Dependecy error

I was trying to update and got this error.

installing mutter (48.0-3) breaks dependency ‘libmutter-15.so=0-64’ required by gnome-shell-performance

here’s the garuda-inxi output

That’s all? Really? What do you expect from us if you don’t even come close to mentioning the error message or the name of the corresponding package?
In this case, the answer is quite simple: fix the dependency error.

btw:

Fix this first…

The only information you’re revealing is an independence issue [SOLVED] Resolving dependencies (in arch) / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums

EFI: American Megatrends v: X512FL.309

Is partially upgraded: Yes

Maybe you should take care of that too.

nepti was faster :grinning:

Idk what’s happening in the plasma 6.3 that I’ve to copy twice otherwise it won’t copy anything so the error message didn’t get pasted, but I added it.

Maybe the Garuda ate them? :laughing:

Joking aside, please try sending the error message again.

You’re using the AUR package:

You will be responsibile for updating your system and this package simultaneously yourself.

I would recommend switching back to the archlinux official package instead of relying on an AUR package if you do not know how to manage these dependency issues yourself.

Remove gnome-shell-performance and, if installed, mutter-dynamic-buffering (both packages require libmutter-15.so=0-64).
After that you can update mutter (provides libmutter-16.so=0-64), and if you need it, install gnome-shell.
