Seems it was updated by Arch a week ago, to a release candidate:
Updates installed for PHOSH (on SD), but failed for KDE Plasma (on eMMC) on my PinePhone; below is the message in āDiscoverā:
Dependency resolution failed:
libvpx.so=6-64 <- ffmpeg-pp
libx264.so=161-64 <- ffmpeg-pp: could not satisfy dependencies
Please report this issue to the packagers of your distribution.
Install regular ffmpeg to replace ffmpeg-pp.
I upgraded my Pinebook Pro with KDE. All seems to be ok.
One odd thing is that wifi initialization takes longer than usual.
Before the initialization was so quick, I could immediately start my browser.
Now I see the disconnected icon and after several seconds it will connect to my wifi network.
Nothing serious, but a little odd that it has become so much slower.
Hmmm, does the ā-ppā indicate a āPinePhoneā specific version?
sudo pacman -Syyu has now completed installing the updates (without conflicts) after I ran sudo pacman -S ffmpeg to switch to the regular ffmpeg
I exited the terminal, rebooted my phone, and now after some intermittent cursor blinking on a black screenā¦ Iām left at the following message (on a black screen with a mouse icon I can move):
musb-sunxi 1c19000.usb: Invalid or missing 'dr_probe' property
iio iio:device2: failed to read Who_Am-I register.
What steps do I need to follow to resolve this? (I think the need to attach the hub for keyboard access is imminentā¦ assuming this USB-related issue doesnāt prevent that)
EDIT: Just in case, Iāll see if I have another SD I can use to re-flash the eMMC with Jumpdrive - an easy way to install OS on PinePhone and PineTab ā¦ or is there a way to accomplish that from the PHOSH SD?
EDIT 2: I found there is a manjaro-arm-emmc-flasher tool that I installed under PHOSH (on SD). After reading the manjaro-arm / packages / community / manjaro-arm-emmc-flasher Ā· GitLab notes, Iām uncertain if I need to pull down an image from Releases Ā· manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile Ā· GitHub or if the script will take care of that on reboot?
I rebooted to see what would happen, and did not receive any prompts. Is that because (through reading the script) I donāt have a pre-downloaded /var/tmp/Manjaro-ARM.img.xz file?
#variables
TMPDIR=/var/tmp
XZIMG=$TMPDIR/Manjaro-ARM.img.xz
IMG=$TMPDIR/Manjaro-ARM.img
Thank you for the info. Iāll wait for the next update and will go back to old faithful Firefox untill then 
Well, yes.
The manjaro-arm-emmc-flasher package was used back in the old days. Itās not used anymore.
You could try manjaro-arm-flasher, which is a GUI tool to flash any Manjaro ARM image onto any device. Just make sure you use a PinePhone image for your PinePhone.

I can confirm exact same behavior as appelgriebsch on PineBook Pro w/KDE with this update
Ah, I do appreciate a nice GUI tool 
Not sure if it was an alphanumeric list sort issue or if the tool was looking at plasma-mobile-devā¦ but I couldnāt see the recent āBeta 8ā build I wanted @ https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile/releases/download/beta8/Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta8.img.xz ā¦ so I downloaded it manually, installed from the local image, and all is well once again with plasma-mobile loading from the eMMC!
I think for the next while the manjaro-arm-flasher will be my preferred āupdate mechanismā until the pinephone becomes my ādaily driverā, and Iāve settled on PHOSH vs Plasma. I donāt have any personal data/files/history on it that Iād miss at this point, and there are so many good configs/defaults/improvements between the builds that I find Iām missing out on by just using the typical āpackage updatesā.
I have a Pinebook (NOT Pro) with 5.15.0.-2-MANJARO-ARM. After upgrading today (2021/11/08) and rebooting I found a problem with shutting down from the desktop. Lines of messages. I can only shutdown by keeping my finger down on the on/off button. When I start up there are more lines of messages than previously but it does eventually make it to the desktop. Then it functions satisfactorily as before. I am a newcomer to Linux and need somebody to hold my hand, if I am to cure whatever it is that has broken.
Probably not relevant, but a year ago the wifi ceased to function. I bought a TP-LINK dongle and, with that inserted in a USB socket, wifi works again.
Works perfectly on my Pinebook Pro - Thanks!

Hello All. My update went smoothly. On Phosh - no major issues, but I am now seeing a bug regarding the megapixels app. Toggling the ISO, then attepmpting to take a picture crashes the app with this error message:
(megapixels:9433): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:05:15.858: gtk_widget_is_ancestor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
megapixels: ../megapixels-1.3.0/src/io_pipeline.c:578: update_state: Assertion `has_changed' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Would it be a good idea to remove manjaro-arm-emmc-flasher from the repository?
Or at least update the description that it is deprecated and manjaro-arm-flasher should be used.
Otherwise there will be people that try it by accident.
Yeah, it should probably have itās description altered a bit.
After an (apparently) successful update on a PinePhone 64, on reboot, I get:
A halting gear during the boot up and then:
the device drops into a text screen with 2 line at the top:
[] musb-sunxi 1c19000.usb: Invalid or missing 'dr_mode' property
[] iio iio:device2: failed to read Who-am-i register.
and then hangs. The square brackets contain timestamps.
Any ideas?
I received a kernel update and now the delay with wifi initialization is gone.
Everything working again like it used to.

I had the exact same issue. Resolved it by reflashing my eMMC with manjaro-arm-flasher.
See my earlier posts above for more details

With this latest Arm-Stable Update with mainline-linux-5.15.1-3 kernel Manjaro-Gnome uses much less RAM on start up now 430-450 RAM compared to previously around 550MB. Impressive. Thanks.
Wifi is also initialized on boot up without delay.
The āBluetooth can no longer be enabledā issue can be fixed by pacman -S rtl8723bt-firmware (replacing rtl8723bt-firmware-megi) and rebooting. Thanks to this post on the Pine64 forum, and yes, I have verified that this works.
Please add this to the list of known issues.
Only just managed to find time to try this.
Successfully reflashed from Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-20211121.img.xz
However, there is still an update problem as it now claims that there are 30 updates, but the complains about bad GPG signatures.
