extra                   8.2 MiB  12.7 MiB/s 00:01 [######################] 100%
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace texlive-core with extra/texlive-basic? [Y/n] Y

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected

Re: [SOLVED] Can't update the system

Could you be more specific on the solution?  `pacman -Runs amtk` didn't let me upgrade either, with `pacman -S libgedit-amtk` and accepting to remove `amtk` I still get dependencies conflicts...

Should one just remove the `amtk` package manually from the list or is there anything more straightforward to do? Thx

Perhaps

pacman -Rd amtk; pacman -Syu

Re: [SOLVED] Can't update the system

I suppose what you wrote is the solution, ie, remove amtk with no dependency checks and update the system right after. I just pointed to the bug, I wasn't affected so I could not check.

When the aforementioned bug is fixed, the package will be replaced automatcally. If you cannot wait, you have to replace it manually.

I uninstall gedit, then update successful.
[sudo pacman -Rd amtk] should be the right solution.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't update the system

For the more inexperienced users ...

My situation was:

$ sudo pacman -Rd amtk
[sudo] password for user: 
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing amtk breaks dependency 'amtk' required by gedit
:: removing amtk breaks dependency 'amtk' required by tepl

What worked was removing the dependency packages and amtk:

$ sudo pacman -Rd gedit tepl amtk

Afterward, I ran

pacman -Syu

and reinstalled gedit,

pacman -S gedit

which has tepl as a dependency. All other solutions did not immediately work for me.
