[SOLVED] installing electron (19.0.8-1) breaks dependency 'electron18'

Since a few hours, pacman -Syu gives:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing electron (19.0.8-1) breaks dependency 'electron18' required by code

I'm using (Visual Studio) code.

I believe you'll have to install electron18 during the upgrade as well:

pacman -Syu electron18

If you do not need/want electron version 19 you could use two steps I think

pacman -S electron18
pacman -Syu
