Garuda-update lib32-alsa-lib

[rg57]

I’m Trying trying to update Garuda Linux -Mokka edition, using the update or garuda-update command. It has been failing for a few weeks now, with the following error:

looking for conflicting packages…
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing alsa-lib (1.2.15.3-2) breaks dependency ‘alsa-lib=1.2.15.1’ required by lib32-alsa-lib

I do not remember installing any lib32 programs.

How could I proceed?

Works fine here

Sometimes it’s okay to wait a day or two before to try updating again, but after weeks it becomes difficult to find the cause.
Perhaps uninstalling and then reinstalling lib32-alsa-lib will help.

Please always provide your garuda-inxi, as required by the topic template.
And, in situations like this, always include the complete terminal text input and output.
The root cause of the problem may lie in the two pieces of information above.
In recent cases, just for example, the multilib repository was no longer present, and garuda-inxi already proposed the fix
