pacman is telling you that slack-desktop cannot be upgraded because it
needs those other 2 packages(apt and gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0) the second
evidently being an ubuntu specific package name. you could try and get
those dependencies installed then try to upgrade slack-desktop. It may
be more trouble than it's worth.
