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?

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.
