[Solved] Tried to install epiphany, but it wants to remove Cairo

Software
#1

Hello all
Thought of trying out gnome-web. When I tried to install, a pop-up comes saying some file "lib…’ is not available and Resolution is
a) Remove cairo
B) ignore for now ( with this selected, installation aborts)

What is Cairo needed for? And why it is required to uninstall it for installing Epiphany?

There are two conflicting versions of Cairo, if no other packages are listed by pkgman you can safely remove it, the other version will be installed in its place.
