Title: Topic: Removing and replacing elogind cannot update packages

Alright, I have a big problem, I somehow install and relying on systemd's elogind. I am using Artix with xfce and runit.

Updating it does nothing and removing it has the same problems

Installing Artix support also is conflicting with the systemd files

I somehow managed to install systemd stuff all while not having systemd. Anybody have a solution?

You need to enable [lib32] Artix repository in /etc/pacman.conf.

For example see our wiki:
https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Arch_repositories

Just a couple of things for clarity. Artix uses elogind. You won't get very far without it so don't try to remove it. Secondly, the problem is that you, for some reason, have lib32-systemd installed. We're a non-systemd distro. Why are you installing systemd in another arch? :P You should use the lib32 Artix repo like SGOrava said above.

Alright the conf editing worked, however now steam will not work. Getting a "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libsystemd.so.0" artix support is not working, it's updating but not working.
Also sorry about misunderstanding my problem, I love this distro and I don't want to misrepresent it
Here is my conf

SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Artix Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate artix`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#    have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#    [repo-name]
#    Server = ServerName
#    Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The gremlins repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[system]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[world]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[galaxy-gremlins]

Alright just -Sy steam worked
Nevermind. Thanks for the help

The other thing you may experience is that things will not work and will throw strange error.
I saw this multiple times when people did similar things as you (had installed packages from Arch repositories instead of from Artix repositories).
The solution which I can think of is to reinstall all packages from affected repositories by Artix version.

Anyway, if it works now than it is fine, just keep this point in mind when you encounter strange errors.

Regarding "libsystemd.so.0" I think you need to manually create simlink from libsystemd.so (somehow elogind does not provide that one??).
