[Solved] icu dependencies failures

When upgrading with pacman am getting :-
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=74-64' required by electron22
:: installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=74-64' required by electron22
:: installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=74-64' required by electron25
:: installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=74-64' required by electron25

i stupidly modified /etc/pacman.conf file on my laptop to ignore icu, but that completely borked the system. No great deal for me but on my desktop would be a disaster. Any help appreciated.

Re: [Solved] icu dependencies failures

Restoring on appeal of not being a direct dupe, of the testing repo issue.

electron22 and electron25 are both packages that are no longer in the repositories, check whether anything you're using still requires them (pacman -Qi or pactree -r from pacman-contrib are your friends) and remove them from your system (if anything really still actively needs those, remove them and their dependencies and then rebuild them after the update). Getting rid of unused orphan packages is part of proper system maintenance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … _(orphans)
