Seems I missed to add the Error message: Dependency resolution failed: libcanberra=0.30+2+gc0620e4-3

Please post the full pacman output when trying to upgrade.

Hi Antonio,

the issue is not with pacman, rather packagekit/alpm combo from back then in March 2021. We produced a factory image for the Pinephone which hold Plasma 5.21.2 and older packagekit. Attached you may find the pacman output which updates just fine. However the user should be able to update also with Discover, which was reported by Distrowatch last review: https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20211220#pinephone. Hence I provide a solution which solved the problem on our end: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/community/pinephone/pinephone-manjaro-tweaks/-/commit/90352f1c8479e146001b6f273b0e8392f31b55b1

As I see it: if at least conflicts is not given Discover via packagekit/alpm is not able to update and fails with: Dependency resolution failed: libcanberra=0.30+2+gc0620e4-3

So I suggest to add those two lines, which don't hurt, so users, which may have similar issues of outdated systems can also update graphically.

OK, seems I'm on to something. Looking closer at packagekit and replaces function of alpm-update, it seems it only looks for the package name [1]. Here we have however also a version integrated: replaces=("libcanberra-pulse<0.30+2+gc0620e4-4")

Maybe the following PRs might improve this:

The second one looks exactly like it
