[SOLVED] package conflict with removed package

Yes, except if you still have sound issues w/ PA.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Yes, everything seems to be working again now.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me achieve this

Thanks this is one of my first posts too. Thanks to this thread I think I fixed mine too.

For me it was:
paru --remove manjaro-pipewire

manjaro-pipewire-20231009-1 Total Removed Size: 0.00 MiB

1. After reading through all this I have decided I would like to make and open source a chart or diagram that illustrates the various dependencies here.
2. I noticed that first mention of `kwin` late in the discussion by X3N0N, seemingly solved by marking a package as disabled of "masked" with ***ctl, to get around not being able to uninstall `pipewire-session manager`. My hunch is this could be the critical but subtle bug in this whole weirdness. Optional dependcy?
3. I came here via G search "PA Equalizer 3.0.2-10 failed to install. Could not satisfy: removing pipewire-pulse breaks dependency 'pipewire-pulse' required by manjaro-pipewire". Would you say `manjaro-pipewire` is conceptually similar to `pipewire-session manager`? I sort of distribution glue to make an opinionated choice here?

It feels like a race condition of sorts. Correct me if I am wrong:
- ALSA sits underneath everpresent perfectly to use like assembly code
- ALSA = kernal mode audio?
- Jack is a legacy Pro fork of ALSA (or it does similar low-level job?) like ASIO/Apple AudioUnits
- Jack is half kernel mode half user/pro. But has horific bug: can silence other apps by mistake + reboots + order of launching can matter
- PulseAudio popular with apps that only need simple audio function ==> ALSA
-
- Pipewire is modern set to replace Jack and/or pulse far in the future, until then it also perhaps Jack to plug-in as a client to get to
but is legacy due to... does JACK goes around ALSA? Or conflict with ALSA? I noticed there is some apps that seem to silence the other apps like browsers. I'm on Manjaro with KDE Plasma / kwin.

We have no idea about Manjaro packages, you'll need to ask on their support channels, these are for Arch Linux support only.

Also, please don't necrobump.

Closing.
