Trouble switching to testing branch

Support
1

FYI:

Tried to switch to Testing today. This is what I got:

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing pacman (6.1.0-7) breaks dependency 'libalpm.so=13-64' required by libpamac

Then you have libpamac from AUR or who-knows-where.

Definitely no!

Did a clean installation, did the update for it and then tried to change to Testing.

I haven’t even enabled AUR.

Post (preformatted) output of:

pacman -Q libpamac pacman
sudo pacman -Syu

Here it comes:

pacman -Q libpamac pacman                                                           ✔  2m 26s  
libpamac 11.6.3-1
pacman 6.0.2-18

sudo pacman -Syu                                                                           INT ✘

Ok, then you’re probably using an out-of-sync mirror. Just in case you can try with -Syyu, but otherwise try changing it and retry.

Hmm. -Syyu worked. But I did not change anything mirror-wise. And the mirrorlist gets refreshed when switching.

But anyway: Thanks for your help!

Yeah, might need force sync when changing branches.

Manjaro wiki recommends rebuilding mirror list before updating packages

Switching Branches - Manjaro

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syu

To use the testing branch, I use this command:

sudo pacman-mirrors -aS testing
