Manjaro Error Update

Hi, I tried to update Manjaro using the terminal and this was the output:

pamac upgrade -a

https://aur.manjaro.org/packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz: Socket I/O timed out

Error: Failed to prepare transaction:

  • unable to satisfy dependency ‘openssl-1.1’ required by python2

Edit build files : [e]
Apply transaction ? [e/y/N] y

Transaction cancelled.

What can I do? Do you need more info from my end?

Ok, as far as I know I only need it for Archive.org-Downloader.
While trying to remove it I still got broken dependencies issues:

sudo pacman -Rs python2

Any suggestion how to get rid of it?

python2 has been out of service for almost 2 years.

You will need to remove all packages depending on python2

Ok I found this (Is it OK to remove python2 library? - #5 by JohnML) and it worked:

sudo pacman -Rcns python2

Thanks. Too bad I can’t use Archive.org-Downloader though.

Looking for archive.org downloader, I found this reddit thread
which leads here.
If this is what you meant, then you do not need python2 to use it.

It seems that you’re quite right, thank you!

I was going to report this problem and now i’ve solved it with the solution in here, thanks! :smiley:

It didn’t work for me. the prompt shows that openssl-1.1 is required by mssql-server

Prefer using:

sudo pacman -Rs python2
