[SOLVED] Cannot resolve multiple dependencies of "mpv"

Hi,

I've been having this issue for over a month. I try to update each week hoping it might be resolved, but I'm starting to wonder if it's just me.

sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for username:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 149.9 KiB 280 KiB/s 00:01 [############################################] 100%
extra 1950.4 KiB 593 KiB/s 00:03 [############################################] 100%

warning: cannot resolve "libxkbcommon.so=0-32", a dependency of "mpv"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
mpv

Is anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

Here's my version of mpv:

pacman -Qo $(which mpv)
/usr/bin/mpv is owned by mpv 1:0.32.0-4.1

mpv -V
mpv 0.32.0 Copyright © 2000-2020 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects
built on UNKNOWN
ffmpeg library versions:
libavutil 56.51.100

libswscale 5.7.100
libavfilter 7.85.100
libswresample 3.7.100
ffmpeg version: n4.3.1

Any suggestions for how to resolve this?

Which architecture are you using? Are you using the testing repos?

On my pentium4 system with testing repos, those .so's are provided by libplacebo 2.72.2-1.0 and libxkbcommon 1.0.3-1.0. Those packages are both in the testing repos for pentium4 according to the web interface. That libxkbcommon version is also in the testing repos for i686, but it looks like that libplacebo version is only in pentium4/testing. I don't know enough to say why that would be though.

You're likely to have troubles like this if you enable the community-testing repo but not the main testing repo (which covers projects in core and extra I think). The versions of packages you are looking for are in the testing repo. Either deselect the community-testing repo or add the testing repo, it's up to you but this half-way-house isn't supported. If you deselect the community-testing repo you'll need to reinstall your package base at the very least, it's probably simpler to add the testing repo and then just do an upgrade. But you'll be supported here in any efforts you put towards getting your install back to a supported state.

Thanks jetfrog28 & levi, you guys were spot on. I had enabled community-testing but not the main testing repo. Once I added this to my /etc/pacman.conf I was able to upgrade the mpv dependencies and everything is working well.

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
