Cannot update system, Electron dependencies mess

[bennypr0fane]

I’m trying to update the system using the Garuda Assistant:

spawn pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: kf6-servicemenus-rootactions: local (1.1.0-5) is newer than chaotic-aur (1.1.0-1)

Press enter to exit

Using the updater in Pamac GUI, the output is the following:

Warning: kf6-servicemenus-rootactions: local (1.1.0-5) is newer than chaotic-aur (1.1.0-1)
Resolving dependencies...
Warning: cannot resolve "nodejs-lts-hydrogen", a dependency of "electron24"
Warning: cannot resolve "nodejs-lts-hydrogen", a dependency of "electron25"
Failed to prepare transaction:

- unable to satisfy dependency 'nodejs-lts-hydrogen' required by electron24
Transaction cancelled.

More problems with older Electrons?
Apparently, other people on arch-based distros are seeing similar things happen, breaking other deps…
Any ideas?

Using the updater in Pamac GUI

Don’t use it. Just use

cleanup && upd

in terminal.
Post full terminal output for help and remove all old electronXX apps if cleanup not works.

ObsidianMD was causing me issues even after running

cleanup && upd

So i just removed it and had no issues after.

I was beginning to think it was my machine. Another post on this forum said to use Garuda Assistant - Remove Orphans and that worked for me. All of the electron** were removed as well as some others. Then udpate worked.

Whew!
