This worked for me.

However, as usual, how pompous they are on the Arch forum when someone asked for help with the same problem.

If you read the Wiki, you would have not have dared call them pompous :crazy_face:

The archholes were insisting that the OP read the wiki and not even signposting to the relevant part.

I’m sure there are plenty of fitting insults in Hungarian :wink:

I just deleted init.cpython-310.pyc then updated as normal. Did I f’up?
