[SOLVED] pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio conflict

This is the output I get from

sudo pacman -Syu

:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: gradia: local (1.13.0-3) is newer than extra (1.13.0-1)
warning: zola: ignoring package upgrade (0.22.1-2 => 0.23.6-1)

error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: pipewire-pulse-1:1.6.10-1 and pulseaudio-17.0+r134+g77d25a1e6-1 are in conflict

I don't even have pulseaudio installed, nor does pacman tell me what package depends on pulseaudo if this is a dependency issue.

Re: [SOLVED] pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio conflict

Something getting pulled in as part of the update likely depends on it. Use the --debug flag to see what.

Mod note: moving to Pacman/Upgrade Issues.

I found the package it was pulseaudio-bluetooth and I removed it:

debug: checkdeps: missing dependency 'pulseaudio=17.0+r134+g77d25a1e6-1' for package 'pulseaudio-bluetooth'

Thanks for the help.
