Arch Linux

Description:

The jsoncpp update causes problems with other packages. I'm not sure if this issue lies with jsoncpp or with those packages, but system updates break.

Here's the output I get when my system wants to update jsoncpp:

[…]
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing jsoncpp (1.9.5-1) breaks dependency 'libjsoncpp.so=24-64' required by libopenshot
error: no targets specified (use -h for help)

After removing libopenshot with all of its dependencies (pacman -Rcns libopenshot) I can install the update of jsoncpp. But I cannot reinstall openshot with its dependency libopenshot afterwards. Here's the output:

# pacman -S openshot
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libjsoncpp.so=24-64", a dependency of "libopenshot"
warning: cannot resolve "libopenshot", a dependency of "openshot"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
openshot

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]

The same happens with e.g. cmake:

# pacman -S cmake
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libjsoncpp.so=24-64", a dependency of "cmake"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
cmake

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]


Additional info:
* package version(s)
jsoncpp 1.9.5-1
libopenshot 0.2.7-4
cmake 3.22.1-2
(and possibly many others)

* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

Try to pacman -Syu and (if nothing happens) try to install libopenshot or cmake afterwards.
