I don’t know if there is an issue. I have not been getting any updates in the last 2 weeks (except for flatpaks). I have checked my pacman mirrors and even switched them but still no difference. I’m relatively new to linux (and therefore manjaro) so I’m wondering if this is normal.
I used to get updates every couple of days but this seems to have stopped.
I have googled the problem but did not see anyone having a similar problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
It all depends on what branch of Manjaro you are on, and how development of that branch is moving. Open up a terminal and enter pacman-mirrors --get-branch to see what branch you are on. If its the stable branch it sometimes is a month or so between updates. While other branches may get more updates there are good reasons to stick with stable if thats what you are running. But it all depends on your bug tolerances and skill at troubleshooting and fixing linux. A lot of the “My system wont work after update” posts are on unstable in my experience.
Its also possible you have a corrupted package database. Open a terminal and enter sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*.*
then sudo pacman -Syu
You probably got spoiled by the high Stable update frequency in July/August and now you experience the other end of the spectrum. Everything is pretty normal and actually a sign that your system behaves like intended.
In July/August there was a push to releasing Manjaro 22.0.0 from the 21 series. Thats the version number the installable media uses and where the installed versions update to. Anytime a major update is about to happen you get more updates. The most common schedule is about once a month for stable.
