2) breaks dependency

Apologies in advance if I'm to take these up with AUR repos but my understanding was that these issues are core.

Since maybe 10-14 days ago, I've been having this problem:

pkgbrowser: installing pacman (5.1.0-2) breaks dependency 'pacman<5.1

Now, per some suggestion I found out there (googling will result in a few results for similar problems), I did a "pacman -Syu" ignoring pkgbrowser, which seemed to at least update the rest of my system, but today I get an additional problem that looks to be related, to me:

downgrade: installing pacman (5.1.0-2) breaks dependency 'pacman-contrib

Can anyone please advise as I seem to be stuck here?

Thanks,
Chris

Remove the AUR packages.  Update the AUR packages to the latest version from the AUR.  Rebuild then reinstall them those packages.

Thanks @loqs for the quick reply!

I had been afraid that messing with pacman might cause other problems, or, in googling I'd seen other issues about mirrors and things.

But I simply removed those two packages and did a 'pacman -Syu' and it looks like all is well.

I didn't even reinstall the AURs yet as, as far as I can tell, I don't have any immediate need for them.
