Hi all,
when there is a massive upgrade (more than 1Gb) pamac behaves strangely.
Pamac starts, asks for upgrade confirmation and after a little time returns to prompt.
But the upgrade is not completed: looking at the processes pamac-daemon uses a lot of resources and there is still a lot of network activity.
Waiting for pamac-daemon to disappear from the top 10 processes seems to indicate that the upgrade was completed.
Issuing again an upgrade says that there is nothing to do.
What can I do to βpersuadeβ pamac to avoid returning to prompt before completion?
