Yes, well, you’re barking up the wrong tree, my friend. Why do you think I keep advising people to just use pacman (or octopi) instead of pamac?
Note: I do actually use the CLI version of pamac, but only from a tty, and only for the AUR stuff. And if it fails — which it does, occasionally — then I use yay for the AUR stuff.
I can’t edit the wiki post up top, so I just want to say I ran into the same error and fixed it with the same solution. Feels like some package is missing a dependency.
Sorry, it was not intended to you
I like pamac for searching packages, info, dependencies, link to repositories and web sites… and updating with a GUI -when it does not crash
This post doesn’t seem to allow editing. I would like to add this:
VLC doesn't work properly
Most of the functionalities of VLC were split up into optional dependencies
Check the optional dependencies and their description to install the ones you need (or simply install vlc-plugins-all
Hi guys, I ran the update with sudo pacman -Syu and soon (EDIT: actually, almost immediately) after pacman started upgrading packages the system logged me out on its own.
I logged back in and ps -e showed no running pacman process. Now pacman -Syu says there is nothing to do but clearly the update hasn’t been completed.
Any suggestions on what to do, please? I haven’t rebooted yet.
EDIT: well, I’ve rebooted and everything looks good. I guess the update must have been completed in the short time in between I got logged out and logged back in again. Doesn’t make much sense but reality wins
