[SOLVED] cannot resolve a dependency of "hyprpaper"

I just tried to do casual system update and I got this error

warning: cannot resolve "libhyprtoolkit.so=4-64", a dependency of "hyprpaper"

To fix this I tried to remove hyprland and hyprpaper like this

$ sudo pacman -Rns hyprland hyprpaper

Then I successfully reinstalled the composer and also tried to reinstall hyprpaper with no luck

$ sudo pacman -S hyprpaper
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libhyprtoolkit.so=4-64", a dependency of "hyprpaper"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      hyprpaper

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] N
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'libhyprtoolkit.so=4-64' required by hyprpaper

any ideas how to fix this?

current extra/hyprtoolkit version is 0.5.0 and the hyprpaper package wants 4.64. Looks like packaging mistake

I got around it by putting hyprpaper and hyprgraphics in my 'IgnorePkg = ' line in pacman.conf

It threw a bunch of errors, as hyprgraphics is required by every hypr package (which won't update), but it will let you update everything else.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot resolve a dependency of "hyprpaper"

the hyprpaper package was just updated again to bump the version and it works fine now
