Only problem I ran into was:

installing python (3.9.0-1) breaks dependency ‘python<3.9’ required by pkgbrowser

So I uninstalled pkgbrowser, and everything else updated.

Something seems to be wrong with the new pacman-mirrors 4.18.2-2 package.

tlpui needs to be rebuild.

pacman-mirrors is ok now with -3

Can confirm, pacman-mirrors 4.18.3-1 fix the issue.

python 3.9.0-1 also breaks menulibre, uninstalled and everything is fine. almost one year using unstable branch and no breakages at all :tada: :confetti_ball:

Not Confirmed!

Some Python libraries from AUR needs to be rebuilt manually. For me, they are python-numpy-mkl and python-pymunk. Note that the check process of python-numpy-mkl would fail when numpy for Python 3.9 is not installed, but a recent comment on AUR (en) - python-numpy-mkl provides a solution.

BTW, the Chinese mirrors got me into a partially updated state, where some Python-related packages are not rebuilt against Python 3.9. I had to use an Australian mirror to get these packages updated. :sweat_smile:

Argh :man_facepalming: - forgot to push to master branch - only pushed my working branch

And that is now fixed - and with a little extra I have worked on

[4.19] 2011-12-02

  • enhanced -c/--country argument
    • countries can be specified using country code or country name
    • further enhanced argument to accept lower case (any casing is accepted)
    • country specifications can be a mix of country code and country name
    • duplicate countries are removed
