well i am new to Garuda and BlackArch in general. I hopped from mint.
when i try to run sudo pacman -Syu (or install anything really) i get that error.
terminal shows something like this:
Running pre-transaction hooks...
(1/4) Creating Timeshift snapshot before upgrade...
timeshift: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.68: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Unable to run timeshift-autosnap! Please close timeshift and try again. Script will now exit...
error: command failed to execute correctly
error: failed to commit transaction (failed to run transaction hooks)
Generally a reinstall will not fix an update issue, as once the system update is performed usually the issue will return.
A reinstallation will usually only remedy a bad update if during the interim a new fix was released to correct whatever issue caused the problem in the first place.
Still, it is usually easier to roll the system back than to reinstall over and over again. Reinstalling over and over again is the solution learned from the Windows world. A rolling Linux distribution does not require that and a competent user can keep a rolling distro installed for a decade if they so choose.
