[solved] system/libcap breaks lib32/lib32-libcap dependency (wrong versions).

lib32/lib32-libcap depends on libcap=2.66, but system/libcap is at version 2.67.

A recent pacman -Syu thus fails with
Code: [Select]
installing libcap (2.67-1) breaks dependency 'libcap=2.66' required by lib32-libcap
.

Regards!

Same here. A simple workaround is doing this:
Code: [Select]
pacman -Syu --ignore libcap
but I would like to know how to actually update this package.

right solution
wait for new version of ```lib32-libcap```

wrong solution
get it from ```lib32-germlins``` or ```multilib``` repo
* don't do this, just wait

Right solution would be to keep Artix repos consistent.

No. That's a workaround, too, because it might break other packages that depend on the newer, already available, libpcap.

Right solution would be to make the Artix repos update packages only if all packages within the same dependency graph are updated at the same time. 
i.e. to keep the Artix repos consistent.

2.67 is rolled out, wait for your mirror to sync. FWIW, it's the exact same package from [lib32-gremlins], so if you're in a hurry you can temporarily enable that repo and install it with pacman -Sy lib32-gremlins/lib32-libcap.
