Pacman system upgrade error

[andrewysk]

Some one please tell me if the pacman -Syu below has any problem ? because i just can’t upgrade my system after months of not using the system.

gpgme: /usr/include/qgpgme/refreshkeysjob.h exists in filesystem (owned by qgpgme)

is this pacman -Syu “debug” output is ok or it is an error ?

Please tell me what’s the problem ? and how to solve it… headache… each time i need to use rolling release type of os, i have to spend time to troubleshoot it… |
btw, my previous laptop is totally dead… (because i used live boot and put the lid down… most lilkely over heated (since the laptop keep running in live boot ) , unluckily the weather when the laptop freeze and no longer boot able was the hottest of the year. so suspect died due to overheat… the laptop monitor totally black, not even bios output.

Please tell me what’s the problem ?

There are multiple.

@andrewysk

repository 'community'

Community repo has not existed for a very long time.
This also indicates you have not managed pacnews.

System Maintenance

A recent thread includes some notes about it.

Cannot update software - always asks "choose a provider for qt6-multimedia-ffmpeg", then fails

Sorry for the wait. sof-firmware webrtc-audio-processing These are the two that stand out to me as possibly being desirable. And because they are orphans it also tells me you are probably not using pipewire? (they are both required by pipewire-audio) We can reinstall those if they are needed, and/or talk about pipewire later. So with that I would suggest removing the orphans; sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq) You probably want to get rid of as much old kde/kf5 as possible too; sudo pacma…

(actually further up that thread they had a similar error to yours as well with qgpgme)

@andrewysk

exists in filesystem

Usually indicates you did something at some point from outside the package manager.
Such as sudo make install on a manually downloaded software project, etc.

debug: freeing package cache for repository

This has to be because you added --debug, right ?

In the future, please include your actual commands, and the full output.
I suddenly have a feeling that we were not given all of the ‘exists in…’ either…

@andrewysk

and how to solve it

With what we know this should more than suffice.
(But if we didnt get the full output then it will likely still fail.)

sudo pacman -Scc
sudo pacman-mirrors -f
sudo pacman -Syyuu --overwrite '/usr/include/qgpgme/*.h'

@cscs

Yes. I have added in the command in above.

Sorry, i was in angry mood… when i need a computer the most, i have to face these things… sigh. sometime i just wish i don’t use computer at all… so no headache…

Kernel: 5.10.105-1-MANJARO

The current version in the Manjaro Stable branch is 5.10.224. 5.10.105 was released over two years ago.

@andrewysk

Please tell me what’s the problem ?

You answered your own question

@andrewysk

i just can’t upgrade my system after months years of not using the system.

@andrewysk

how to solve it?

Follow Announcements posts and update every month or two.

@andrewysk

each time i need to use rolling release type of os, i have to spend time to troubleshoot it… |

Then maybe a point release distro like Linux Mint would work better for you.

Apparently you have your own local repository? I would disable it temporarily, update then sort that out after.
