Hi my sytem has an issue with updating flac wich is needed by Audacity. And the overall install of balena etcher.

Could you please insert the error you shared above, as text, not an image. I need to put it through a translator, but I’d have to retype it all to do that.

Place it inside a pre-formatted text block like this:

```
You error output here
```

I see electron30 is involved in the error. I suggest cleaning up orphan packages:

yay -Yc
fout:fout bij het voorbereiden van transactie (kan niet aan afhankelijkheden voldoen)
:: installeren van flac (1.5.0-1) doorbreekt afhankelijkheid 'libFLAC.so=12-64' vereist door electron30
 -> error installing repo packages```

When you run this, is electron30 removed?

If not, you can run this to see what depends on electron30:

yay -Qi electron30

See what’s listed under Required By.

I think it is. after running yay -Yc it removed about a gb of junk then while updating it reinstalled some but now it went true with is just fine. Thank you. electron30 is no longer installed it says.

It shouldn’t hurt to run yay -Yc fairly frequently. As things get updated, old dependencies become orphaned, which was likely the case here when electron got updated.

LOL i dont even know wy i needed electron30 in the first place. Leaves my issue with belena etcher i am going to try and reinstall that since i am kinda fond of it.

Lots of apps are built to use electron. In essence, it’s like running a web app as a desktop application. Balena Etcher currently depends on electron34.

I’m not sure I understand the issue installing Balena Etcher. What happens when you try to install it?


Nothing now it installs again. Seems that the old version of electron was causing issues on my system. When it was removed i could reinstall Balena just fine and now it all runs again including normal EOS updating so i am happy. thanks guys.

Could you set LANG=C before you execute the shell command. This would make live easier for people not speaking your language.
