Earlier this afternoon (Fri Jan 5, 2024), my Pamac and Pacman were broken in a really bizarre way.
When I attempted to check for updates via Pamac, Pamac filled my RAM (62GiB) with garbage then started using M2 storage as virtual RAM, and took about 10 minutes to update databases. Then on attempting to actually update 4 AUR packages, Pamac crashed.
So I tried the same thing with Pacman, but it also failed, in an interesting way:
%sudo pacman -S -yy -u --needed

Hi,
Whenever I try to download anything or just click the update tab it will use more and more ram, about 1GiB every 3 seconds steadily increasing until I close it or the computer crashes, just having it open or searching works fine until i do either download anything or click the update tab, the update tab will go up to 90% then stop.
It only started a couple of days ago I was looking to see if anyone else had this problem but I couldn’t find anything, I’ve tried uninstalling it to reinstall …
Again … we know it can be mitigated by not using pamac, by disabling the AUR, and we are pretty sure it might be helped by clearing the build cache, but to mind only one user actually did that and reported things ‘fine’ at least initially afterwards.
Yeah. You might also check its actual paths. (ex: /var/tmp/pamac*)
