Hi me again yet with another problem after updates but looking through some of the other forums just to name a few that I have visited as follows it seams to be the norm with most of the community saying the same thing from time to time things will break its just the natural order of things when having to deal with open source software which I guess always makes for a good challenge.
My problem today is last update broke dependencies fluidsynth and now my updates look like this

I ran it through octopi as per one of the forums suggested it would help with fixing the problem, Nope! As it can’t be installed I cannot remove it either
Edit Note:
Just a quick edit note here I was able to uninstall fluidsynth here it was removing just the updated fluidsynth 2.3.6-1 and its dependencies, so I just hit OK to remove the updating pkg as shown with the orange square.

The forums visited so far:-
This forum suggested to remove the file but in my case this is not possible as there are way to many important dependencies
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=281019
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=281968
I used Garuda assistance, clear cashes, clear packages, 4 packages removed, remove data base keys, remove orphans nothing removed here, reboot.
The links visited so far keep coming back to this one Archlinux no matter how old the link or forum
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/fluidsynth/
OK! If you need more info just ask.
