[Solved] How to best update with conflicting openblas package

I tried to update my system but i'm getting this message:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-3) breaks dependency 'blas' required by cblas
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-3) breaks dependency 'blas' required by lapack
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-3) breaks dependency 'blas' required by magma-cuda
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-3) breaks dependency 'blas' required by python-kraken
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-3) breaks dependency 'blas' required by superlu

I assume I can just uninstall openblas and install blas itself to satisfy the dependencies and continue with the update but I'm not sure about the consequence of this and also if it is the best way to proceed.
Any advice?

EDIT: Just received the news-update on how to resolve this.
