Pipewire-jack and Jack2 Conflict

When running update command in terminal I get the following:

: pipewire-jack and jack2 are in conflict (jack). Remove jack2? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: pipewire-jack and jack2 are in conflict

Then when I run using yes instead of no I get a different message:

:: pipewire-jack and jack2 are in conflict (jack). Remove jack2? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing jack2 breaks dependency 'jack2=1.9.20' required by lib32-jack2

Which one should I remove?

I don't have an answer, just a bump, I am having this exact issue, I've tried several things, with no success, including restoring from a timeshaft backup, with no luck.

The 32-bit library is the issue. Replace both explicitly and it will be able to proceed:

sudo pacman -Syu pipewire-jack lib32-pipewire-jack
11 Likes

Got it removed and issue seems solved, although when I removed lib32 it also removed a ton of wine dependencies it seems. Will see what happens...

pipewire-jack and jack2 are in conflict but can’t remove any of them because they can break my whole system

I've tried that since I also am getting the "- jack2 and pipewire-jack are in conflict" error message when trying to update my system. However when I run that command the "sudo pacman -Syu pipewire-jack lib32-pipewire-jack" I get this error message

Any ideas on what to do to fix this issue?

Just installed Garuda and getting exact same message. The previous command gave me the same error.

I went and uninstalled that directly from pacman, have you tried it that way?

@Austin don't mind but there is still problem :disappointed_relieved:

@Deabound doesn't it removed your other packages? :confused:

It removed a bunch of wine packages but I didnt really care for them lol. I havent tested out what wine related issues if any it has caused yet.

well @Deabound you may have courage to do this :sweat_smile: but I don't want to take the risk because there are many things going on in my laptop that is important for me
but if you will get any problem then please tell me also

If I remove one thing, I have to remove a whole bunch of other things. Why did i have to install 1735 packages?

For me, if I removed Pipewire-Jack, it also wanted to remove Pipewire-support. I elected to just remove Pipewire-Support and all its dependencies and it worked.

Oh sorry, I missed one step to copy from the terminal:

first do: sudo pacman -S lib32-pipewire-jack
then: sudo pacman -S pipewire-jack

Hello.

i read your instructions but cannot comply.

there is no text output! i only get a error prompt from Discover, how do i get the text you want? I'm new to arch that's why i used discover to update, not console, because I'm not yet familiar with arch commands.

sorry but here is the image:

Before you open a new help request, read relevant sections of the Arch and Garuda wiki.
Thoroughly search your issue and any error messages in the forum and on the web.

Report everything you have already attempted to solve your problem.

Thanks , It worked ! :smiley:
