I'm trying to reinstall some stuff after distro hopping and when I try to install firefox, I get the following error.
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?
Code:
sudo pacman -S firefox
