Because the same issues come up over and over, here are some FAQs/tips:

  • Check if you still need this. It is in the AUR because it is EOL and removed from Arch official repos since no official packages depend on it. If none of your other packages depend on it, just remove it.
  • If you do still need it and don't want to build it, consider switching to electronNN-bin.
  • If you do build this, yes it takes about 40 Gigs of sources and a lot of CPU to build.
  • Using the chroot build methods recommended by Arch will make this much easier, especially to not run into conflicts with node versions, etc.

What happens when you try to -R it?

HI, I currently noticed that both electron25 and electron27 are installed on my PC. I performed "pacman -Qi" (and yay -Qi) on both packages: both were installed as dependences to another package. But electron25 tells me not to be requested by any package while electron27 tells me to be requested by Codeoss. Is it normal that they are both installed? Can I delete electron25 safely? This is the result of Pacman -qi (and Yay -qi)

This package builds from source, so I'd say yes, this is normal. In the meantime I recommend using electron25-bin instead.

42Willow commented on 2024-03-09 23:00 (UTC)

I also had this issue @lillemets. Although I removed electron25 because it didn't seem like it was required by another package. yay -Qi electron25

It doesn't seem normal :/

lillemets commented on 2024-03-08 08:12 (UTC)

An update from 25.9.8-4 to 29.5.8-5 is attempting to clone about 40 GB to my disk. Is this normal?

aliu commented on 2024-03-06 22:13 (UTC) (edited on 2024-03-06 22:16 (UTC) by aliu)

Hey there, the dependency on LTS hydrogen made me unable to install this due to conflicts with my local, latest nodejs, which is required due to other electron versions I have installed.
