[solved] wireplumber not providing pipewire-session-manager

As stated in pipewire 1:0.3.47-2.0 broken? by alf9009, wireplumber is likely to become the default session manager for Pipewire. However, the Arch Linux 32 PKGBUILD of wireplumber compared to that of Arch Linux itself seems to be missing

provides=('pipewire-session-manager')

resulting in failure to replace pipewire-media-session with wireplumber.

Re: [solved] wireplumber not providing pipewire-session-manager

I have to apologize, this was clearly a mistake on my side. It's not pipewire-media-session but pipewire-session-manager which is supposed to be provided by Wireplumber (which it of course is).

I must have gotten confused when replacing pipewire-session-manager with wireplumber, which requires forced removal using pacman -Rdd in order to work (which of course, I hadn't immediately figured out after working on Debain based machines at work for several days...)

Marked as solved...
