Hi there, been out of touch with KAOS for long, as the display broke on the Laptop I had installed it in.

Long story short, I have now powered it back up and cannot update.

Octopi gives this message:

resolving dependencies...

looking for inter-conflicts...

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Any information needed I can furnish.

Any help will be appreciated.

Looks like you didn't update for almost one year....

In those cases make sure to read back in the News. There you'll notice the used Desktop has a complete change.

Your conflicting package was replaced by another about August last year, since then that new package has been merged in new plasma packages. So remove that package, then try to update again.

But again, read the News, there are more things you need to do now, of course I can't know what all since no idea how long you did not update.

A rolling release is never a good choice if you don't update regularly, think of it as a bicycle, perfectly stable when it rolls along, try to sit on it while standing still, not stable at all.

Yes, That would be right. Last updated in May last year if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for the guidance.
