Dependencies cannot be satisfied on update

Hello together,

I have a problem updating my Manjaro system with pacman. When running

sudo pacman -Syu

I get the following error message:

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...

looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

I saw in similar posts that a solution would be to remove depreciated or not needed packages (apperently called orphans), which cause this problem. However, I am not sure which one it is, i.e. the older electron versions or “icu” and “flac”. I dont want to mess up my system :wink:

I am not very experienced with Manjaro yet, so would be glad if someone could explain! Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Philipp

remove electron30 and electron29 and gradually any AUR packages - you can reinstall those which you need later

Unable to update because of electron29 dependency issue

Thanks, did not see the post. Removing the older electron versions by hand to run a new update solved it. Danke sehr!
