When I try to upgrade using Octopi, I get the following message:

Starting full system upgrade... :: poppler-qt5L installing poppler (0.45.0-1) breaks dependency 'poppler=44.0'

Any suggestions?

Yeah me too, I have tried closing and re-opening octopi, restarting but same exact message...

poppler-qt5 is being replaced by poppler-qt, not clear why Octopi fails to automate the replacement this time, I will see if the Octopi dev can help out fixing this.
In the meantime, Octopi is just a GUI for Pacman, use Pacman directly:

sudo pacman -Syu

and it will ask you to replace poppler-qt5. (with the default being 'Yes')

Thank you demm. 🙂
I'm curious to know why Octopi fails to automate this replacement, and when this bug will be fixed.

    This is a first....
    Octopi has always been perfect in automating replacments, in fact it was the best option to use when ~ 200 packages needed replacing in the KDE 4 to kf5 move. It also fails to show the question "Do you want to use cli for this update" right now.

      Issue is corrected, no replaces of poppler-qt5 needed, you can use Octopi again to update. (work will continue though to make sure Octopi can replace with version check in the future)

      This bug is now fixed in Octopi too.
      In future cases where a package replaces another package that depends on an exact version (like in this case poppler-qt5 depending on an exact poppler version), Octopi will stop right away and offers you to continue in a pop-up cli (Konsole), with the needed "pacman -Syu" offered.

      You are awesome. Thank you. <3
