[Solved] libmariadbclient breaking dependency libmysqlclient

Hi all,

When trying to update using "pacman -Syu", I get the following error:

looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: root: installing libmariadbclient (10.1.24-1) breaks dependency 'libmysqlclient'

I tried to uninstall libmysqlclient, but it is not installed ! Reproducing these steps https://www.archlinux.org/news/mariadb- … ositories/ lead to the same error (or maybe I'm doing something wrong ? ).

Also, I haven't updated in a while (3-4 weeks). I've searched for this issue, but cannot find anything on it.
I run Arch with KDE.

Thanks for any help !

"root" is the problem, whatever that is.

Root is a C++ framework: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/root/

Re: [Solved] libmariadbclient breaking dependency libmysqlclient

you can't uninstall libmysqlclient, because it is not a package, it is a general dependency that libmariadbclient satisfies. you need to fix the root package in order to upgrade

according to the page you linked, they have fixed the dependency problem, you just need to rebuild and reinstall the package
