Using pacman -Sy <package> in Arch Linux distributions is dangerous as it can lead to dependency mismatches and a "partial upgrade".
using pacman -S <package> is the correct process, or if you want to update to the latest versions, using the full upgrade command, pacman -Syu <package> will update all packages and install the latest version of your package https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported
