Hello guys,
I had a little problem with the update and i don’t know how to go on with the following steps now… please help me out.

I openend the terminal and used command sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu

After i saw the update is only 0,02MB big, i wanted to skip it and double check what pamac (GUI) will show there… but pacman don’t care that i pressed “n” to skip the update and just keep execution full system update, i don’t know what to do now… can i close the terminal or should i press N key again and again till all files skipped?

The problem i don’t updated the first 0.02MB package, im worried that lead to additional issues if i keep going with the update.

Please read carefully what is on your screen: you said n(o) to the installation of manjaro-system-20210612-1 package - not the whole update you initiated.
Rerun the update command and you’ll be asked again.

yeah thats true, but i though the update will safely abort…

6

Would it lead to errors if i close the terminal now?

7

If an update is in progress in that terminal, let it complete.
Rerun the same command again after that.

8

Im just in the que message, i still had my terminal open and i had download anything yet.
Because i won’t make anything wrong… i didn’t download anything at all.

9

If the terminal has already finished its process, I would do the following:

sudo pamac checkupdates
sudo pamac update

Note. this is the first time I have used pamac to update my system and I was pleased that it did it well and without any problems.

I’m still here:

I close it and better just run pacman now instead pamac?

I could bet that if you let it continue with “Y” it’s going to fail as stated in my first post. And if you put “n” it aborts the update.

12

You put “n” – that mean abort update. You need to give “y” or just enter.

13

Thats not working… the terminal asked me for every single update now…

You can repeatedly press “Control-C” until the script gives up and terminates.

Occasionally I have done it without problem; maybe because at that time I can’t update for some reason, such as needing to mount a disk drive and I already know that certain updates prevent me from mounting drives.

There is a warning Popup message from pamac now:

Warning: installing lib32-libcanberra (0.30+2+gc0620e4-4) breaks dependency ‘lib32-libcanberra=0.30+2+gc0620e4-3’ required by lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer

Should i manually remove it in terminal after the update is done?

At the time I got the same message, as I could not do anything I let it continue and pamac solved it on his own:

$ sudo pamac update

Everything working fine now :slight_smile:

btw. what is the best way to update manjaro?

i always used “sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu” but should i use a pamac in terminal instead the gui version… what is more stable or safer?

Will this command working for pamac?
sudo pamac-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pamac -Syyu

22

No. The correct is:

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && pamac update

You shouldn’t use sudo with pamac, pamac will ask when needed.
