Instead, wait to upgrade until there is enough time available to resolve any post-upgrade issues. Avoid doing partial upgrades. In other words, never run pacman -Sy ; instead, always use pacman -Syu. Generally avoid using the --overwrite option with pacman. The --overwrite option takes an argument containing a glob. When used pacman will bypass file conflict checks for files that match the glob.
In a properly maintained system, it should only be used when explicitly recommended by the Arch developers. See the Read before upgrading the system section. Avoid using the -d option with pacman. As a result, a package providing a critical dependency could be removed, resulting in a broken system. Arch Linux is a rolling release distribution. That means when new library versions are pushed to the repositories, the developers and Trusted Users rebuild all the packages in the repositories that need to be rebuilt against the libraries.
For example, if two packages depend on the same library, upgrading only one package might also upgrade the library as a dependency , which might then break the other package which depends on an older version of the library. Always upgrade with pacman -Syu before installing a package. Note that if pacman -Syu does not perform the upgrade because of an error, the end result is the same as running pacman -Sy.
Therefore, the error must be resolved and the upgrade operation completed as soon as possible. Be very careful when using IgnorePkg and IgnoreGroup for the same reason. If the system has locally built packages such as AUR packages , users will need to rebuild them when their dependencies receive a soname bump. If a partial upgrade scenario has been created, and binaries are broken because they cannot find the libraries they are linked against, do not "fix" the problem simply by symlinking.
Libraries receive soname bumps when they are not backwards compatible. A simple pacman -Syu to a properly synced mirror will fix the problem as long as pacman is not broken. The bash script checkupdates , included with the pacman-contrib package, provides a safe way to check for upgrades to installed packages without running a system update at the same time.
When upgrading the system, be sure to pay attention to the alert notices provided by pacman. If any additional actions are required by the user, be sure to take care of them right away. If a pacman alert is confusing, search the forums and the recent news posts for more detailed instructions. When pacman is invoked,. Pacman provides notice when this happens and users must deal with these files promptly. I find Manjaro an excellent distribution.
If you find it difficult to install Arch Linux , you can try Manjaro Linux. It is based on Arch Linux but a lot more beginner-friendly. You can either click on the Menu icon on the left handside corner and type software update or you can navigate to the software update option as shown below.
My system is already up-to-date and no further action is needed. If there were any updates, you would see it here. I hope you like this quick little tip. His machines are powered by Arch Linux but curiosity drives him to constantly test other distros. Challenge is part of his personality and his hobby is to compete from 5k to the marathon distance. There is also a feature for that. You can use the IgnorePkg variable from your pacman. Details are here. Arch also has an lts kernel that is officially supported now.
Sounds like what you may be looking for. Its happened twice from updates for me, one was an issue with the kernel update i could fix be using an older one. The second time it wouldn't boot, with errors along the lines of "too many symbolic links" which i imagine was due to some link linking to itself or something - this also stopped me chrooting to roll back.
I spent ages and couldn't track it down so i just ended up reinstalling. I guess its just made me lose my nerve with updates, when i need my computer for work. I update once or twice a day, and rarely get breakages at all, some minor annoyances here and there. Am wondering what it is that breaks your system so bad you have to use a boot CD Allan-Volunteer on the topic being discussed mailn lists. You never get the people who matters attention on the forums. Maintaining Arch is a measure of your diligence.
