Having a problem with updating using pamac/pacman/yay

Support AUR
, ,
1

I’ve been having this problem for a while now, and just hit a roadblock I can’t get past, so here I am.

Somewhere along the line, pamac stopped working without sudo. Not that it won’t ask me for my password, it won’t even start without it:

❯ pamac update 
Preparing...
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.manjaro.pamac.commit ====
Authentication is required to install, update, or remove packages
Authenticating as: ********
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ====
Error: Authentication failed

That’s not asking me for a sudo password. It’s never asks me for it. That’s just failing out of the command because it doesn’t already have it. So, I run it with sudo. It goes through. So that’s what I’ve been doing. I assumed something got changed. What do I know? But it always fails out when it gets to the AUR packages.

It’ll do some of them, and after I’ve been sitting here for half an hour, it’ll give me this on one of the last ones and just stop what it was doing.

Pacman works as usual and as expected every time, but obviously, just for the normal stuff. If I try yay for AUR, I get the same thing every time:

It’ll run with sudo, but when it gets to a point, it fails out because you can’t run makepkg as root.

Searching for that error message (error fetching blah blah blah exit status 128) just leads me to git forums and stack overflow and stuff. I’m not using git, per se, I’m using pamac and yay.

So I have a bunch of AUR stuff I haven’t updated since like September or October.

How do I fix this?

pamac should never be used with sudo. The fact that it now requires sudo is undoubtedly a result of you having used it with sudo in the first place, which has messed up your permissions.

I would recommend reinstalling pamac and yay, but to be honest, I don’t know whether that will remedy the permissions issues.

I suspect that your problem with yay would be of the same nature.

Provided that you get pamac going again first, make a list of all your AUR packages, uninstall them, and then reinstall them. Most of them will need either updating or rebuilding against the later system libraries anyway. :backhand_index_pointing_down:

pacman -Qmq > aurpkgs.txt
sudo pacman -Rns < aurpkgs.txt
pamac build < aurpkgs.txt

You may then also want to remove your orphans… :backhand_index_pointing_down:

sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq)

You are unfortunately not keeping your system very well maintained. Besides what Aragorn said, i highly doubt you use ReiserFS. And Spectre-Meltdown checker is unmaintained, so it has to go too. And it is probably the thing from Git.

I won’t even mention the stable branch and AUR which is a bad idea, but probably not so much as running pamac with sudo and keeping bunch of aur orphans.

Now, since when didn’t you update the core system (sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu )? And do you read the announcements? Looks to me you have the Polkit problem. Which was in January… (it does not help that you filled your profile with ??? so that nobody knows what kernel do you use…or at least provide inxi -zv8)

reiserfs itself is also unmaintained. It was dropped from the kernel quite a while ago already, although it is always possible that the OP still has reiserfs partitions — e.g. from an earlier distribution.

I too have used reiserfs for quite a number of years — I still have it on my old laptops — before I switched to xfs, and then ultimately (when I started using Manjaro) btrfs. So it’s possible that the OP still has a couple of reiserfs partitions sitting around, and that they’d be using an old kernel which still has reiserfs support.

Delete the cached directories for those packages, then you should be able to update with yay.

rm -r ~/.cache/yay/{radarr,bazarr,emby-server-beta}

I know, I know. Clearly I did it at some point. All I can say is, “whoops.” Lesson learned.

That part usually usually runs fine. It’s just AUR stuff that’s been causing issues.

Not usually.

Probably not, no. But this is an old PC - a Phenom II x6 that I got in like 2010. It’s a 24/7 uptime media server/NAS kind of thing. 99.9% of the time it does what I need it to do, so I mostly leave it alone. I only update it once or twice a year. Which is probably also a bad idea, but it’s been chugging along since like 2018, so I don’t know.

I only have a vague memory that it’s some kind of filesystem. I can’t say I ever used it for any reason. I have no idea why or how it’s listed there. I can only assume something I did (or was doing or possibly am still doing) pulled it in as a dep for something else.
The PC in question is actually ext4 on everything.

This worked and got me back normal yay operation, and I was able to update all those programs. Thanks!

Good to know.

You think? :slight_smile:

Among other things, that leaves you in an unsupported state, which is never helpful when suddenly experiencing a problem.

The SbK Manjaro Server spin might be of interest:

Regards.
