Help for Deinstalling package & installing new package

[mikey9889]

Dear Forum,

I need to deinstall a package which has several dependencies and installing a different newer version from Aur without breking the system (!). How can I do this?

it's the mesa-panfork-git package which needed always compiling and resulted in errors. I want to deinstall it and replace it with a different package from Aur.

If I am simply forcing removing the package I am concerned in breaking the system and can't reboot the system again...
pacman -Rdd Mesa-panfork-git
and then
yay -S Mesa-panfork-git (7Ji)

pacman -Rns mesa-panfork-git
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Any advice how the system can survive the changes would be appreciated!

By just installing the new package. No reason to uninstall it first.
