When running "sudo pacman -Syu", I get this output:

I tried using the hardware configuration settings to reinstall the NVIDIA drivers and got this output.

Any idea on how to fix this?

ChaoticAUR is being cleared and rebuilt #ANNOUNCEMENT #RESET December has been an awful month for Chaotic. We got ruined after losing our beloved first-hardware-class cluster (Oh how I miss those 380Gb of RAM). I kept trying to build 3900 packages with our limited alternatives, and that didn't work out. Packages were severely outdated, broken, some even beyond hope to repair. Because of that, this last week of the year, we'll go through some changes in-house. Especially, re-planning how we ha…

@caniko so-called 'necro-bumping' is frowned on here, mainly because things can change massively in a short time.

Please start your own, separate thread
