Mingw-packages: nodejs cannot be installed any more

Created on 8 Oct 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: msys2/MINGW-packages

I cannot install nodejs any more:

$ pacman -Syuu mingw-w64-x86_64-nodejs
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 mingw32 is up to date
 mingw64 is up to date
 msys is up to date
error: target not found: mingw-w64-x86_64-nodejs

What is the problem?

I still have it installed on my system, so it appears as a foreign package (typically manually downloaded and installed or packages removed from the repositories), whereas I installed it the day before yesterday with pacman -Syuu mingw-w64-x86_64-nodejs and it worked. Today, I get this:

$ pacman -Qm
mingw-w64-x86_64-nodejs 8.11.1-7

nodejs is very outdated and don鈥檛 have maintained, so I decide to remove nodejs and packages that depends on it from repo.

OK, thank you for the quick reply. We will have to find a workaround then.

Node.js may be outdated but it is still required in packages that I don't want to have to re-engineer just to use. Thanks for the errors.
