Re: [SOLVED]Problem alsa-lib (1.2.5-2) breaks the dependency when upgrade.

If I query the lib32-alsa-lib package with pacman -Si lib32-alsa-lib, it shows that it depends on alsa-lib=1.2.5.
Did you disable multilib (by accident or on purpose), but not uninstall the packages installed from that repository?

Please check (and preferably post, in [ code ] tags without the spaces) your /etc/pacman.conf.

Re: [SOLVED]Problem alsa-lib (1.2.5-2) breaks the dependency when upgrade.

On my system I have this: dependency chain

 alsa-lib=1.2.4 <- lib32-alsa-lib <- lib32-alsa-plugins <- steam

And I have the same problem. The package  lib32-alsa-lib specifically wants version 1.2.4 of alsa-lib and that is why it is not possible to upgrade to 1.2.5.
The big question is now: Does this pinned version make sense? Or will it break steam whe we force an upgrade?

Edit: I created a ticket.

Edit: StJimmy made a good suggestion: Multilib was disabled on my system and I don't remember disabling it. I'm looking into how to proceed from here.

lib32-alsa-lib was updated to 1.2.5 three days ago: https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib … -alsa-lib/

Either you have an outdated mirror, or you disabled the multilib repo after installing packages from it, leading to a partial upgrade.

As WorMzy said as well, this has (accidentally) caused you to do an (inadvertent) partial upgrade. Re-enable the multilib repo, and re-run pacman -Syu to make sure everything gets updated properly.

Would that yield no results (i.e. said dependency conflict is still not resolved), then try picking a different mirror, as it may just be that your preferred mirror hasn't fully/properly synced yet.

I check the pacman.conf and multilib was disabled, now it works!

Thanks
