`pamac update` does not work

When I type pamac update on the terminal, I get this:

Editar arquivos de compilação : [e]
Aplicar transação ? [e/s/N]

When I type s to confirm, it appears:

Transação cancelada.

Which means in English transaction cancelled

What do I do? I need to update my system... Thanks for the help

Can you share the output of:

LANG=C garuda-update

I second dalto, but afterwords maybe consider trying garuda-update -a so that you can update python-srt, as it’s an AUR package that’s not in Chaotic or Garuda repository.

Please do not use pamac other than for searches, as you can see here:

Please don’t use octopi or pamac. It just introduces more problems than it solves. The Discover store is better imo for managing software but the terminal is king. You can add an environmental variable to garuda update to make it update the aur too if you would like. Just do update or update -a for aur and leave the gui stuff alone imo

Can you remove wxgtk2?

What happens with sudo pacman -R wxgtk2

I am getting this error:

╰─λ sudo pacman -R wxgtk2

verificando dependências...
erro: falha ao preparar a transação (não foi possível satisfazer as dependências)
:: a remoção de wxgtk2 quebra a dependência "wxgtk2" necessária por colorgrab

It says colorgrab needs this package

I will remove colorgrab, update the system and install it again then

That will be fine after you update.

This is not general advice but in this specific situation, it should be OK to use:

sudo pacman -Rdd wxgtk2
garuda-update -a

Also, please, use LANG=C

LANG=C sudo sudo pacman -R wxgtk2

for English translation :slight_smile:

Use pacman or paru or update -a.

Okay
update -a simply says the system is updated

Everything is fine now

Thank you guys for the help!
My apps are working now

God damn…all I’ve learnt today is that pamac is a dumpster fire lol

You sure it’s the thread that did that? I kid haha

Open a terminal.
Type abbr update 'garuda-update'

Now when you open a terminal, just type 'update'.

Sorry :slight_smile: , not needed.
This command has always been called update but when we wrote for example in Telegram, do/type update in terminal, everyone wrote sudo pacman -Syu in terminal. We then called it garuda-update for better understanding. So you can use both directly.
But for me I shortened it to upd. :smiley:
