[SOLVED] mpd dependency issues.

~ ❯ sudo pacman -Syu 
:: Synchronizing package databases... 
 core is up to date 
 extra is up to date 
 community is up to date 
:: Starting full system upgrade...  
resolving dependencies... 
warning: cannot resolve "libao.so=4-32", a dependency of "mpd" 
warning: cannot resolve "libexpat.so=1-32", a dependency of "mpd" 
warning: cannot resolve "libupnp.so=17-32", a dependency of "mpd" 
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: 
      mpd 
:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] 
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) 
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'libao.so=4-32' required by mpd 
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'libexpat.so=1-32' required by mpd 
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'libupnp.so=17-32' required by mpd 

Does anyone else have the same problem?
I'm guessing mpd was pushed for the update while those dependencies weren't? Looking under packages, I can see that all of the above packages, i.e,

 mpd, expat, libao, libupnp 

have various package rels in either testing, staging or build-list. I guess, wait for those to come to stable seems the way to go. Afaik, nothing on my system is doing this. It is a fair bit of a mess, what with the icu68 upgrade and python3.9 upgrade, but I can't see either of them overlapping with mpd. Mpd did spit out an error when icu was upgraded , and wouldn't start, but installing icu67 got that sorted, so that isn't interfering here now.

Re: [SOLVED] mpd dependency issues.

I see, that libao, expat and libupnp from [testing] should work. I move(d) them from testing to core/extra.

Cool! That did it.
