[Linux - Arch] Leftover files if discord is uninstalled before unplugging

[SomeAspy]

Describe the bug

Not looking for a fix at the moment, this issue is more to just have this issue on record.

if discord is removed via the package manager before unplugging, 2 files will be left behind.
/opt/discord-[development/canary/ptb]/
|- app.asar
|- app.orig.asar

A quick patch would be to add some sort of pnpm run cleanup to remove leftover files, as this can prevent discord from reinstalling cleanly, ex:

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
discord-development: /opt/discord-development/resources/app.asar exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
 -> error installing: [discord-*version*.tar.zst] - exit status 1

Reproduction steps

1. Remove discord (do not unplug prior)
2. Remnants at `/opt/discord-[edition]

Expected behavior

There should be no remnants, or at the minimum, no conflicting files

Actual behavior

conflicting files are left behind

Additional information

No response

Please confirm the following

• I checked if Discord and Replugged are up to date
• I made sure this is not related to an external plugin or a theme
• I searched the issues to make sure this bug has not been reported before.

Because this is linux, it may be installed to /opt/share/discord-[development-canary-ptb].

On Manjaro it was there when installed from the aur at least 🤷

I would rather avoid leftover files in the first place by only editing the app.asar file and not creating app.orig.asar

{
  "name": "discord",
  "description": "Discord Client for Desktop - Bootstrapper",
- "main": "app_bootstrap/index.js",
+ "main": "loader.js" 

which loads both replugged and the original main:

require("path/to/replugged/entrypoint");
require("./app_bootstrap/index.js");

This would also fix the upgrading issue:

# pacman -S discord
