pacman -Syu fails: kdesu5 vs kdesu

Trying to update my system:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra                                                                                                                          8.2 MiB  27.4 MiB/s 00:00 [##############################################################################################] 100%
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing kdesu5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kdesu' required by polkit-dumb-agent-git

No idea how to proceed ... better ask the forum ...

Re: pacman -Syu fails: kdesu5 vs kdesu

Do you need polkit-dumb-agent-git? If so, have you read the comments on that package's page?

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues

Aside: why do you still have the community repo? When did you last merge your pacnew files?

Sorry, I did not even realize this was an AUR package. I must have installed it for some reason a while ago. Yes, I can see the comments. They do mention kdesu5. Since I have uninstalled now this polkit ... eventually the reason I installed it in the first place will become apparent.

Also, somehow I also missed the merging between [community] and [extra]. Thanks for pointing it out. I have now removed the repo and resynced.
