Can't update python2

Support AUR

There is an update pending of python2. But when I try to update it using pamac it shows an error. How can I solve this problem?

Hi @kartik1210, and welcome!

The error

…suggests the AUR database URL cannot be reached. But I am able to reach it:

$ ping aur.manjaro.org                                                                                                                                                                                                                               2 ↵

…and this in turn suggests some kind of DNS issue on your end. So there’s not much that can be done other than try and use a different DNS server.

Try 1.1.1.1.

More info about that here:

And more info on 1.1.1.1:

Hope this helps!

Do you really need python2?

It is EOL for over 2 years. You should remove it: pamac remove -co python2

I can download the tar.xz file if I paste that URL in a browser. But I guess I should just remove it. Thank you.

Do yourself a favor and only use pamac to check updates and actually update through your terminate.
