Previously, we installed its contents in a way that made pacman not aware of the files (using VBoxManage extpack install ... from an install script). To mitigate issues during upgrade, you can use one of the following methods:
Uninstall virtualbox-ext-vnc before upgrading the system, then installing it again.
Run VBoxManage extpack uninstall 'VNC' as root before upgrading the system.
Instruct pacman once to overwrite the existing files:
7.0.14 is the last maintenance release of the 7.0 kernel series. This kernel is now marked ‘End Of Life’ (EOL). It is recommend to switch to the newer linux71 series:
You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to libpython3.13.so.
Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.13/ :
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13/
Rebuild them all at once:*
pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13)
Use rebuild-detector to see if anything else needs to be rebuilt:
checkrebuild
* It’s recommended to clean your build cache first with pamac clean --build-files

Today onnxruntime was offered by pacman -Syu with a choice of 5 providers . It was not on my system. It seems nothing requires this package? There seems to be a relation with ai and firefox. Can this be ignored?
Something you have installed requires it that may not have before. Choose a provider like onnxruntime-cpu if in doubt, then check and see what requires it after the update is finished.
Bluez 5.87-2 has a regression that makes Bluetooth audio skip every few seconds. The volume is much lower too. I need to turn it to maximum volume to even hear anything. My earbuds worked fine with 5.86-6 before the latest update.
Edit: I downgraded bluez and bluez-libs to 5.86.6-6. My earbuds work normally again.
Having switched to linux 7.1, im now unable to remove linux 7.0 via the manjaro kernel manager gui because all the kernel meta packages still provide/depend on the 7.0 kernel. This hasnt happened to me before when ive switched to a newer kernel, have they just not been updated?
Currently, linux70 is EOL, but still in the repos. linux-meta will be updated when linux70 is completely removed from the repos. When that happens, linux-meta will remove linux70 from your system.
Edit 2026-07-07T05:25:00Z: corrected the version of Linux to linux70
Edit 2026-07-07T23:45:00Z: The linux-meta update just removed linux70 from my system:
Heads up: Older Electron packages were dropped to the AUR, so if you have any packages depending on Electron older than v39, you’ll want to replace them with the corresponding binary package from the AUR; i.e., electron38-bin.
The compiled virtualbox kernel modules will be along as soon as GitLab decides it’s in a mood to cooperate. Either wait until later to update or install virtualbox-host-dkms for now.
EDIT: The virtualbox kernel modules are pushed along with new 7.2 kernel support.
