[SOLVED] Orphan (unmaintained) AUR Packages - 7 Different lib32 Packages

General system Pacman & AUR helpers
1

I tried an update and got these Orphan (unmaintained) AUR Packages.

❯ yay
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 endeavouros is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 chaotic-aur is up to date

 there is nothing to do

I tried an -Rns to see any dependency issues. They seem to be related to steam-native-runtime.

❯ yay -Rns lib32-gtk2  lib32-libappindicator-gtk2  lib32-libdbusmenu-gtk2  lib32-libindicator-gtk2  libappindicator-gtk2  libdbusmenu-gtk2  libindicator-gtk2

Anyone have any ideas on how I might address this?

GTK2 is EOL

I installed Steam on the first day of this EOS installation. That was 187 days ago. Curious as to why it is only now that there is a warning when updating???

I just updated via YAY and extra/libappindicator replaces both libappindicator-gtk2 & -gtk3

@MrSmartepants, yours is gtk3: Replace libappindicator-gtk3 with extra/libappindicator? [Y/n]

Mine is lib32 and gtk2 lib32-libappindicator-gtk2. And that’s just 1 of 7 in my case.

Here’s one:

sudo pacman -R steam-native-runtime
sudo pacman -Rns lib32-gtk2  lib32-libappindicator-gtk2  lib32-libdbusmenu-gtk2  lib32-libindicator-gtk2  libappindicator-gtk2  libdbusmenu-gtk2  libindicator-gtk2
sudo pacman -Syu steam-native-runtime

Edit.
Or try to see if Steam works without installing the steam-native-runtime package.

I did that and upon doing yay -Syu steam-native-runtime, I got this…

That seems to be the case. Launched Steam without steam-native-runtime installed. All seems well

THANKS!

You need one of the the two Steam packages, the “steam” package is the recommended one.
