For the first time in quite awhile some issues seemed to show up in Manjaro trying to run “pacman -Syyu” … . seems to have something to do with “locales”? I’ve noticed the “locales” running in a number of my other system, it took awhile but they went through . . . . In the case of my Manjaro MATE …

See a possible solution: [image] [Stable Update] 2023-10-09 - Mesa, Grub, GlibC, Thunderbird, KDE Frameworks Renaming glibc-locales update requires manual intervention If you had the old glibc-locales package from the extra repo installed, the update to the new core package will need manual int…

[image] non_space: pacman -Syyu Please do not use the -y flag twice. User: Are the the package databases up to date on the server? I’d like to update my packages. (pacman -Syu) Server: Yes User: I don’t care, I’m going to abuse the server and waste bandwidth anyway. (pacman -Syyu) Also, i…

OK . . . I thought the -Syyu was the correct syntax to do “update” && “upgrade” . . . as is done on most of my other linux installs . . . . @Zesko : OK, thanks for the reply . . . seemed like until now Manjaro took care of all of its needs . . . automatically. Like with the keyring updating and so…

Thanks for your answer. I encountered the same issue as the original poster (I am in the stable branch). Although I’m relatively new to Manjaro, my previous upgrades were pretty smooth. However, it was quite frustrating to discover that I had to manually install glibc during this specific upgrade. I…

[image] non_space: OK . . . I thought the -Syyu was the correct syntax to do “update” && “upgrade” . . . as is done on most of my other linux installs . . . . The discouragement of yy is probably applicable to all of them. Syu = Sync, refresh, upgrade Syyu = Sync, force-refresh, upgrade Th…

OK, thanks for the explanation . . . as I mentioned, for the most part my Manjaro install has been so trouble free, that I now run it on two machines . . . . I think when I first installed it a few years back, not ten, but not one year . . . the wiki or the forum just showed that “yy” as the prefer…

[image] non_space: I would concur with the other poster asking why, all of the sudden, the end user would have to know to install a package manually to get a clean upgrade? I’m not sure I follow. The difference is just the forced refresh … 2 y’s forcefully does it even if not required … one …

Zesko’s number two post mentioned needing to manually install gliblc??? to get the problem I ran into fixed.

Oh … manual intervention required for stable branch in the case one has an old version of glibc-locales installed … Yeah. Sometimes manual intervention is required. Notice the rest of the announcements? Does this also mean you have been ignoring your pacnews? pacdiff -o Manjaro is not a 'I never…

[image] non_space: the wiki or the forum just showed that “yy” as the preferred way to maintain the system You’re right, the wiki does suggest it in certain areas. I’m working on edits right now and it no longer will (at least the English parts for now). One thing you may not have seen in th…

Getting back to this, I don’t know whether I had the old “glibc-locales” package installed . . . I wouldn’t even know if I have the “extra repo” installed . . . . Just basic Manjaro as the installer installs it . . . no time for messing around with the internals of it. @cscs : “Ignoring” my pacnew…

"Errors occurred: no packages were upgraded"?
