[Solved] update issue with ffmpeg

Hi, i'm having a problem trying to update my system

$ sudo pacman -Syu
    :: Synchronizing package databases...
     core is up to date
     extra is up to date
     multilib is up to date
    :: Starting full system upgrade...
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for conflicting packages...
    :: ffmpeg-2:7.0.1-1 and ffmpeg-obs-6.1.1-10 are in conflict. Remove ffmpeg-obs? [y/N] N
    error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
    error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
    :: ffmpeg-2:7.0.1-1 and ffmpeg-obs-6.1.1-10 are in conflict
$ sudo pacman -Syu
   :: Synchronizing package databases...
     core is up to date
     extra is up to date
     multilib is up to date
    :: Starting full system upgrade...
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for conflicting packages...
    :: ffmpeg-2:7.0.1-1 and ffmpeg-obs-6.1.1-10 are in conflict. Remove ffmpeg-obs? [y/N] y
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: removing ffmpeg-obs breaks dependency 'ffmpeg-obs>=6' required by obs-studio-tytan652
$ pacman -Q ffmpeg
    ffmpeg-obs 6.1.1-10

how do i resolve this?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_U … g_packages
rebuild obs-studio-tytan652 and ffmpeg-obs, the comments on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ffmpeg-obs are btw full of that.

Re: [Solved] update issue with ffmpeg

ok got it.
i understand that AUR packages aren't supported by arch itself, technically.
but surely there has to be a better way to do this than "uninstall the aur package, update system, reinstall aur package" right?

also oops, didn't see the aur issue section

Re: [Solved] update issue with ffmpeg

Yes, less disruptive method would be to use a clean chroot to rebuild the package against the new libs, then install it along with the rest of the system updates (e.g. using a custom/local repo).

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [Solved] update issue with ffmpeg

You probabaly don't even have to build in a clean chroot, --ignore the ffmpeg clients (mpv) update the rest of the system, rebuild ffmpeg-obs and obs-studio and then update the repo ffmpeg consumers (mpv etc) if you want it quick and dirty.
