Libwlroots.so.11 failed to commit transaction

zak · 22 November 2023 21:17

This is owned by wlroots. I tried refreshing the mirrors, and got the same issue. I have seen similar “failed to commit transaction” posts, but am unsure which to follow. Just installed this to a new machine, but for some reason, I cannot do a simple system update because of this one package. This is my first time using an Arch distro, and I have no idea what I’m doing.

I’m not a qtile user but I see that wlroots has been updated so to include libwlroots.so.12.
In the meanwhile I see that qtile now depends on wlroots0.16, which will replace wlroots and still use so.11.

So, I’d try to manually reinstall qtile before updating again.

sudo pacman -S qtile

Then again

garuda-update

zak · 22 November 2023 22:38

I tried

sudo pacman -S qtile

but all I get is

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
wlroots0.16: /usr/lib/libwlroots.so.11 exists in filesystem (owned by wlroots)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Very similar to my original error, only now with wlroots0.16

im having same issue but with gamescope conflicting, just going to wait

:

This could be fixed/forced with

sudo pacman -S wlroots0.16 --overwrite '*'

But I guess something will be fixed shortly in those packages.

zak · 22 November 2023 23:26

I forced the overwrite, then did

garuda-update

and it has stopped complaining about it being owned by wlroots. Not sure if it broke anything else, but the system update was successful. Much obliged!
