Hi Manjaro community!
While loading manjaro 21.0.2 (KDE Plasma 5.21) I got some wired errors: [FAILED] Failed to start pkgfile database update But After that error my system boots up without any problem!(And writing this with that system).
The first question is what is this service is doing?
The second question is how to fix this problem?
Edit:After reboot still same error but system boots-up.
According to these website(s): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pkgfile
Tried these commands:
sudo pkgfile -u
sudo pacman -Syyu
systemctl | grep pkgfile
The first two command worked without any problem
but third command output was:
pkgfile-update.timer
loaded active waiting pkgfile database update timer
Edit2:Now I used sudo pacman -Rsu manjaro-zsh-config zsh-autosuggestions zsh-completions zsh-history-substring-search zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh
How to fix the error?
Hi @Mirdarthos.
Thanks for replying to my massage.
I don’t think that pkgfile is related to pacman.
also i enabled aur support in add/remove software.
After running sudo pacman -Rsu manjaro-zsh-config zsh-autosuggestions zsh-completions zsh-history-substring-search zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh
Seems to pkgfile is completely gone: sudo systemctl enable pkgfile-update.timer:

What the heck is going on here and tell me what is pkgfile doing with my system!
Forget about that now how to fix these problems:
1.That error on boot
2.services status: sudo systemctl enable pkgfile-update.timer:

Patience, yes. Because patience is a good thing to have, in general. Also now. Except if there’s a life on the line, which I doubt is the case here. And that depends on whose life, anyway. )
And patience for Team Manjaro to work with Team Arch to figure out what went wrong and fix it. In the meantime, there are other ways to get AUR packages on your system, so you’re not completely without it.
