sorry, i am late to the news of release of pacman 6, didnt blacklist, updated to pacman 6, need some support.
i just commented out TotalDownload in pacman.conf and that error disappeared.
the error i am now getting is while opening pamac-manager
╰─λ pamac-manager
pamac-manager: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
firstly, is the error normal for users who updated to pacman 6?
secondly, wanted to know how should i proceed?
i did searched for the error and got suggestions to reinstall pacman using chroot, or use
yay -S pamac-aur-git
this is very misleading unless you know that pacman 6 is released and gui package managers are having problems. Wanted to confirm how to proceed? for the users who have updated to pacman 6 and not blacklisted pacman. Should i just wait for a few days? how will the fix for this get to the users? do i need to reinstall pamac-manager or wait for a new release that supports pacman 6 or some manual intervention is needed?
1> i have kept cache directory commented which was default with the pacnew file. older pacman.conf had cache directory line uncommenetd.
2> i have added garuda-system to hold packages which was also present in older pacman.conf
3>added
Color
ILoveCandy
to the end of new pacman.conf
4> uncommented
#ParallelDownloads = 5
5>uncommented
#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
6>added
[chaotic-aur]
#SigLevel = Never
Include = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist
UPDATE 2-
sudo pacman -Syyu
works perfectly. refreshing keyrings now using garuda-assistant
UPDATE 3-
keyrings refreshed successfully.
sudo pacman -Syyu
is still working. now doing reboot and will check
systemctl --failed ; journalctl -p 3 -b
to ensure pacman is doing fine.
FINAL UPDATE-
Everything is now working as expected,
Thanks for help.
Now I have a new /etc/pacman.conf merged with the previous one and Pacman and Paru work fine. (I was able to upgrage the system with a snapshot before upgrade as as usual). I am happy. But the GUI Install and upgrage packages doesn't work. It crashes as soon as I launch it. I don't know why.
Must I wait for new version compatible with pacman 6.0?
