Right after seeing the error message I ran the command without issue.
“wget” service failed. Curious why it passed after I ran it to completion.
Could you give us the output of:
pacman -Qi wget

$ pacman -Qi wget installed it. I’m curious from first message. I no longer get that error even before I installed ‘wget’
It may be caused by a temporary github problem. Eos-update-notifier is trying to download a file with wget from github, and if the download fails, that error message is shown.
