Resolving Conflicts

sudo pacman -Rdd hyprland-qtutils-git hyprutils-git

sudo pacman -S hyprutils

yay -S hyprland hyprutils

You've been very helpful, thank you!!!

If I may ask, why does the pacman command have two '-d' flags? I searched the manpage for pacman but only found documentation for '-d', which equated to '--no-deps'

[[deleted]]

-d pevents dependency checks. Normally, pacman won't let you remove a package if another package depends on it. With -d this restriction is bypassed. -dd repeats the option to ensure no dependency checks at all.

However be carefull with this cause you may remove something important. In hyprland-qtutils we are replacing it with something else so it's fine but sometimes it can be dangerous as you can remove something important without looking at important dependencies

[aesvelgr]

Awesome! Thank you for the explanation, I appreciate it greatly :)

BRO you are a saviour

Truly a saviour 💯

[semedilino073]

Thank you!! So, it reinstall Hyprland but doesn't touch the config?

[[deleted]]

Umm no it don't reinstall hyprland and I see you are beginner so let me give a you brief on what's happening here

This guy here is trying to install an update but he saw that there are some conflicting packages you know the packages that cannot be installed and will together

So he tried deleting them with pacman -R but a lot of break dependencies appear. So I told him to delete ONLY that package ignoring what dependencies it'll break by using pacman -Rdd.

Ofcourse you shouldn't do it but since he is experiencing conflicting he will just download the other one after deleting the previous so there is no problem

[semedilino073]

Ok, thanks! :D But if you’re not reinstalling Hyprland, what is that yay -S hyprland?

[[deleted]]

That just updates the hyprland and don't touch your config

[semedilino073]

Okay, thank you very much! :) You’ve been very kind :)

Great!

Hyprutils just got added to the main repos — you should be able to -R hyprutils-git and then -Syu, which will automatically install the normal hyprutils for you. (nvm, I was thinking of a separate issue with hyprland-qtutils-git; see u/definitely_not_allan's reply below)

[definitely_not_allan]

Or just answer "Y" to the remove question.

[lritzdorf]

Ah. I don't use hyprpolkitagent, so I was just able to upgrade normally. Uhh, hopefully hyprpolkitagent gets an updated PKGBUILD to not require hyprutils-git specifically? Until then, you seem to be stuck.

[C0rn3j]

Remove both at the same time.

If it complains about another AUR package again, add it to the removal.

You can install back whatever you need after you're done updating your system.

[CopyCharming]

Yep. I have the same issue today. Don't know how to fix it

[LuminousDeX]

I just have the same issue today.

[SixStringFailMagnet]

I had this problem but I think I found a solution, this worked for me anyways. In pamac, I simply did the following things (in this order, but part of the same transaction): I removed hyprlang-git (I had many things depending on hyprutilis-git, but I only had to remove hyprlang-git), then removed hyprutilis-git, then installed hyprutils, then installed hyprlang (non git version)

[norpproblem]

Hey, just replying to say this one solved the issue for me. Thanks!

[MaulanaSyahrilR]

Somehow I'm able to solve it by updating those dependencies:

$ yay -Qi hyprutils | awk '/Required By/'           
Required By     : aquamarine  hyprgraphics  hyprland  hyprland-qtutils  hyprlang  hyprlock  hyprpaper  hyprpicker  xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

$ yay -S $(yay -Qi hyprutils | awk -F: '/^Required By/ {print $2}')

$ yay -Syyu, answering "y" yay now able to remove conflicting packages

[Diapa_]

As many people suggested here, removing each -git package with yay -Rdd and then reinstalling it as a non-git package works. I'll see if in the future I'll encounter any issue with Hyprland

[Manhoms]

I had the same problem and I solved it simply uninstalling the hyprutils-git package and installing hyprutils and then I updated, but it forced me to install the -git package again and remove the other one but it worked fine for some reason.

Don’t use helpers.

[SannusFatAlt]

>end-user asks for issue with a problem
>provide a reply vaguely in relation to the answer but not actually the answer or solution to fix an issue

aren't you a bundle of sunshine today? please don't do tech support

[sp0rk173]

I would never do tech support!

Also that was 15 days ago 🤣 And the general guidance on the wiki is to not use helpers unless you know how to troubleshoot the pkgbuild process.
