Assertion 'fd' failed at src/tmpfiles/tmpfiles.c:843

I am getting this weird bug when updating certain packages. I completely reinstalled Manjaro and also on another drive to exclude the possibility of installation or drive failure.

No idea how to solve this. I already posted an issue at systemd, but they said it was a bug with the OS.

It has something to do with the pacman 6 update.

Running the command, from the mentioned line in /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/systemd-hook, manually works fine.

Thanks, @Strit .

What command is this, exactly? Here’s what’s in the file at line 28-38:

28 │ case “$op” in
29 │ catalog) /usr/bin/journalctl --update-catalog ;;
30 │ hwdb) /usr/bin/systemd-hwdb --usr update ;;
31 │ update) touch -c /usr ;;
32 │ sysusers) /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers ;;
33 │ tmpfiles) /usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create ;;
34 │
35 │ daemon-reload) systemd_live; /usr/bin/systemctl daemon-reload ;;
36 │ udev-reload) udevd_live; /usr/bin/udevadm control --reload ;;
37 │ binfmt) systemd_live; /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-binfmt ;;
38 │ sysctl) systemd_live; /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl ;;

Should we run this command if we get this error after a pacman -Syu system update and reboot?
