Tried running sudo pacman -Syu "pacman>=6.0.2-11" (XFCE x64 variant of manjaro) and got this:
:: Synchronising package databases...
core is up to date
extra 1641.4 KiB 1145 KiB/s 00:01 [######################] 100%
community 6.8 MiB 1214 KiB/s 00:06 [######################] 100%
multilib is up to date
error: target not found: pacman>=6.0.2-11
What should I do to try and resolve the target not found issue?
Took me a few minutes to find the /etc/pacman.conf (because I forgot the path), commented out the community related lines and redid the command, still same output. The package manager did notify me of out of date packages though, should I show you the contents of the pacman.conf? Not sure if itās sensitive enough to hide.
Should be, Iāve set it to UK for speed since I live in the UK
Edit: Doing a side by side comparison the only notable differences I see are the inclusion of SigLevel = PackageRequired in the original mirror configs and the inclusion of ILoveCandy in the new configs. Gonna try setting the mirrors to worldwide, maybe it was simply too soon to be trying the UK mirrors for this.
Yeah Iāve just done the switch to āunstableā branch and getting different results now, probably need to close the browser in a minute with all the updates going on
Its one of the prescribd ways for ensuring you get the ānew formatā with the mirror change and stuff.
Though ⦠its not necessary to specifically target it if you simply do your updates.
(again this thread is split from the unstable announcements where that command is cited)
Terminal says I have a total of 416 downloads to make and browser is responding a bit slow now so Iāll just close it for now, I have the tabs pinned anyways
Are you sure you want to switch to Unstable?
Are you willing to get updates about daily ⦠be closer to arch ⦠and handle more things on your own ?
Thats what you are signing up for.
Of course ⦠you can switch branches again at any time.
After which you can simply wait for your branch to catch up ⦠or even allow downgrades while syncing to re-align with the branch. ex: sudo pacman -Syuu .
Welp downloads & updates finished⦠I think, it kicked me out of my login session as soon as it was done, Iām assuming thatās the expected behaviour. As for the being sure thing, Iād rather stay on stable but this is one of those times where I probably have to accept being on the unstable branch temporarily. Itās not a branch I expect to stay on permanently, just until the stable branch has finished the transition. Besides I do have just enough tech skills to cope with terminal related stuff and digging into the system internals when necessary, I just make a point of avoiding doing so to keep my system as stable as possible.
