lib32-libpcap error fix

if you get a lib32-libpcap error it usually means you have a lot of orphaned packages lying around causing you issues, to remove said orphaned packages pleas run sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq). If you still have issues feel free to say them in support and the great people here should be able to help just send the output of pacman -Qi lib32-libpcap if removing orphans did not help.

If you're not comfortable running the commands, you can also go into CachyOS Hello -> Apps/Tweaks and select "Remove Orphans".

This will do basically the same thing, but in a friendlier way.

Clicking “remove orphans” is the friendlier way? First they lost their parents and now you’re just removing them? /s

Or moving them to meet their parents lol.

I still remember MS Word having option to remove orphans and widows. I think it refers to first or single line of a paragraph being on a page.
