@DiV21dSREL I had almost the exact same issue: after the Manjaro update on 29/09/25 I was unable to access /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase, although its parent directory was accessible. After a fair bit of debugging (rebuilding cvmfs with debug symbols; setting CVMFS_HTTP_TRACING=on and specifying CVMFS_DEBUGLOG in /etc/cvmfs/default.local), it finally clicked for me that the offending package must be curl, as it got stuck waiting for the response from cvmfs servers. It also lines up with the fact that curl was upgraded from version 8.15 to 8.16 with the Manjaro update. After downgrading curl to version 8.15 (with sudo manjaro-downgrade curl if you're on Manjaro), I was able to access cvmfs just like before the update.

I also ran git bisect between tags 8.15 and 8.16 in the curl repo to figure out the commit that broke cvmfs. The offending commit happens to be this one, which is part of this PR. Following the discussion there, it seems that the PR introduced a regression in curl, which effectively caused it to run into a deadlock in some scenarios (cf this issue for details). The bug was fixed 2 weeks ago, and the problem is now gone with the current master branch. So we'll just have to wait for the next release of curl.

TLDR: downgrade curl to version 8.15; skip 8.16; wait for version 8.17.

Hi Sebastien, Are you still working on the package or would you like to orphan it? I have an updated version for the current cvmfs release, which also takes care of some of the configuration steps automatically: http://fsiegert.web.cern.ch/fsiegert/tmp/cvmfs-2.1.19-1.src.tar.gz But I don't think I am allowed to upload it to AUR as long as you are the Maintainer. Cheers, Frank
