Error during garuda update after install

Issues & Assistance

Hi,
After installing the gaming addition from the 230501 iso, on initial start the garuda assistant starts as normal but fails. The output is as follows:

: Synchronizing package databases...
garuda is up to date

I have reinstalled but the same problem occurs. I've also looked for this or a similar error and haven't found one. I have also installed on this machine before. The only difference is going from 32GB ram to 64GB.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

From what I can find, it looks like the python-xdg/python-pyxdg conflict is an old thing:
AUR (en) - python-xdg (comments)
Why do python-pyxdg and python-xdg conflict?
I think you'll need to find out which installed packages need them, maybe you'll have to install one or more in a Python virtual environment "the Python way" rather than using system packages.
I'm not sure if there are default packages depending on them in the gaming edition, I see I have python-pyxdg on my (Sway WM) box and it was pulled in by bpython which I installed myself.
In case ytmdl is involved, maybe try yt-dlp instead.

Thanks very much. I really appreciate it. I just couldn't figure out on a fresh install that had worked in the past on a clean disk would suddenly have this problem. Again, I really appreciate the help from all who replied.

Try ISO from 23-05-03
