libreoffice-extension-texmaths depends on libreoffice-fresh, breaking -still.

I now wanted to do a pacman -Syu.

O have libreoffice-still installed. Something seems to want to pull in libreoffice-fresh instead, which (obviously) would lead to a conflict:
Code: [Select]
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)

This hints that universe/libreoffice-extension-texmaths now depends on libreoffice-fresh, breaking libreoffice-still installations.

Is this an error, or does universe/libreoffice-extension-texmaths really explicitly need libreoffice-fresh? (And if so, can that not be achieved by a versioned dependency on libreoffice?)

Arch Linux' community/libreoffice-extension-texmaths 0.51-1 (same version string as Artix' universe/libreoffice-extension-texmaths 0.51-1) depends only on libreoffice, not libreoffice-fresh specifically.

Regards!

Before I just updated pacman's databases libreoffice-extension-texmaths was in both galaxy and universe. At different versions. Both of which depended on libreoffice.

After a database update it's just in universe, at a newer version and depends on libreoffice-fresh ( I don't know if that's intentional or a bug ?)

Anecdotally it seems to me that libreoffice-fresh is more stable on Artix than libreoffice-still as I've had not one problem with libreoffice-fresh during this recent period of problems I've read about. And I do use it pretty much daily.

IMHO this whole universe and omniverse repo malarkey needs a rethink. It seems to cause a lot of problems. Maybe more than they solve? Certainly (imho) universe.
archlinux-keyring, archlinux-mirrorlist and artix-archlinux-support should be in their own repo.
Only packages which are from the AUR, or custom PKGBUILD's, should be in these repo's at all. Not packages from community. Either add them to galaxy or don't.
I could well be wrong (It happens a lot). And if it stays as it is I'll lose no sleep. But I don't believe it's a great setup.

Just without any notice and without a version or $pkgrel increase (! -- if something changes how packages are packed, without a version change, $pkgrel needs to be updated, which did not happen here. This is at least what is the rule for Arch, is it not the rule for Artix? So maybe you need to re-upload with incremented $pkgrel to follow the requirements?) now universe/libreoffice-extension-texmaths depends on general libreoffice, solving this issue.
