[SOLVED] ncurses dependencies broken

No idea why this is happening

$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing ncurses (6.4_20230520-1) breaks dependency 'ncurses=6.4' required by lib32-ncurses

lib32-ncurses is required by lib32-mesa & lib32-vulkan-radeon. Not sure where to go next with this. Any ideas?

https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib … 2-ncurses/

ncurses=6.4_20230520

post:
pacman -Qi lib32-ncurses
pacman -Qi ncurses
EDIT: check your pacman config for the ignorepkg line

You cannot disable multilib while still having packages installed from it.

Re: [SOLVED] ncurses dependencies broken

You have commented out multilib in your pacman.conf, but you have multilib packages installed, you're effectively trying to do a partial upgrade which is not supported.

thanks all, I must have made a mistake while upgrading to the new pacman conf a few weeks back
