two questions before we proceed

#

unrelated ones

thorny yew
#

Ok

outer tree
#
  1. what do you need dnf for?
  2. how do you usually install packages, if you don't know how to update? just pacman -S should error out after a while if you don't update
thorny yew
#

When it asked for dnf i said yes randomly and yea i do updates that way just pacman -S things

flint tinsel
#

Tldr: OP installed fedora's dnf on arch

outer tree
#

i'm not asking about the y that you typed right now, i'm asking about why do you even have dnf on your system. you must've intentionally installed it at some point, the question is - why?

#

do you know what dnf is?

thorny yew
#

No

#

I must have pasted it when fixing something else without knowing

outer tree
#

dnf is a package manager from Fedora and you use Arch not Fedora..

thorny yew
#

I must have done it accidentally

mint prism
#

Could we see a pacman -Syu run as root?

#

so sudo su to get as root, and then just pacman -Syu

outer tree
#

the safest thing to do right now would be

./pacman-static -Qi electron32
#

so i know what packages depend on electron32 before i instruct you to forcefully get rid of it

#

and yeah you will take a lot of pictures here

Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

Also see this similar guide on how to ask smart questions.
