Issues with applications after update/keyring-update

Hello,
yesterday or the day before I did the usual sudo pacman -Syu to check for updates, an “arch-keyring-update/check” (sorry I don’t remember the exact name) was due and I simply confirmed it. Today I started getting issues with applications not launching, namely “apache open office” and “Webex”. While open office is working again after a rebuild (before it simply did not open) I can’t get Webex to run (it simply won’t start), even after a rebuild/ fresh download and install. Also when checking for updates I get the warning message:

Warning: python-pyqt5: local version (5.15.6-7.1) is newer than extra (5.15.6-7)

I don’t know what to make of it. I also run Manjaro on my laptop, which is basically setup in the same way as my desktop pc and I am having the same exact issue with the applications there (as well as the same warning message), open office is working again, Webex not.

The keyring update also did something with grub (I’ve seen that in the terminal), that’s were my second issue lies. Apparently it messed up the boot partition of my windows drive, as it doesn’t show up in the BIOS setup anymore (Manjaro runs on a Samsung M.2 970-Plus and Windows on a M.2 Samsung 970, maybe too similar drives?). When looking at the windows drive with gparted the boot partition is still there, but like I said it’s not working anymore.

No issues with any other application so far…

I know the information is quite thin but that’s all I could figure out. Any hints on what’s wrong are appreciated.

Since you mention building, i get you use AUR packages. Have you checked comments on their respective pages?


See [HowTo] Fix package "is newer than ..."


I’d rather think this is due to other packages’ update – such as kernel ones – that may have occurred right after: keyring packages are updated first, separately, so they can be used to check other packages’ integrity.
You can check what was actually done in /var/log/pacman.log .

Regarding the Windows partition not showing, are you sure it is about the BIOS and not rather the GRUB?

Did the trick, thanks!

Also helped, I simply googled and couldn’t find anything. The solution is downgrading to libsecret 0.20.4-1 as described in the comments on the AUR website.

Concerning the Windows drive, from what I could figure out from the pacman.log it might have something to do with missing PCI-firmware. But this I have to check out first. Here is the part of the log I am referring to:
