I did a full update on 17 Nov. Somewhere I installed audio-recorder and now will not allow me to update. See process below:

: Synchronizing package databases...
garuda downloading...
core downloading...
extra downloading...
multilib downloading...
chaotic-aur downloading...
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace appstream-qt with extra/appstream-qt5? [Y/n] y
:: Replace libkdcraw with extra/libkdcraw5? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing appstream-qt breaks dependency 'appstream-qt' required by apper

I tried updating from console and Garuda system maintenance notification.
I have uninstalled audio-recorder, rebooted my system and tried both updates again with the same results.
Please advise. Thanks

This package seems to have been removed from the Arch repo, and also the -git version in the AUR is broken. See:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=apper-git&id=b8056bad9ffa140b91b4c1bec7e6fd7758b02bb0
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/apper-git
I’d remove it and repeat the update.

The package I installed was: https://aur.archlinux.org/audio-recorder.git
Which I have uninstalled but no change when I try to update. I still get the same error.

Try

sudo pacman -R apper

Then again

garuda-update
