sudo rm /etc/pacman.d/hooks/pamac.hook

sudo pacman -Sy garuda-hooks

then it will work afterwards

Thanks :grin:

See? That's where I want to be... how do you know what the problem and the solution is? My reasoning would've been to open that file (if it were possible) and check what is wrong with line 10 (not that the string sed 's|<em>||g;s|<\/em>||g;' would have been understandable to me). Instead, you just make me remove pamac.hook and I'm golden.

I updated Garuda yesterday, after not running upgrades since the 1st of this month. Now, when I try to run pacman/upgrade I am seeing the following error:

error: hook /etc/pacman.d/hooks/pamac.hook line 10: invalid value /bin/sh -c "zcat /usr/share/app-info/xmls/community.xml.gz | sed 's|<em>||g;s|<\/em>||g;' | gzip > "new.xml.gz"
error: failed to commit transaction (failed to run transaction hooks)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I've searched google, cant find anything on this particular error, and I am quite new to arch so I am unable to identify it. I rolled back to a snapshot before the update, tried updating again and am seeing the same message.
