gpgmepp-2.0.0-2 and gpgme-1.24.3-2 are in conflict. update failed.

Hi! I hope that you are doing well!
I tried to update my system like everyday and I got hit with this error-

[ak@G31M-ES2L ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for ak:

:: gpgmepp-2.0.0-2 and gpgme-1.24.3-2 are in conflict (gpgme<2)

As you can see, neither of the options results in a successful update, so I think this is a packaging error? If yes, I hope that it will get fixed soon!
Thanks.

What is the output of `pacman-conf`?

I think I need to be more patient from now on, the packaging issue got fixed as gpgme got updated.
so, the issue is fixed.

Re: gpgmepp-2.0.0-2 and gpgme-1.24.3-2 are in conflict. update failed.

There is another problem with gpgmepp package : a previous version of gpgmepp existed in 2016, with the version "16.08.3-1",

[2016-11-11 20:59] [ALPM] upgraded gpgmepp (16.08.2-1 -> 16.08.3-1)

The PKGBUILD of current version of gpgmepp (2.0.0-2) doesn't manage this scenario of a gpgmepp installed with "16" version number, then Pacman will not propose this version "2" of the package, as he thinks that version 16 is greater than "2", some softwares like libreoffice, okular will not work (because they need the version 2 of gpgmepp).

Probably the version 16 of gpgmepp was an orphan package after 2016 (no new update until june 2025 with a decreased number version).
