Update AUR - conflict and I don't get to choose

[Whettingstone]

When I try to update AUR I get the above.

As you can see I get the question if I want to replace nodejs with nodejs-hydrogen-lts package but I get no chance to answer anything. It goes to prompt and I see the last few lines then.

I tried manually removing nodejs but it has a lot of dependencies and before I uninstall all dependencies I want to see that I should. The annoyance of having to install them again if I’m not supposed to do that is… Well, an annoyance I’d rather avoid.

Any suggestions here?

nodejs-hydrogen-lts

The package is called nodejs-lts-hydrogen and is in the official repos, not in the AUR. Just install that using pacman. It will replace nodejs.

I spot electron25 among packages from the AUR to be updated.
Several users have been having issues with doing so.
Have a look at the top 5 search results here:

Please post terminal output as text and not as screenshot. It makes it easier for others to copy, quote and comment on not having to take a screenshot.

Just copy the text, paste and press Ctrl-E to format.

nodejs-lts-hydrogen

This solved the issue but it seems awfully silly to downgrade from node 21 to node 18.

Luckily I don’t use node for anything really (apart for as a dependency).
Guess someone screwed something up. Seems to have to do with electron25 as mentioned by pebcak.

Fair enough. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

If you don’t need that electron25 crap, you can always remove all of that and just install node with pacman.
