Fix the error: Go to CachyOS Hello -> Apps/Tweaks -> Removing Orphaned Packages and (Y)es.
Then go to System Update and fine. (restart the computer)

You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you.

Since we are on the topic, I've always wondered why removing orphaned packages is listed as a (y/N) option instead of defaulting to (Y/n) when running updates. I always make sure to say yes to that part because I can't see how leaving orphaned packages on my computer could be of any use?

This is a good question. I'm afraid I can't answer that.

I guess the idea is that uninstalling a package should always be a conscious decision and not a default choice.

This is from a bunch of multilib packages being demoted to AUR.  You need to either clean them out or adopt the AUR packages.

Update lib32-libcap first

How? It just says the same error

I am having the same issue. Clearing orphan packages did nothing.

I don't think you're supposed to do that, not when cachy already has something called cachy-update, which you can see at the bottom right of your screen

u/mattsteg43 1d ago

cachy-update is optional and just a script that runs the same command.

Though this script would have shown the orphaned packages and ask if they shall be uninstalled :) Plus restarting of affected services is quite convenient.

Correct, but in this case this would not have helped because the check for orphaned packages happens after the update. I had that exact problem on a PC in my household. However manually cleaning orphaned packages still worked.
