Installing electron 20.0.0-1 breaks dependency

I had performed a partial upgrade yesterday, and today when I am trying to completely update my system, I have been met with the following error;

Don't. Partial. Upgrade. Ever!

Anyways, try removing the problematic package first.

The possible solution, which I can think of, are as follows; :thinking:

  • Run sudo pacman -Syyu --assume-installed electron19 until BitWarden & ElementDesktop migrate to electron20 :unamused:
  • Run sudo pacman -Syyu --ignore electron20 until BitWarden & ElementDesktop migrate to electron20 :roll_eyes:
  • Get rid of BitWarden & ElementDesktop altogether :skull: (न रहेगा बाँस न बजेगी बांसुरी)

The problem is none of the above mentioned solutions use garuda-update, which is the recommended way of updating the system :person_shrugging:

That would defeat the purpose, won't it...?

garuda-update is only for updating.

Your system won't (instantly) break if you don't use it btw.

This is why apps should start being actual apps rather than Boogle Chrome websites in an
Arch package.

Restore the snapshot from before this move. Then, follow the solution here to address the element problem: Bitwarden breaks update or dependency, actually?

Edit

SGS, you are fast! :smile:
