Hyprland: Unable to update because installing spdlog breaks dependency

It looks like a few folks have run into this issue, check out the comments from the past few days on the package: AUR (en) - waybar-hyprland-git

You could try your luck with some of the suggestions in the comments. This one looks promising:

There is a workaround for the build issue provided by mrp4sten GitHub user in this comment:

paru -Rns waybar-hyprland-git
paru -S spdlog-git
paru -S waybar-hyprland-git

It worked for me.

A complicating factor is this relationship:

It may be needed to remove both in the first step (sudo pacman -Rns waybar-hyprland-git garuda-hyprland-settings), then reinstall them both again in the last step (sudo pacman -S waybar-hyprland-git garuda-hyprland-settings).
