Description:


Seems like an old version of linux was left as a hard dependency by mistake. On upgrade, I get bbswitch needs linux < 4.7

:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: bbswitch: requires linux<4.7

Indeed, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/bbswitch/ shows that it both needs linux >= 4.6 and linux >= 4.7, with a virtual dep on linux < 4.7.
Seems like the old linux version did not get removed from the pkgbuild by accident.


Steps to reproduce:

sudo pacman -Syu with bbswitch installed.
This task depends upon

Damn, forgot the title and I can't edit it apparently. It basically needs quick pkgbuild edit + rebuild I'd say.
