What is opencolorio?

[dklrd-sirina]

I am having some issues updating via packman, I get the following error

It looks like a dependency (for blender? is it installed?).
Blender needs older version (1) and recently there was some change for compatibility.
Check which program needs opencolorio and if you need it.
I assume the proper way to update (safely) is to answer Yes for removal of opencolorio(2), since the older version will then be installed (opencolorio1).

Thanks for that!

I just did a Timeshift backup and decided to remove it
