Hello there. I just got an update request in my mabox but when I try to apply the changes, I get the following error message: `removing wxgtk-common breaks dependency 'wxgtk-common' required by wxgtk2` How should I procede to overcome the problem? Looking at the arch wiki I saw something about unninstalling the package manually and then getting on with the update but when I tried I got another error message saying: `removing wxgtk2 breaks wxgtk2 required by module` OBS: My knowledge about linux (arch based and otherwise) is quite basic. Thanks in advance. ---

Hello, I had to uninstall module…then I could remove wxgtk2 & wxgtk-common.. I then I could update.. I just want to point out that this is not a Mabox issue..for it comes along Manjaro & Arch renew of packages or replace..some other old apps are having issues for they have this wxgtk2 dependency impasse..just to see what is coming next I leave this link from Manjaro: > **[Removing wxgtk-common breaks dependency required by wxgtk2](https://forum.manjaro.org/t/removing-wxgtk-common-breaks-dependency-required-by-wxgtk2/116894)** > > Hello When trying to update I got the message that “could not satisfay dependencies” because removing wxgtk-common breaks deppendency required by wxgtk2 Any suggestions? Thank you! ---

Please remove **wxgtk2** and **modulo**. ```auto yay -R wxgtk2 modulo ``` **modulo** is an optional dependency for **espanso** - text expander. ---

Thank you guys. Removing both packages did the trick just fine. Appreciate the help. ---

I temporarily got around it by update from terminal (which I normally do) there you have the option of not replacing conflicting modules. Update all good but thanks for the heads up. I will remove modules next login. Cheers Paulie ---

> [@napcok](#): > > `yay -R wxgtk2 modulo` Thanks, gents. That resolved the same issue I was having and saved me from having to post about it. ---

Helped me as well - anyway I used to do it by habit, that when I notice a big update I always check the Manjaro & Mabox forum thread about it beforehand so I can see if any manual intervention is needed. ---

> [@napcok](#): > > **modulo** is an optional dependency for **espanso** - text expander. Thanks! I was wondering exactly where it came from–pacman tells me it was explicitly installed on 10 October 2021, but my pacman log begins on 24 Oct 2021. So I was guessing it was part of the original install and came here to find out. OT: Still very much liking Mabox for audio production by the way. Am almost done mixing a cover of a John Cale song. Will share when it is done. 🙂
