This was opened briefly as an issue at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76882
Looking for recommendations as I have some legacy software that's dependent on lib32-python2 which is an AUR package so I'm not sure if it warrants requesting a re-open on the issue.
I currently cannot update my system due to the recent change to libdb 6.x
pacman -Syu

:: installing db (6.2.32-1) breaks dependency 'db=5.3.28' required by lib32-db
Solved: lib32-db has been added to the AUR. Thanks for the help!

Nothing in your error output mentions lib32-python2, though if there are issues with that package, you'd need to take it up with the AUR maintainer. You cannot re-open a bug for a repo package that no longer exists.
But for the actual error, what is lib32-db? That's neither a repo nor AUR package. I suspect just updating / rebuilding that might be sufficient.

Thank you -
The only real reason I know of the dependency is because I tried to remove the package:
pacman -Rs lib32-db
checking dependencies...

lib32-db is, or was just the 32-bit version of the db package:
pacman -Ss "^db$"
core/db 6.2.32-1 [installed: 5.3.28-5]
The Berkeley DB embedded database system
There is now a db5.3 in the core repo, but it seems it was decided to simply remove the multilib version.

lib32-db was in repos until a few days ago, you can retrieve the latest version through asp export lib32-db .

You should be using lib32-jack2 or lib32-pipewire-jack, not lib32-jack.
