I used pacman -Syu to upgrade my Manjaro system, but some new libraries like lib32-libcanberra-pulse and libcanberra-pulse failed to be installed due to the dependencies.

I have tried twice whether the libraries are to be replaced or not, but both attempts fail. Details are shown below.

How can I install these libraries and continue to upgrade the system?

You need to read the announcements

You might be blocked updating when using pacman due to some libcanberra packages. Simply remove those packages: sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-libcanberra-pulse lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer libcanberra-pulse libcanberra-gstreamer. We recommend to use pamac anyway, which does this automatically: pamac update

    I sound pedantic sorry but lately things have improved a lot. And whenever you hit a corner like this take a look on the main page.

    Still, valid point to raise the question here, since for me a quick Google search found this answer directly, which was quicker and easier than browsing the official forum.
