Details

I wanted to do a full system update today (with Bitwarden already installed) and the following error appeared:

$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing electron (17.1.0-1) breaks dependency 'electron16' required by bitwarden

I don't use electron for any other application. Trying to remove it resulted the following, expected, error:

$ sudo pacman -Rsu electron
checking dependencies...
warning: removing electron from target list
warning: removing c-ares from target list
there is nothing to do

$ sudo pacman -Rs electron
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing electron breaks dependency 'electron16' required by bitwarden

I couldn't get this working except for removing and installing Bitwarden again (`sudo pacman -Rsu bitwarden` and `sudo pacman -Syu bitwarden`).
This task depends upon

This one sounds like a pacman bug. electron no longer provides electron16, but pacman doesn't look for something that does.

I can confirm this.

I also confirm it.
