I have a system running Endeavour that has been offline for just over a month (motherboard replacement).
I rebuilt the MB last night and then went to update the software, which had a large slew of package updates in the queue plus a “Full system upgrade”.
However the system upgrade fails with the following output-
:: Synchronising package databases...
endeavouros is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...

What’s interesting is that my system doesn’t have any of the dotnet packages, including dotnet-sdk-*installed? I’m guessing this means dotnet is a build process dependency for something, and it should be removed after use.
I tried dealing with the problem by moving the problem directory (/usr/share/dotnet/sdk-manifests/8.0.100/microsoft.net.sdk.aspire/8.2.2) aside. This seemed to get me 90%+ of the way there, but one package (naps2) still failde to upgrade-

-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
naps2 - exit status 4
I can try un-installing naps2 to get a clean system upgrade, and if that works I can re-install naps2. I just wondered-
- Are these known problems (I didn’t find any hits in a forum search)
- Where is the appropriate place to report system upgrade errors? Is it here?
