I apologize for this silly question, but I’ve been unable to update my EndeavourOS computer since a month or so due to the following error.
When I attempt to update the system using sudo yay or sudo pacman -Syu, I encounter the following error message:
-> could not find all required packages: nodejs-lts-gallium
Here’s what I have tried to resolve the issue:
looked for help online (forums / docs) → haven’t found any working solution
tried to manually install nodejs (success but the error is still there)
tried to manually install nodejs-lts-hydrogen (error: missing package nodejs-lts-gallium)
look for dependencies of nodejs-lts-gallium with pamac -Si and pacman -Sii but there was no dependecy corresponding to gallium
use pacman -Syu --assume-installed nodejs-lts-gallium; It updated the system (apart from 15 packages) but I almost destroyed the whole system, now I have switched back to a fully functional backup.
Obviously mirrors are updated.
Lastly, here are the details of my system from neofetch :
OS: EndeavourOS Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.4.12-arch1-1
Shell: zsh 5.9
DE: Plasma 5.27.7
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Do you have any advice on how to solve it?
I don’t know whether this can help, but just for reference, that’s the archlinux wiki page about nodejs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/node.js_ .
In the Installation section nodejs-lts-gallium is marked as “package not found”.
That’s the full output of LANG=C sudo pacman -Syu :

:: jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict
It seems like that there is a conflict between jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk. Yesterday I saw this forum answer on the Arch forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290066 . Does it also apply to this conflict?
Thank you for your tip! To be honest I always use yay than I insert my root password. I wrote sudo yay just to make sure that everybody knew that I was giving the root permits and that it wasn’t a problem linked to root privileges.
Hi Bonk! Thank you for your kind answer!
You saved me!!
That thread had all the infos I was looking for!
That’s what worked for me:
node-lts-gallium → using this link that I found in the thread you linked I was able to find out that it was (and it is) required by github-desktop 3.3.3-1 AUR package. I solved the gallium issue by unistalling github-desktop, updating the system, rebooting and then installing github-desktop-bin 3.3.3_linux2-1 AUR package
JDK - JRE conflict, by simply applying what was written in the thread.
Now the system is updated and everything works perfectly apart from DaVinci Resolve (when I click on the icon nothing happens - even looking at htop) but I guess it has nothing to do with this thread so I’ll keep banging my head against the wall for a week or so and then I will open another thread .
I don’t know whether this may help someone, but I managed to get DaVinci Resolve to work. Here’s what worked for me:
Problem: DaVinci Resolve couldn’t start because the libpango/glib system library differed too much from the ones Resolve ships. You can find more details in the Arch Wiki.
To get the desktop shortcut to work, edit the com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop file, which is located in ~/usr/share/applications. You can use a text editor like nano to do this.
Find the following line: Exec= /opt/resolve/bin/resolve %u
Replace it with the following line: Exec=LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so" /opt/resolve/bin/resolve %u
If you are using an AMD graphics card, you may need to add the following to the Exec line: progl
So the final Exec line would look like this: Exec=LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so" progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve %u
Once you have made the changes, save the file and reboot your system.
but I guess it has nothing to do with this thread so I’ll keep banging my head against the wall for a week or so and then I will open another thread
