I’m running KDE unstable on an RPI-5.
I just ran:
sudo pacman -Syu
There was one package to update, “raspberrypi-utils-20241118-1”.
The installation has stopped with the notification:
(2/2) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate…
and has not completed.
Is this a problem?
No problem here on XFCE:

Didn’t get to
Refreshing PackageKit…
Should I just CTRL-C and hope for the best?
Looks like yours had 2/2 while mine had 2/4 processes to do at that point. I have more stuff installed than you do. I would try CTRL-C and and re-install the package and see if the process will complete.
Oops. Now I get:
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)
How do I get out of this situation?
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
Thanks. Now it gives “there is nothing to do”.
I also checked the list of packages, and the updated package is there. Thanks for your help.
Packagekit is actively buggy as well as a security problem.
You should probably not have anything related to it installed.
