I installed Timeshift, and I get an error message when I try to launch it.
“Missing Dependencies”
Commands listed below are not available on this system:
*df
Please install required packages and try running TimeShift again.
What should I do?
You might be missing cronie?
yay -S cronie

df is a utility that checks the disk space. So i’m not sure what the issue is.
Are you able to run df -h in the terminal?

No
bash: df: command not found
Check if the file is there.
[ricklinux@eos-kde ~]$ ls -lh /bin/df

/usr/bin/df is provided by coreutils. I would be amazed if that is not installed in your system:
pacman -Qo /usr/bin/df
/usr/bin/df is owned by coreutils 8.32-1

What if you run df from a terminal:
df -h
Sorry I missed that post!
Try reinstalling coreutils:
sudo pacman -S coreutils
Afterwards check again:
which df
