Lol well we’ll see how that goes. Pamac showed 3 updates so I did those and then I see it downloading 6.2GB. I’m thinking that should not be happening for these three updates. Basically that can happen if the updates are fairly new. Pamac takes a while to catch up to that so this isn’t the first time such a thing has surprised me. In any case, I got an unexpected update! If it borks stuff I’ll just restore via Timeshift
**** At the time I wrote this there was a warning that said DO NOT UPDATE YET, for context on what I was referring to above
As I said in my post, pamac showed I had 3 updates. Signal, Warp terminal, and something else. I told it to update those. Then I saw it downloading 6.2GB and by the time I looked here to see if there was some update released it was installing. I did not intentionally install the update. Pamac had not decided to show the long list of packages so I had no idea that was going to happen.
If I had any idea that a full blown update were going to occur I would have done what I do everytime, check the release announcement. I also would a) waited a little bit for problems to shake out and b) i would have used the cli to do the update as I don’t use the pamac GUI for full updates. I only use it for piddly one or two package updates
This is not an unusual occurrence for me. Often Pamac only shows 1 update unless I manually refresh it … which I rarely bother to do as I use pacman to update the system, then deal with any AUR packages later.
Yep, it can happen for sure. I was just noting when you asked if I had seen the DO NOT UPDATE YET, I did but only AFTER the updates had started installing. And that was because I had no idea it was going to happen and I was only expecting to update 3 things.
