Can't update system because of package conflict

As the title says since this morning when I try to update the system with paru -Syu there's an error that says

looking for conflicting packages...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: garuda-gnome-settings and sweet-gtk-theme-dark are in conflict

I really don't know if this is a mirrorlist problem or a system problem.

Yes I have the same problem here too. It looks like sweet-gtk-theme-dark conflicts with garuda-gnome-settings and wants to remove it when you try pacman -S sweet-gtk-theme-dark

No, sweet-gtk-theme-dark conflicts with sweet-theme-dark but that should be taken into account by the replaces relationship.

Is this package coming from the AUR or from the ChaoticAUR repo (i.e. can you try with just pacman rather than an AUR helper)?

For example, what’s the output of

paru -Ss sweet theme dark

?

Yep, I have been using pacman not an aur helper (although pamac & paru & yay also have the same problem). Here is what happens:

  1. Input:
    `sudo pacman -S sweet-theme-dark'

  2. Output:
    sweet-theme-dark and garuda-gnome-settings are in conflict. Remove garuda-gnome-settings? [y/N]

That's the original package name, not the new one.

Could you read my post again?

OK, both old and new packages are present in ChaoticAUR.

Next, output of pacman -Si garuda-gnome-settings ?

OK, I don't see what the problem is there. The packages should align.

Full output of pacman -S garuda-gnome-settings sweet-gtk-theme-dark (don't continue/press Enter/Y etc. yet)?

pacman -S garuda-gnome-settings sweet-gtk-theme-dark

Btw, there is no prompt for y/n. The command just terminates.

OK, there's a new package release (2.0-2) for the themes coming soon. Hang tight.

The new package release is in repo and garuda-gnome-settings has relevant conflicts removed as well so it should be fixed now. :eyes:
