There is a bit of an alpm limitation, as also noted if you follow the links in the arch's todo. But it can be fixed by forcing install of both: pacman -S ntfsprogs ntfs-3g

I cannot update/install ntfs-3g without breaking the ntfsprogs package.

I don't have this issue. woeusb-ng already depends on ntfsprogs, that provides the userspace utilities.

I think the package needs to update its depdendencies. As it looks, the ntfs arch package was split into ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs. I cannot update/install ntfs-3g without breaking the ntfsprogs package.

Error: looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: installing ntfs-3g (2026.2.25-1) breaks dependency 'ntfsprogs' required by woeusb-ng

The package uses upstream desktop shortcut. I can include a patch, but maybe you should propose your updated desktop entry as a PR on https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB-ng ?

I get this error whenever I try to burn the iso to usb, either mounted or unmounted: Installation failed! Error: Unable to create /media/woeusb_source_1704217016_13039 mountpoint directory

Maybe we could replace ntfs-3g with ntfsprogs-ntfs3 (on the AUR), since the NTFS3 driver is built into all official Arch Linux kernels as a module by default.

It's already the case by default, we include ntfsprogs as a dependency, which resolve to:

ntfsprogs (ntfs-3g-wimlib-patched, ufsd-pro-tools, ntfsprogs-ntfs3, ntfs-3g)

On a clean install, you should be able to choose the package that match ntfsprogs.
