Had a glitch on the “merge” pacfiles, they just didn’t want to. Had to reboot several times.
I went to update steam games and everything just hung, with no error. Just nada.
After a few reboot cycles, things cleared up a bit. But there is still some kind of maintenance issue with the Hashicorp Vagrant package. It just stalls at the beginning of its package update.
Anyone else experiencing? If so, did you troubleshoot it?
In my Google-Fu I saw we can use “Btrfs” snapshots. Is that like a Time Machine on an external drive? Don’t know how it could help with a cold start reinstall otherwise.
I learned the hard way, too, that blindly merging pacfiles can cause a lot more headaches than it solves. Thanks for the reminder about pacdiff, a super useful tool that more people should get familiar with!
