If you want to update two packages that depend on specific versions of each other then none of them get updated.
Affected Version
paru v1.10.0 - libalpm v13.0.1
Description
Have you checked previous issues? Yes. I did check previous issues, but couldn't find anything of relevance.
So, I use ZFS on my system and I do not see any problems/reasons to switch to something else. I installed the zfs-dkms package on the AUR using paru, and everything has been going great. One problem, zfs-dkms depends on a specific version of the zfs-utils, and zfs-utils depend on a specific version of zfs-dkms, which completely prevents me from updating them.

As you can see, it is trying to update both the zfs-dkms and zfs-utils packages, but it does not want to.
Here you can have my paru.conf file, in case you need it

I encountered this also in the past using yay, but forgot the workaround...
this is the script I use
#!/bin/zsh
paru -Sy
g='/Version/{print $3}'
d1=$(paru -Qi zfs-dkms | gawk "$g")
d2=$(paru -Si zfs-dkms | gawk "$g")
u1=$(paru -Qi zfs-utils | gawk "$g")
u2=$(paru -Si zfs-utils | gawk "$g")
if [[ $d1 == $d2 || $u1 == $u2 ]]; then
echo "zfs is up to date"
exit 0
fi
paru -Sy zfs-dkms zfs-utils \
--assume-installed zfs-dkms=$d1 --assume-installed zfs-dkms=$d2 \
--assume-installed zfs-utils=$u1 --assume-installed zfs-utils=$u2
It uses paru -Qi to find the current versions and paru -Si to find the latest versions. Then it uses --assume-installed to just assume that both versions of both packages are installed, so that it can update both at once.
that is a good script but i see no reason for this not to be integrated into the app itself

I agree. This bug should be fixed, but I thought others might find the information useful in the meantime.
So a while ago I can't remember when, paru was changed to try and order stuff based on depends even when the depend is satisfied.
The original issue is not quite correct as dkms depends on a specific version of utils but utils does not depend on dkms. So with this ordering it should be fixed. Also there's --chroot if this comes up again.
I am running into this bug again with the recently released zfs-dkms 2.1.13-1 and zfs-utils 2.1.13-2.

Unfortunately this is not correct, you will not be able to update either of them without --assume-installed.
If you try to update utils first, you will get an error saying that this breaks the dependency of dkms because dkms package depends on a certain version of utils.
