[solved] unable to update gajim

Upgrading gajim gives me:

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: autofs: ignoring package upgrade (5.1.4-3 => 5.1.7-1)

looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing gajim (1.3.1-1) breaks dependency 'gajim<=1.2.90' required by gajim-plugin-omemo
error installing repo packages

Ignoring Gajim to install the omemo plugin first gives me:

:: 1 Packages to upgrade.

==> Packages to exclude: (eg: "1 2 3", "1-3", "^4" or repo name)

Looks like a chicken-and-egg problem to me.

Re: [solved] unable to update gajim

How about uninstalling gajim-plugin-omemo first, update gajim, and reinstall the plugin? The plugin just probably needs to be rebuilt against the new gajim.
This is purely speculative from my part. I don't use gajim but this is how I would try to do it if I encounter the issue.
