Multiple fatal errors while running updates

Hello everyone,

I try to update "electron30" with "doas pikaur -S electron30", but then I run into these errors:

"Failure while downloading chromium-mirror git repo"
"fatal: write error: No space left on device"

I have checked, and there is enough free space on my file system. I also tried looking the errors up and I only found this Gitlab snippet where the error is reported with no further comments or instructions: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/-/snippets/3771

I am lost. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

Also why are you trying to build electron from source? What on your system depends on electron30?

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

Thank you for the quick answers, guys.

After reading the output of "lsblk -f" one more time, I realized that my home partition might actually not have enough space. I have made room and I am trying again. Dumb, I know.

Also, I am building from source because pikaur does so, when I run "doas pikaur -S electron30". I am not aware of an alternative.

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

So as Gromit asked, what do you actually need electron30 for?

Also, there are many packages in the AUR that already have a bin precompiled so save you time and space.
There is a package in the AUR called electron30-bin.

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

Thank you again, guys.

So, I know that my current build of DbGate 6.3.0 from 2025-03-18 depends on Electron30 and I tried updating DbGate, but even the latest build has this dependency.

My system is running electron30 instead of electron30-bin, because of bundles. I did not install the git version manually and some program, probably DbGate pulled it as part of its stack.

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

okay so this is a XY problem. You presented your issue as electron30, but the actual issue is dbgate. what is the command you were using to update dbgate and what is the exact output you get ?

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

In any case it's easier to download the precompiled binary from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electron30-bin

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

Alright, using yay instead of pikaur allowed me to update dbgate-bin. Then, I replaced electron30 for electron30-bin also with yay. Now, all dependencies seem to be synched and I can update my system.

Thank you, guys. You did show me the way.

Re: Multiple fatal errors while running updates

Maybe just don't use any AUR helper unless you understand and can control their behavior?

Thanks.
