Today I updated my system by using sudo pacman -Syu and then rebooted as I always do. After reboot, I got a update notification for an AUR package needed to be updated. I checked using yay (which i never use) and apparently gtk-engine-murrine got moved to the AUR. gtk-engine-murrine got updated yesterday it seems. I didn’t update using yay. I hit ctrl-c at the first prompt. I don’t want to have to use yay. What am I suppose to do in this situation?
Check if something in your system is using that package:
pactree -r gtk-engine-murrine
If you don’t use AUR and have nothing else from there depending on this package, you could remove it. No packages from the official repos have (or at least should not) dependencies on AUR packages.
Thank you for the quick response. Here is the output I get:
[cc@computer ~]$ pactree -r gtk-engine-murrine
gtk-engine-murrine
That means nothing is dependent on it. You could remove it.
Because of the EOL of GTK2 a bunch of gtk2 packages were removed from the Arch repos.
That one being one of them and that one is in the AUR now.
Does it matter if its orphan or not? It doesn’t show on pacman -Qdt. Did i bork my system(partial upgrade) by ctrl-c at the first prompt on yay?
Just remove it and update your system.
I don’t think AUR packages (even if nothing is dependent on them) shows in the output of pacman -Qdt.
should i update system using sudo pacman -Syu before sudo pacman -R gtk-engine-murrine?
I doesn’t matter.
