wire-desktop is causing the following issue:
The old version depended on electron22 which has been moved to AUR. wire-desktop 3.34.3307-2 depends on electron27 which is in the official repos and gets installed fine but after the updates of the pkgs of the official repos electron22 is also rebuild from the AUR, causing a 30GB download.
Solutions:
If you catch this Before running [Stable Update] 2024-05-13 either
- remove wire-desktop and
electron22before updating with pamac (AUR enabled) and reinstall or - set
electron22to ‘ignore’ and after [Stable Update] 2024-05-13 has finished remove it
If you only catch this Whilst running [Stable Update] 2024-05-13 and the official repo’s updates are done and the following line has been shown
A restart is required to apply the changes.
just close the terminal window any time while this download is running:
Cloning chromium-mirror git repo...
receiving objects: 6% 1,50Gib
then remove electron22 pkg and either restart or, if you have other AUR pkgs to build, run the update again so those pkgs get built and then restart.
