Bug Report? Welcome App Package Cleanup Config Error

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

After installing EOS on a new system, without doing anything else (fresh install), I get the following error when I click on the Package Cleanup Configuration in the Welcome App. Any ideas on where to look for a solution? I’ve not found a solution searching this forum.

paccache-service-manager error
Error: invalid line in file
/usr/lib/systemd/system/paccache-service
line:

ExecStart=usr/bin/paccache -r $PACCACHE_ARGS

Everything else in the welcome app appears to be working just fine.

Here are the contents of file /usr/lib/systemd/system/paccache-service

Looks like some variable substitution didn’t happen when the service was generated perhaps?

Heads up @manuel

usr/lib/systemd/system/paccache.service

is from pacman-contrib

so something in /usr/bin/paccache-service-manager (eos-tool) needs a change.

pacman-contrib updated 4 days ago:

Thanks for the report!

A recent change in Arch package pacman-contrib changed the paccache call parameters in the service file.

A new version 25.2-1 of eos-bash-shared should fix this problem, and the package is on its way to mirrors already.
