installing llvm-libs (20.1.6-3) breaks dependency 'llvm-libs=19.1.7' required by mesa-git
How to resolve that?, I cannot re-install llvm-libs or remove it because it throws more errors, trying to remove mesa-git also throws errors and trying to re-install Mesa-git does nothing it just sits there stuck.
Also tried a full package re-install and it threw the same error…
Are you updating also the AUR packages, i.e.
garuda-update -a
?
And please always provide your garuda-inxi as required by the topic template.
Edit:
Most likely a packaging issue:
They’ll have to fix it.
Do not use the git version

Here is my error message when trying to run an upgrade in pacman: installing llvm-libs (20.1.6-3) breaks dependency ‘llvm-libs=19.1.7’ required by mesa-git
I updated mesa-git in a clean root on June 15. So that error showed up right after.
llvm and llvm-libs has been updated to 20.1.6-3 in stable repo.
And the PKGBUILD require update to build.
I resolved it, I did sudo pacman -Rd --nodeps llvm-libs to force uninstall it and then it let me update. (restarting system to see if it broke anything..)
Did that actually fix it? I have been getting the same error for a long time and just been updating with pacman directly (I know, not recommended) with pacman -Syu --ignore=llvm-libs. Getting fed up with having to do that and wanting to do things “the right way” with garuda-update I recently uninstalled mesa-git and re-installed mesa… well that was a complete crap shoot. My system just went to a black screen after boot. Eventually had to restore from a snapshot and just not apply any updates. I’ve never had this much trouble with another OS applying updates; far too often I have to restore from a snapshot (which I’m glad is an option, at least). The price to pay for staying “bleeding edge” I guess?
Anyway, would love to have this fixes as well. Happy to switch to mesa from mesa-git if it would actually work… garuda-inxi below.

Try switching from mesa-git to mesa, but then downgrade linux-firmware-amdgpu back to 20250613.12fe085f-5.
sudo downgrade linux-firmware-amdgpu
Here is a related discussion: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED] / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums
By the way, you can pass Pacman flags to garuda-update, just add -- like this:
garuda-update -- --ignore=llvm-libs
To my knowledge, they re-backported the fixes for AMD in the latest linux-firmware versions, so should be all good to update to the latest.
