Pacman Update Issue [SOLVED]

I have an interesting situation happen today as I run my pacman updates.
This is the gest of the issue:

1. pacman -Syu
: Synchronizing 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...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing kcoreaddons5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kcoreaddons' required by libmediawiki

2. find / -name libmediawiki* 2>/dev/null

/var/lib/pacman/local/libmediawiki-5.37.0-7

3. pacman -Qo /var/lib/pacman/local/libmediawiki-5.37.0-7

error: No package owns /var/lib/pacman/local/libmediawiki-5.3

4. pacman -Run kcoreaddons

error: target not found: kcoreaddons

I'm not sure what's going on.
Any ideas, thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: Pacman Update Issue [SOLVED]

I just tried to run a system update and ran into a similar issue that seems to be related to the recent mass renaming of KDE packages with the number 5 added at the end of the package names.

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core                                                                                                             129.1 KiB   679 KiB/s 00:00 [#######################################################################################] 100%

Re: Pacman Update Issue [SOLVED]

libkipi and libmediawiki are deprecated and no longer needed according to this AUR comment.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libk … ent-939450

The package is not in the official repo. Removing libkipi got rid of the error for me.
