Idk why this issue is suddenly popping up. I have not installed or made any drastic changes in my garuda sway since a very long time. I have just been updating it regularly but one day this issue pops up. Can someone help me with this?

When updating your system, you should not be using pacman, but instead garuda-update. Garuda-update wiki article linked at the beginning of this sentence might be helpful if you don’t know about it yet.

Thank you @Apocalypticus. This worked!

Well I thought that the pacseek feature in garuda sway already does that. Whenever it shows me a number on the top, i go to pacseek and select it’s update option. Is it wrong that pacseek uses garuda-update?

I do not know, I’m afraid

Pacseek was developed by a community member of EndeavourOS. So I don’t think it uses the special Garuda update routines.
In Garuda it is intended more for a more comfortable search for packages than for updating.

In fact it does support setting own commands. But we do not for some reason :thinking:

https://gitlab.com/garuda-linux/themes-and-settings/settings/garuda-common-settings/-/blob/master/etc/skel/.config/pacseek/config.json#L14

Time to change that?

Tested with garuda-update as the SysUpgradeCommand, works great! :partying_face:

Added to garuda-common-settings 2.7.3.
