Pamac update issue after pacman update to version 7

General system Pacman
1

// moderation note: moved from here: Pacman 7.0.0.r3.g7736133-1 update - #39 //

The workaround for yay does build here, but running it, I get errors.
I believe it never completes the operation of updating the files.
I usually use PARU, so the output is unfamiliar to me with yay.

It tries to load, unzip and install libpamac-11.6.4-4.tar.gz, but never gets it done:

Something wrong with dependencies.

Uninstall pamac, wait until maintainers update ‘libalpm.so=14’ to ‘libalpm.so=15’ then reinstall pamac.

I know PARU isn’t fixed yet, but running it gives the same error:

sudo pacman -Rs libpamac-aur

A little confusing, possibly I don’t have the right designation for the pamac package?

sudo pacman -Rs pamac-aur

Yes, that worked, now I just wait on the maintainers…

So the breakage was in two places?

Yay & paru

and then pamac-aur? (Dependency?)

I haven’t retried this yet.

Sorry, I was referring to libpamac-aur (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpamac-aur). I manually built it and works fine here. If you want, you can get the compiled package from my profile

How did you get around this?

Sorry, I don’t understand? This is about libpamac, not pacman.
I did not have any conflicts with pacman…

edit: well, I removed pamac-aur and libpamac before the upgrade to pacman 7, then reinstalled

Yes, updated pacman7 yesterday after removing pamac (sudo pacman -Rs pamac-aur). Then just reinstalled pamac seeing that it was updated ~ 5 hours ago.

No this is what comes up when you try to install libpamac-aur!

I just tried and it doesn’t work because of this pacman-git and pacman error related to the build. I’ll try again or another pamac version.

Edit: Moved here to proper topic.

I have the updated pacman 7 but it seems to me that the builds for pamac are using pacman-git as i tried another version of pamac and got the same result. So i don’t think the AUR packages have been updated yet. :thinking: Don’t really know,

Okay: So I thought about it and used a different command to install it thinking about what you said that it was updated 5 hours ago.

Sometimes it’s necessary to update the mirrors in order to get the updated packages. I didn’t do that but it probably also would have worked. Instead i used the following command and it installed no problem.

yay -Syu pamac-aur

I just used this command after refreshing all the mirrors from the Welcome app, seemed to all work, but it looped a lot, redid some of the same operations a couple of times. Very strange.

It did finish though.

Then I retried yay and that command seems to be gone!

[mark@mark-optiplex9020 ~]$ yay
yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[mark@mark-optiplex9020 ~]$ yay
yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[mark@mark-optiplex9020 ~]$

Seems like something is not fixed somewhere as I’m back where I started.

@ricklinux

So to uninstall pamac i just sudo pacman -Rs pamac-aur

to install after i just yay -Syu pamac-aur

I think i have the git version though, not sure IF that matters?
