Can't update the system

I’m using Manjaro XFCE, but can’t update anyhting in Pamac due to invalid or borken packages…
What should I do?
Note: This is the first time I have this problem, and I’m almost a begginer in using Linux

run the update again with: pamac update and copy the error output here and use formatting: click this icon in editor - </>

electron9 was dropped from the Arch community repo to the AUR recently. I’m sure you probably don’t want to spend hours building it yourself. If you still have something that requires it, install the binary electron9-bin AUR package instead.

I just tried that, and it works. Thanks!
