What can I do to get past this. De-installing webkitgtk and webkitgtk2 would require removal of 10 or more often used apps. I tried changing my repos, but got the same symptom.

Thanks,

I had the same issue except I only had one utility that depended on webkitgtk2. I removed that package (yad) in order to uninstall gtkwebkit2 so as to be able to do my system updates. Note that webkit2gtk is present on my system: I'm not sure what is the relationship between webkit2gtk and webkitgtk2, but for purposes of the package I removed, it is apparently not a drop-in replacement. The system now refuses to reinstall yad: "MISSING: webkitgtk2>=2.4.8_2 Transaction aborted due to unresolved dependencies."

Seems kind of strange that a package that cannot be installed due to dependency on a recently-removed package would even remain in the repository. So what do I have to do to get yad back? Compile from source and see whether I can stipulate that it use webkit2gtk instead of webkitgtk2?

Btw, what became of https://forum.voidlinux.org/? It's been unreachable for me for a couple days now. I know there had been some talk about shutting it down: did that finally happen? Thanks
