don’t do what I did:
sudo pacman -Rdd dbus (because dbus-broker doesn’t have package conflicts set)
sudo pacman -S dbus-broker dbus-broker-units
This will not work (even less so if you don’t bother to boot from a recovery drive). dbus broker seems very much beta and some packages with compiled-in library dependencies might completely fail altogether. I’m not sure how they’re gonna make this new dbus daemon work at all considering that this will most likely break a lot of unmaintained packages and requires new releases of active packages, but we’ll see…
I ended up having to restore a snapshot because I could no longer log in, and snapper snapshots were no longer taken (which is a plus I guess)
Edit: garuda-update installs this properly. I’m a total buffoon
