Hey!

After updating pacman-mirrors to 4.23.2-1 just now, it’s pretty broke…

-> % sudo pacman-mirrors --geoip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pacman-mirrors", line 20, in <module>
    from pacman_mirrors import pacman_mirrors
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pacman_mirrors'

Thank you.

I simply installed shiny-mirrors to get over the hump for now.

Interestingly, though, yay now says this about pacman-mirrors:

-> % yay -Suy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Searching databases for updates...
:: Searching AUR for updates...
 -> Missing AUR Packages:  pacman-mirrors
 there is nothing to do

Why would pacman/yay think that pacman-mirrors was from the AUR all of a sudden?

Hi, I just did a fresh installation of Manjaro and after updating to the new pacman-mirrors version (4.23.2-1) my package manager crashes, when opening the settings.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-mirrors-4.23.1-5-any.pkg.tar.zst

Thanks, but for some reason, I only have the new version in the cache. Not sure if I updated anything at all or it’s just the fresh install.

Now you just have to wait for your mirrors to sync and then sudo pacman -Syyu

Works again for me :slight_smile: Big Thanks!

Well, there was just an update to pacman-mirrors and things seem even worse now…

I’m typing this on the same machine so I know it’s online and able to resolve “manjaro.org”…

Above I see you installed shiny-mirrors, can you tell me if shiny-mirrors is able to resolve the address and so on?
It seems weird that it would be caused by pacman-mirrors itself, I think it was just some error fluke in dns query request or something, try it again with pacman-mirrors

Got the same issue, pacman manager crashes when i open the Preferences

25

Thanks.
All good on my side after this.

After some time has passed, it is resolving OK now.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have the same issue. Applied this solution and everything is fine now.

Did I mention it was fixed with 4.23.2-1.1? :wink:

No other “solutions” required.
