I got this error when I run pacman -Syu this morning:
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing kio5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kio' required by kipi-plugins
:: installing kxmlgui5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kxmlgui' required by libkipi
:: installing kservice5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kservice' required by libkipi
:: installing kcoreaddons5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kcoreaddons' required by libmediawiki-git
I think it's not my fault. Should I wait or find a solution myself?

Remove the AUR package(s) and try again.
libkipi, kipi-plugins and libmediawiki-git are AUR packages.

huh, turns out these moved to aur ages ago, as apps like gwenview and spectacle stopped using these. So "older" KDE/Plasma installations might have these unnescessary packages still laying about.
Thanks for the heads up!

Removing orphaned dependencies every once in a while is a good idea. If these were installed as dependencies and are not dependencies anymore, this would get rid of them.

oh wow, my system had accumulated ~4GB worth of orphaned stuff.
And as a sidenote: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-log-orphans-hook - adds a pacman hook to notify the user if there are orphaned packages after an update.

Wow, 2GB for me. Good tip!

It worked, thank you.

Alternatively, reinstall them and fix the PKGBUILD dependencies

By the message, seems there is not dependencies satisfied in the repositories but I'm not totally sure.
Try later and maybe it will be solved
