Unresolvable dependency problem with new Wayfire install

Hi I’m having trouble finishing install of Garuda Wayfire. Specifically, I get unsolvable dependency conflicts when trying to perform the first full upgrade on the system. How do I resolve the conflict and have it not be an issue in the future? Below are the terminal output and garuda-inxi output.

: Synchronizing package databases...
 garuda is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 chaotic-aur is up to date

--> Refreshing mirrorlists using rate-mirrors, please be patient..🍵

won’t that uninstall the WM?

No. wayfire-desktop is just a meta package, so a collection of several packages inside as dependency (to install them all together), so you can get rid of it to solve this problem. Using -Rdd you will not remove the depending packages, so your WM.
We will replace kvantum-qt5 with kvantum in that meta-package, but removing it won’t hurt.
