I can't open the Package Manager GUI

Support Software & Applications

Left clicking on the shield icon in the task bar does nothing, right clicking gives me the options of Package Manger or Quit. Clicking on Package Manger hides the menu but the package manger doesn’t open. Clicking Quit removes the icon.

I think this should run pamac-manager. Running sudo pamac-manager from the terminal gives me the following error: pamac-manager: symbol lookup error: pamac-manager: undefined symbol: hdy_flap_set_reveal_flap, version LIBHANDY_1_0

After some more searching, I saw that the pamac upgrade command might help. It completed successfully, but pamac-manager still has the same error.

A post was split to a new topic: Python-txtorcon verifying source file signatures with gpg failed

I moved your post to a new topic as it is not related to your original topic. python-txtorcon is an AUR (Arch User Repository) package.

It might, but let’s skip AUR packages for now. Try:

pamac upgrade --no-aur

I’ve managed to run pamac upgrade. That has completed successfully.

pamac-manager still gives the error: pamac-manager: symbol lookup error: pamac-manager: undefined symbol: hdy_flap_set_reveal_flap, version LIBHANDY_1_0

Let’s make sure you’re fully up to date. This will make sure you’re using up to date mirrors and fully update your system:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

All up to date:

Which pamac packages do you have installed? Please post the output of:

pacman -Qs pamac

local/libpamac 11.0.1-3
    Library for Pamac package manager based on libalpm
local/libpamac-flatpak-plugin 11.0.1-2
    Flatpak plugin for Pamac
local/pamac-cli 10.1.3-3
    A Package Manager based on libalpm with AUR and Appstream support
local/pamac-gtk 10.1.3-3
    A Package Manager based on libalpm with AUR and Appstream support

Occasionally there have been issues with the plugins, but I haven’t seen anything in awhile. Try removing libpamac-flatpak-plugin and see if that makes any difference. If you don’t use Flatpaks, you don’t need it anyway.

Thanks for your help. I’ve removed the libpamac flatpak plugin by running sudo pacman -R libpamac-flatpak-plugin

pamac-manager shows the same error.

I’m out of ideas then. Maybe open an issue:
