I have Manajaro Gnome installed, and al is OK except from the following message which displays on boot:
“Failed to start pkgfile database update”.
I don’t know what this means. Is it anything to be concerned about, and can I prevent it from displaying?
I found this thread, does it apply to my situation?
Many thanks.

Hi,
I had this issue a while back, the thread may be helpful:
It just updates the database on daily bases.
Nothing special… On my system it is just used by:
$ pactree -d1 -r pkgfile ✔
pkgfile
├─debtap
└─manjaro-zsh-config
Where does it display?
Anyway… that could happen if no network is available. It will just retry on the next day.
My Manjaro Cheat-Sheet-Entry tells:
nss-lookup.target MUST be enabled.
Entry for:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/pkgfile-update.service
should read:
[Unit]
Description=pkgfile database update
RequiresMountsFor="/var/cache/pkgfile"
[After=network-online.target]
After=network-online.target nss-lookup.target
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pkgfile -u
Nice=19
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=journal
PrivateTmp=yes
PrivateDevices=yes
CapabilityBoundingSet=
NoNewPrivileges=yes
else correct it…
It displays when booting up - top left corner of display. Can I remove / turn off this message? Thank you.
I amended this file on my system to match yours. This appears to have fixed the problem. Thank you.
