Installing pacman (7.1.0.r7.gb9f7d4a-1) breaks dependency 'libalpm.so=

Hi,

I'm getting the following error when trying to upgrade

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 lizardbyte is up to date
 lizardbyte-beta is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing pacman (7.1.0.r7.gb9f7d4a-1) breaks dependency 'libalpm.so=15' required by libpamac-full

I've tried to perform the commands in the Latest News post but when I:

pacman -Rs aspnet-runtime

I get:

checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing aspnet-runtime breaks dependency 'aspnet-runtime-9.0' required by jellyfin-server

Does this I mean I need to remove jellyfin-server to proceed with the upgrade?

This is my first upgrade where I've come across manual interventions, so want to avoid breaking anything

Would appreciate any help! thanks

Deal with the AUR package (libpamac-full) blocking the upgrade first.

Easiest way would be to remove it, upgrade your system, then rebuild and install it again if you still need it.

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues.
