Re: [SOLVED] Can't remove vlc-git then reinstall vlc

You need to replace vlc-git with both of the packages it 'Provides':

$ auracle info vlc-git | grep Provides
Provides       : vlc=4.0.0.r33184.g82e5f6c  libvlc=4.0.0.r33184.g82e5f6c
sudo pacman -S vlc libvlc

Mod note: Moving to AUR Issues.

Sakura:-
Mobo: MSI MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX // Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X @4.9GHz // GFX: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT // RAM: 32GB (4x 8GB) Corsair DDR4 (@ 3000MHz) // Storage: 1x 3TB HDD, 6x 1TB SSD, 2x 120GB SSD, 1x 275GB M2 SSD

Making lemonade from lemons since 2015.
