It doesn’t provide any way to easily resolve them or simply skip that package to continue with the rest of the installs or updates. Any little issue breaks the entire process. I’ve had this quite a few times, but the latest example was on trying to install SchildiChat which gave the following error:
![Pamac_UnableToClearMissingDependencyEvenWhenPackageDeselected](/uploads/da3cffe1d0cf0e5261b358739ae7f64a/Pamac_UnableToClearMissingDependencyEvenWhenPackageDeselected.png)
- Adding electron24 to the install list doesn’t help.
- Removing SchildiChat from the list of things to be installed/updated doesn’t clear this error from preventing Pamac from proceeding.
- Even after closing Pamac, restarting it, and then going through the entire process to search and select all the packages I wished to install again (without including SchildiChat), the error still appeared blocking further progress.
In the end I had to reboot the system to reset Pamac properly and get the other packages installed/updated including electron24 after which I could then finally install SchildiChat successfully.
