Getting error: command failed to execute correctly while Running post-transaction hooks

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

Hi,

I noticed around December 2, 2025 that I started getting the error message “error: command failed to execute correctly” while the Post Transaction Hooks of an upgrade were being processed.

Post Transaction Hooks Error which showed December 2 and 7, 2025:

I did check the /var/log/pacman.log output:

I also checked the /etc/pacman.d/hooks/ directory:

❯ ls -al

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  252 Apr 20  2023 update-grub-config.hook

I can see the fix-appstream-data.hook appears to have changed.

Question:

I’m trying to get some feedback on what might be causing the error.

@manual had commented on a previous bug. So I will ping you to this issue.

ls -l /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/ will host the hooks..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 280 20. Nov 22:43 eos-rankmirrors.hook

from what i can see the error is from eos-reboot-required.hook
As it is showing with the hook running:

(10/12) Check if user should be informed about rebooting after certain system package upgrades.
error: command failed to execute correctly

Does not say this is a real issue but seems not to be a general problem,

is there before too, so this should be one reason to trigger to inform about reboot to the user.

@kagetora13 is this Grub Bootloader and default dracut initbuilder is used or its using mkinitcpio?

With this info I can’t see any connection to eos-reboot-required.hook.

But the following seems interesting. Could you show the output from

pacman -Qo /var/lib/dkms/acpi_call/1.2.2/source/dkms.conf
pacman -Qo /etc/pacman.d/hooks/update-grub-config.hook
pacman -Qo /etc/pacman.d/hooks/fix-appstream-data.hook

@kagetora13 is this Grub Bootloader and default dracut initbuilder is used or its using mkinitcpio?

Answer: I am using Grub and Dracut in my setup.

This is the output from checking the package versions:

❯ pacman -Qo /var/lib/dkms/acpi_call/1.2.2/source/dkms.conf
/usr/src/acpi_call-1.2.2/dkms.conf is owned by acpi_call-dkms 1.2.2-2

~
❯ pacman -Qo /etc/pacman.d/hooks/update-grub-config.hook
error: No package owns /etc/pacman.d/hooks/update-grub-config.hook

~
❯ pacman -Qo /etc/pacman.d/hooks/fix-appstream-data.hook
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/fix-appstream-data.hook is owned by libpamac-aur 11.7.4-1

The update-grub-config.hook is one I created to automatically run grubs commands after Grub is updated:

❯ cat  /etc/pacman.d/hooks/update-grub-config.hook
[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = grub

[Action]
Description = Reinstall Grub when the package is updated
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/grub-install --no-nvram && /usr/bin/grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"

OK, thanks.

So far I’m not sure why the error is shown, but it seems the error is nothing to worry about.
I have seen a similar error output in some of my old installs, but have never seen anything bad happening related to it.

Just for the record, can you show what

pacman -Q eos-reboot-recommended

says.

7

Here you go:

❯ pacman -Q eos-reboot-recommended
eos-reboot-recommended 25.11.2-1

Do you need the content of any of these files?

/usr/bin/eos-reboot-required2
/usr/bin/eos-reboot-required3
/usr/lib/systemd/system/eos-reboot-required.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/eos-reboot-required.timer
/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/eos-reboot-required.hook

I assume this install is from around 2021. My 2 other test laptops are newer installs (2025 + > 2021).

8

No, I assume they are up to date.

And do they show this error?

9

The other laptops have the same Zen and LTS kernels and they don’t show the error.

Thats why I would like to trace this problem and find the root cause.

10

@joekamprad

Just in case this helps, this laptop was using mkinitcpio. But then I switched to Dracut a couple years ago (when EndeavourOS made the recommendation).

11

I think the similar errors that I have seen have been related to systemd, and those VMs do not use dracut.

But now I’m not sure if I can find the VM that shows the error because I have so many of them, and have sometimes replaced a few VMs with a new install.

12

Since I have had the error twice since Dec 2, maybe I can help you trace it?

13

Sorry, not sure what you mean?

14

I’m saying that the error I reported just started happening around December 2, 2025. I update this system twice a week since 2021. My guess is a recent change is triggering the error.

That being said, if your not able to re-produce in your setup, I could use my setup to help you find the problem.

My gut feel has always been to do the root cause analysis to make sure we know the trigger of the error before summarily saying it is harmless.

15

To troubleshoot, maybe running pacman in debug mode to install e.g. linux or mesa might reveal more details about the error.

16

To confirm, I should run this and capture the terminal output:

pacman --debug -S linux linux-headers
17

Just linux is enough I think, yes.
Or maybe try it without debug first to see if the error message appears.

18

I ran:

pacman --debug -S linux linux-headers`

And did not get any errors for post transaction:

Thanks for the output! :+1:

Looks like eos-reboot-required2 returned an unsuccessful exit code under certain conditions when there was no error. So the error message was just a false alarm. This was caused by a recent change in that file.
Sorry about that, and thanks for helping me find the root cause for the (annoying and) unnecessary error message.

This will be fixed in package eos-reboot-recommended version 25.12-1.
