Can't install some software with pacman anymore - 3v22dilio - 09-20-2024

I'm trying to reinstall some stuff after distro hopping and when I try to install firefox, I get the following error.

Code:
sudo pacman -S firefox

resolving dependencies...

warning: cannot resolve "tracker3", a dependency of "gtk3"

warning: cannot resolve "gtk3", a dependency of "firefox"

:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:

      firefox

:: 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 'tracker3' required by gtk3

:: unable to satisfy dependency 'gtk3' required by firefox

I wasn't getting this error before I tried disro-hopped, and I don't know why I'm getting it now. I checked out http://fl.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/extra/ to see what was there and while there is a tracker package, it isn't called "tracker3" or even looks like it is versioned that high. A lot of posts I've found when googling suggest tricking pacman into thinking it is installed (I think, I may be misunderstanding), but doesn't explain why this is happening now. I lso don't see any posts about arch in general getting this problem. I've also tried a full sudo pacman -Syyu with a reboot, and still have the same issue.

Is there something I could do to address this or do I just wait for it to sort itself out?

I do have "tracker3" installed in my pinetab2, just checked.
Maybe this is dumb but, have you tried to install it from pacman directly, i mean without having it go through dependencies, maybe it was deleted previously.

If you don't see it maybe you need to refresh your keys, see this post:

Hope this helps.

Tracker3 was replaced with tinysparql

I suggest you refresh you databases and do a whole system update

Code:
sudo pacman -Syu
