Welcome to the new monthly unstable branch thread.
Linux 7.0 is now EOL
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:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux71
Discussion has been ongoing since the first incident began yesterday in the previous thread: Some AUR packages were uploaded containing malware (2025-07-18 & 2026-06-11) - #50 by Yochanan
Active AUR malicious packages incident
2026-06-12 - Campbell Jones
We are currently experiencing a high volume of malicious package adoptions and updates in the Arch User Repository.
We are actively working to track down existing malicious commits and attempting to prevent additional malicious commits from …
Python 3.14 info
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

2 posts were split to a new topic: Question about Lua
rawtherapee is about to be functional again. seems the dependency mess is finally sorted. the fix just hit arch-stable
openssl got updated, followed by permissions warning:
warning: directory permissions differ on /etc/ssl/private/
filesystem: 755 package: 700
Which one should be followed?
As always: if you don’t have a specific reason to set permissions a certain way you should follow package defaults.

The file permissions were changed by Arch maintainers
to resolve this issue: #1 - /etc/ssl/private has far too permissive permissions by default
To change permissions:
sudo chmod 700 /etc/ssl/private

There’s an issue with fontconfig 2.18.1 that causes wrong fonts to display in chromium browsers and some other apps:
Removing or renaming /etc/fonts/conf.d/48-guessfamily.conf (a new conf with fontconfig 2.18) restores proper font display.

Yesterday, June 17, linux-api-headers updated to version 7.1.1. (from 7.0.1) and Virtualbox from 7.2.8 to 7.2.10. A notice was shown on screen to restart the system because kernel was updated (but an update to the kernel was not included and the system was rebooted earlier). This freezes my system using kernel 6.18.35-1. Any suggestions what to do? (except for using timeshift)
Did you refresh mirrors? linux618-virtualbox-host-modules has recently been updated to 7.2.10-1. I haven’t had any virtualbox issues running a fully updated system with kernel 7.1.0-1.

There is no linux618-virtualbox-host-modules on my system and VB runs fine.
pacman -Q linux618-virtualbox-host-modules
error: package 'linux618-virtualbox-host-modules' was not found
strange?
Yes that is odd. From the tutorial:
Host Packages and Installation
Packages to be installed on a host system
VirtualBox
VirtualBox Host Modules
The following components are optional - it depends on your use-case
VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO (non Arch(-based) Linux or Windows)
Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack (provides optional functionality)
Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
VirtualBox article on the Wiki or the VirtualBox End-user documentation .
Maybe you are using virtualbox-host-dkms like in Arch Linux? It was updated yesterday.

Yes, you are correct, dkms, and it shows up in the list of to-be-updated by pacman:
virtualbox-7.2.10-2 virtualbox-guest-iso-7.2.10-1 virtualbox-guest-utils-7.2.10-2
virtualbox-host-dkms-7.2.10-2
But why these issues now?
It seems that your mirrors weren’t updated. I received those updates yesterday.

I have no idea what this is even for. I do not have a package even relying on tessdata at this time.
Edit: Ah spectacle now relies on tesseract.

It’s for the OCR feature when taking screenshots so I guess you’d install the language specific packages you expect to use in your OCR activities.
I maybe should have paid more attention but all seems well.I selected the default and have.
I should have paid more attention I removed tesseract-data-afr the default and installed tesseract-data-eng.
with last kernel version 7.1.1 driver amdgpu failed to probe early in the boot , with kernel 7.1.0 or 7.0.13 and kernel 6.18.36 is ok
