Unable to update AUR

I am getting a conflict and cant find the offending package, here is packer output:

packer -Syu --auronly

Installation failed.

The thing is I get the option but dont get the chance to choose "yes" to replace gcc-libs with multilib version. How can I know which of all the packages I want to upgrade is causing this conflict? My idea would be to remove it, then update all the remaining ones and then reinstall the problem package.

Any help?

thanks in advance!

Re: Unable to update AUR

This link details what all packages rely on gcc-libs-multilib:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/multi … -multilib/

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected

Your main problem is that gcc-libs is in conflict with gcc-libs-multilib.  What you can do instead of trying figure out which AUR package depends on gcc-libs-multilib is to uninstall gcc-libs, install gcc-libs-multilib, and then run your system AUR update.  So, the command line would be

sudo pacman -S gcc-libs-multilib

This will prompt you to remove gcc-libs and install gcc-libs-multilib.  You should then be able to update your AUR packages with packer as normal.  If you're concerned about replacing gcc-libs with gcc-libs-multilib, it shouldn't cause an issue.
