Re: Cannot upgrade libcanberra and pyqt

I've got the same problem.

Running:

pacman -Syu --ignore glibc,curl

Gives me:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

The previous posts of this thread havn't really helped me. I don't dare to be to explorative either since this is my office computer. Please help!

BTW, I really think this is the most serious problem in Arch's history. Hope Arch Linux won't end up like Gentoo. Users fleeing due to upgrade breakages.

Re: Cannot upgrade libcanberra and pyqt

It might be a little late, but for me this fixed it:

pacman -Sy
pacman -S sip python-sip

Then follow the upgrade steps in
