I get an error when doing sudo pacman -Syu

When doing an upgrade using pacman, I get an error that says:

Looking for conflicting packages
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing ffmpeg (2:9.0.1-1) breaks dependency 'libavcodec.so =62-64' required by freerdp2
:: installing ffmpeg (2:9.0.1-1) breaks dependency 'libavutil.so =60-64' required by freerdp2
:: installing ffmpeg (2:9.0.1-1) breaks dependency 'libswresample.so =6-64' required by freerdp2
:: installing ffmpeg (2:9.0.1-1) breaks dependency 'libswscale.so =9-64' required by freerdp2
[vinetta@MSI-6400 ]

I looked on the page called news but couldn't find anything there.

Uninstall that AUR package and try again.

OK.

But, should I remove the package freerdp2, or the packages libcodec.so=64-64and the other three, or all of them?

Re: I get an error when doing sudo pacman -Syu

Those are not packages, but shared object files which are provided by the currently installed ffmpeg package on your system. The freerdp2 package you have installed depends on those specific versions of those shared objects, which is why installing the updated ffmpeg breaks the dependencies required by freerdp2.

Removing freerdp2 means nothing explicitly depends on those versions of those shared objects, and the upgrade should be able to proceed.
