Error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Hey guys, so the below error is happening when I run the update command. I tried installing ffmpeg4.4 which installed but Garuda now warns of a partial update.

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing x264 (3:0.164.r3081.19856cc-1) breaks dependency 'libx264.so=163-64' required by ffmpeg4.4

This happened after running the below command in order to update some extra packages

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

Seems to be a known, still open, issue

Oh I see thank you. I did spend a whole Googling this but I guess I don't know the best places to look as I was finding old reports on Ubuntu forums haha. Couldn't work out and solutions though. I assume this means I didn't do anything wrong necessarily and I just have to wait for an update in the repos to fix this? Thanks for the clarification

If you compulsively have to use a developer version, this may happen.

Just felt like seeing if the command worked tbh and what would happen. Not gonna do that again probably though

Temporal solution until Arch Linux repo doesn’t solve that issue.

looking for conflicting packages…

So type this for ignore ffmpeg.

sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=ffmpeg
