[SOLVED] Package conflicts with steam-native-runtime and lib32...

Hello everyone.
Yesterday and today, I have had trouble updating my system because of the following error:

Installing libsndfile (1.1.0-2) conflicts with dependency »libsndfile=1.0.31«, required by lib32-libsndfile

I traced the conflict back to two packages: steam-native-runtime and lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs. I removed those packages and their dependencies.
The update ran fine after that, but now I cannot reinstall steam-native runtime due to the following errors:

Warning: Cannot resolve "libsndfile=1.0.31" (dependency of "lib32-libsndfile")
Warning: Cannot resolve "lib32-libsndfile" (dependency of "lib32-libpulse")
Warning: Cannot resolve "lib32-libpulse" (dependency of "lib32-libcanberra")
Warning: Cannot resolve "lib32-libcanberra" (dependency of "steam-native-runtime")

Warning: Cannot resolve "lib32-libmikmod" (dependency of "lib32-sdl_mixer")
Warning: Cannot resolve "lib32-sdl_mixer" (dependency of "steam-native-runtime")

What can I do to resolve these conflicts?

A mistake, see below.

Do you have multilib enabled?

Thanks for your quick reply.
If I understand correctly, /etc/pacman.conf should include the following (without #s):

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Which mine does, so yes.

Sorry, that was not it and I noticed it a second after posting: you wouldn’t be able to reach that point if multilib was not enabled.

It seems that libsndfile has been updated under a hour ago. For some reason lib32-libsndfile was not. But the package has been updated a minute ago, just when I was writing this post. So just wait for your mirror to pick up the change.

Ah yes. I ran pacman -Syu and then pacman -Sy steam-native-runtime and the conflicts have been resolved. It installed wihtout a hitch. Thanks again.
