Installing electron20 doesn’t work?

$ sudo pacman -Syu electron20

The following command works

# pacman -Syyuw electron20

So placing the package name after -Syu keeps that packae from being overwritten?

Please read the manpage of pacman.

Your -w flag only downloads the package without installing anything.
The duplicate -y forces the db update (which you probably don’t need)

Have the “w” in on purpose so can switch to terminal later and issue the command with -Syu

Where does this package tradingview-bin even come from? It’s not in the repos and not in the AUR.

It was merged into tradingview.

@oneno: Remove tradingview-bin and install tradingview.

Sorry. Can see it has to be built from AUR

Use pamac or yay or another aur helper to install from the aur rather than pacman
