[Solved] Error installing python-ipympl during system upgrade

While upgrading the system, no packages were updated due to the error posted at the end of this message.
I think it could be related to a confilct with matplotlib, since the upgrade asks for a change  for a replacement of jupyter-widgetsnbextension with extra/jupyterlab-widgets.

Could anyone help me with this?
Thanks a lot

The solution is probably in the wiki for pacman (Troubleshooting section).

Re: [Solved] Error installing python-ipympl during system upgrade

That's an AUR package.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-ipympl

How did you try and build/install it? How long since you rebuilt it?
If pacman -Syu is giving you that error, then uninstall the AUR package, update your machine, then look at the AUR package and see if it builds/installs.

If not then contact the AUR package maintainer.

Thanks a lot, philo, teckk,

Indeed, it was an AUR package that I installed. I uninstalled it, then I could upgrade the system and everything seems to work.

It's also a package in [extra]. This sort of thing shouldn't happen, but occasionally packages get added to the official repos without checking/cleaning up now-redundant AUR packages.

Ok ok. I see that now. I'm about 1 month from last update. pacman -Ss ipympl gave me nothing. So I looked in the AUR.
