Oh wait, you’re running standard Arch. Install rebuild-detector and then run the command if you want to see what packages you could rebuild with a new version of Python.
This happens to me a lot with proton-ge-custom, it shows it as foreign even after a rebuild, but sometimes it stops showing it, that package has some rust code in it too… Seems to me that this foreign detection is a bit of a hit and miss
I do not know if that’s the optimal thread to mention that suggestion.
It was quite surprising for me to find out that a python update could “break” my system.
Is there any ways EOS could automate the rebuilds?
Perhaps in welcome have an option to streamline the rebuild?
Could ALPM-SCRIPTLET modify the python scripts, when failing to launch the app, to either mention the welcome python rebuild menu option or even run the rebuild automatically?
This seems to work pretty well to resolve manually as an example…
I do not think it would be a good idea to do this without user intervention.
There is already rebuild-detector installed that give you a hint in the update terminal, the only thing i could think of would be a better message about this.
It looks a bit of a missing resolver in yay itself… because that’s not an issue with pacman in general. Arch does not support AUR helpers
Thanks, I was thinking of a solution with some prompts.
I missed the hint. What was I supposed to notice?
In practice I spent an entire hour between trying to figure out why the script was no longer running, looking at the pacman log, reading this thread, finding all the parts of autokey that needed update, etc.
This raises, from my perspective, the bar a notch higher in terms of the skillset required to run EOS.
Many topics/responses in this forum say that yay not only deals with AUR updates, but all updates by simply running yay in terminal. Perhaps if it were to be made clear that yay should not be used instead of, but in addition topacman, this (and similar update issues) might be less of a problem for EOS users (even if it is technically user error).
I’m not sure yay gives the necessary information whereas pacman does. At least that’s my understanding. If I am mistaken, I’m sure someone will be along to clarify.
