It breaks nothing on HoloISO maybe, but this isn’t HoloISO. HoloISO has their own seperate repos and base their packages on what Steam is using for SteamOS.
Ah, I see.
I feel a little stupid, when it says “Upstream Arch is 2.35-6” I didn’t stop to think it meant architecture and assumed it meant arch the distro. Heck.
No they meant the distro. But just because it doesn’t break something on HoloISO doesn’t mean it won’t break anything on Endeavour. glibc underpins a lot of things on Linux, and HoloISO is a much more limited-focus distro than Endeavour.
Thanks for your comment, however I tried this, it broke more things than it fixed.
Not a single game could boot anymore and I had to revert the downgrade.
Comment out your current repositories instead of deleting them so when you want to revert, you can just uncommet original repositories and comment/delete archive repositories.
Someone may want to verify but I think electron19 is from the AUR.The actual electron in the Arch community repo is version 20, and I think that would be preferable.
You can check what a package is a dependency of by using pacman’s -Qi option.
pacman -Qi electron19
There is a “Required By” field that will show you what, if anything, requires the package. It will also show you any dependencies that the package has, any conflicting packages, etc.
In that case you’ll have to make a choice, stick with electron19 and use those, or move to electron and find replacements (such as element-desktop-git in the AUR, which uses electron rather than electron19).
I haven’t used either one so I can’t advise on which works better or is better.
That solved the problem, thank you muchly!
How can I keep my eyes on the situation to know when the package is updated to a version that doesn’t cause the issue?
On a side note, I’m actually happy I got this issue, it gave me a chance to learn something new.
