When upgrading from arch to hyperbola according to the official instructions the command

pacman -Suu

which should replace hyperbola packages with arch does not work. The error reads:

...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: eudev and systemd are in conflict (udev). Remove systemd? [y/N] y
:: ecl and ecl-16.1.2 are in conflict. Remove ecl-16.1.2? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-systemd: removing systemd breaks dependency 'systemd'
:: netctl: removing systemd breaks dependency 'systemd>=233'
:: qtwebkit: removing systemd breaks dependency 'systemd'
:: systemd-sysvcompat: removing systemd breaks dependency 'systemd'

Answering the last two questions with "n" gives

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)

Those systemd packages are dummy packages so you can still use packages that require systemd. So have no fear of having those packages.

But neither keeping them nor deleting makes pacman do anything (it throws errors in both cases).
Thank you for the quick answer though

Hmm... maybe switch to parabola then switch to hyperbola... Switching from parabola to hyperbola worked for me once. Using their guide.

Actually, I would prefer not to do the procedure twice (also: I'm not sure what i would need to revers from my current upgrading...)

does the init system change when migrating to hyperbola? And if so, might there be a way to seperate this step (and would there be any chance this helps)?

Seems there are two ecl packages from the Arch repos currently (ecl and ecl-16.1.2). Try install ecl package from Arch before migrate to Hyperbola to check if it solves the issue.

Removing ecl-16.1.2 (and all packages depending on it...) solves one of those conflicts - eudev and systemd still cause "pacman -Suu" to fail

ok, then try run:

# pacman -Suu base

after deleting several packages (including imagemagick!) (and hours of downloading... ) I am stuck with
