[Solved] installing libaio (0.3.111-1) breaks dependency

Running pacman -Syu today with the following error:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-libaio: installing libaio (0.3.111-1) breaks dependency 'libaio=0.3.110'

I checked for the packages online and lib32-libaio is outdated from multilib, while the 0.3.111-1 version is under multilib-testing, which is not enabled in mine, and I do not intend to.

Can these packages be safely put in IgnorePkg for now until the 0.3.111-1 version gets passed down to the multilib repo so I can still upgrade everything else?
Or should I just wait and upgrade everything when there's no more mismatch?

Thanks!

ETA: Packages are now updated.

I'm getting the same message. I'm not sure of what I should do.

Re: [Solved] installing libaio (0.3.111-1) breaks dependency

I do not have testing either but doing this worked for me
sudo pacman -Sd libaio
result was that it actually installed libaio-0.3.111-1.

Then used
pacman -Syu
.... had to delete  /usr/lib/libmozjs-52.so.0 (complaining already installed)

try again and everything looks inline.

Hope it helps

Seemed to work for me, although it now complains about "missing 'libaio=0.3.110' dependency for 'lib32-libaio'".

The issue is that lib32-libaio package is not yet updated to version 0.3.111 (right now it's version 0.3.110-1 and has dependency to libaio=0.3.110).
Until it's upgraded, the best solution is to skip upgrading libaio:

pacman -Syu --ignore libaio

Re: [Solved] installing libaio (0.3.111-1) breaks dependency

The issue is that lib32-libaio package is not yet updated to version 0.3.111 (right now it's version 0.3.110-1 and has dependency to libaio=0.3.110).

Exactly!

So, for now, ignoring it is fine then.
I still know little and highly likely not there yet, but on a side note, how does one determine if a package can safely be ignored or not?

Thanks!

It should be fixed now in the official repo. Please try to update the system.

@anatolik

Yes, it is, thank you.
I can't yet though. My mirrors aren't synced yet. I think it will be there by evening and I'll update then.
