Hello everybody!

I'm having some problems on pamac 10.4 used on ArchLinux with DDE 20.2. Can you read the report I created here and check the possibility of correction?

Pamac 10.4 causing crash when searching for conflicts between applications in ArchLinux DDE 20.2

https://github.com/linuxdeepin/developer-center/issues/3219

Thank you in advance for your attention

Pamac-aur notification icon is not working with Gnome 42. See https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1252

@G3r0

It's OK.

The jump was to match Manjaro's release numbers.

From now on AUR will use its own numbering.

Nothing to cause a scandal, it's not a big problem and does not involve a bug...

Best regards

@Cromer: Your info is incorrect. libpamac was released in last november, see: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/libpamac/-/commits/master/

pkgrel jumped from 0 to 4, which is also incorrect. I assume that this is the manjaro versioning, as they probably had multiple new releases. Here it should be 1.

@G3ro

A new version of libpamac was released(11.2). This package is linked against libpamac, obviously the pkgrel was forced to be bumped to rebuild it with the new library.

The maintainer did everything correctly.

I don't want to be the killjoy here, but I think we should discuss some things:

1. The release number (pkgrel) should only be increased by one with each release, as it is an internal Arch number and should probably not be a Manjaro number or something similar. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#pkgrel

2. Actually there was no new upstream release yet, so a new downstream release here might be wrong, the -git package can cover that instead. See: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/releases

If you have problems with this -> ERROR: Unknown options: "enable-appindicator" then just downgrade meson to version 0.59.3, v.0.60 breaks pamac-aur and pamac-all

I get an error during update of pamac-aur:

../meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unknown options: "enable-appindicator"

Thx to Belatrox, downgrading meson to my last version (0.59.1) fixed the problem!

News: After installing the latest version of meson (0.60.0-2) and installing latest pamac-aur 10.2.2-3 package this problem doesn't exist anymore.

Guys, this is the upstream issue https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1122
Stop insulting the package.

@Zeph I tried your fix dated 6/10/21 but can't remove pamac as I get:

error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Had to grab the libalpm.so.12 files from a 5.x version of pacman and drop them in usr/lib. Then I could:

yay -Rncs pamac-aur
yay -S pamac-aur

@tigr72 create issues on https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac

In the settings, the cache size always shows 0 files, 0 bytes and the button for clearing the cache is not active

Thank you Zeph, I did as you said: yay -Rncs pamac-aur yay -S pamac-aur All good now.

pamac-alll is working perfectly with libpamac-full!! I just had to remove pamac-aur before getting the new packs.

Thanks @Zeph .. I already removed and reinstalled pacman and now everything works very well for me

removed pamac-aur today and installed pamac-all with libpamac-full. Works like a charm, thanks to @FredBezies

You need to remove pamac-aur before update You can use tool yay

• yay -Rncs pamac-aur
• yay -S pamac-aur

If you don't have the list available package, reinstall archlinux-appstream-data

confirming the combo from @lenhuppe ... this worked well:

• archlinux-appstream-data
• libpamac-aur
• pamac-aur

I've used pacman for archlinux-appstream-data and aur for the latter 2 https://github.com/WebReflection/archibold.io/blob/master/utils/aur

A new version is out, but you need to use either libpamac or libpamac-full (adding snap and flatpak) to get pamac working with pacman 6.0.

I updated pamac-aur-git, pamac-all and pamac-all-git to work with pacman 6.0

See here: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1047#note_22204

And here: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/tags/v10.1.3

@darklyn3r Pamac currently does not work with the newest pacman version, so the only option is to wait for an update.

I have this error when running 'pamac': pamac: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@Zeph you should change the dependency from pacman>=5 to libalpm.so=12-64 , because right now it's a false dependency.

All pamac PKGBUILD will be broken with pacman 6.0 until this bug is fixed:

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1047

Pacman was updated recently and there are some breaking changes in libalpm, so pamac does not work.

I'm getting the following error trying to install any pamac package out there:

Run-time dependency gio-unix-2.0 found: YES 2.68.2

Hello, this need to be called pamac

I see a chicken/egg issue here ... if pamac is blocked in AUR how is pamac supposed to update to any version that would solve the issue?

Anyway, I am using this aur utility to actually install pamac-aur (it's like using IE to install Chrome ^_^;;) https://github.com/WebReflection/archibold.io/blob/master/utils/aur

The site is reachable via https too, so to grab it: curl -LO https://archibold.io/utils/aur and then chmod +x aur

It offers few helpers, including aur --list and aur --update ... but eventually, once latest pamac-aur is published, and the issue solved, it could be used as one-off to aur pamac-aur (or even for testing).

I know everyone can also do the manual dance (suggested by others in the forum as well) but for lazy people I hope this helps a bit to update, at least, packages otherwise, in case it's needed, and GNOME Software is not around.

@Daniikk1012 pamac is currently blocked from AUR More here: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1017

It seems like the new version does not work with AUR (Cannot find any packages or update the ones I already have installed)

@FredBezies this patch is include in V10.0.99 (V10.1.0beta)

You'll need this patch to get a working tray icon withg Gnome 40: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/commit/93fefcdfedc0ae4b54f95f6b19341d73417f209c

Ah thank you It's always weird to me, if a project violates semantic versioning

@MartinX3 yes is 10.1.0beta2 the package will be rated 10.1.0 in final version

Thank you for fixing it.

But is it normal, that "10.0.99" turned into "10.1.0beta"?

When fcitx5 is running (even in English mode) and pamac is running in KDE plasma, press one key returns two letters in search bar (say, press "pac" returns "ppaacc"). I wonder it is a fcitx issue or pamac issue. After I quit fcitx5, it seems all right.

PKGBUILD for pamac-aur 10.0.99-1 is missing dependency libhandy

Hi, pamac-aur don't wont to compile. Solved by pamac dev team on lastest git. So pamac-aur-git works for now.

I found the issue has been reported to the upstream.

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/990

I'm having the exact same problem as posted by @hayao on 2021-03-18

The latest version of vala seems to be causing errors with the build process, a workaround for this issue would be to downgrade vala, I have successfully built pamac-aur using vala-0.46.6-1-x86_64, however there may be other versions that would work as well.

I'm having trouble with the following build error Are there any missing dependencies or solutions?

@afsn [archlinuxcn] hosts this package

Hi, is it possible to provide a binary version package? (something like pamac-bin)

Thanks !

pamac-tray-appindicator has been replaces by pamac-tray-icon-plasma for plasma desktop.

I create compatible pamac-tray-icon-plasma pkgbuild to AUR.

Repo: https://github.com/ZorinArch/pamac-tray-icon-plasma

@Zeph you can use this build and maintain it.

Is there a way to re-enable the tray appindicator? Cheers!

Using arch linux with gnome here. Everything updated. When trying to update the pamac-aur here, there is an error in the compilation and what I see here is an error:

Currently pamac-aur requires an asciidoc package, so please add it to the dependencies to avoid building issues.

Kind regards,

Please add 'asciidoc' as make dependency

Installing asciidoc 9.0.4-2 fixes Program a2x found: NO

Thank you @Yorper, @FredBezies

Got this error:
ERROR: Program 'a2x' not found

You need asciidoc to build pamac 10.0.

Program a2x found: NO

For anyone else getting the following error with 10.0.0

"Program a2x found: NO

Make sure you have "asciidoc" installed. Would be nice if this was added to the build requirements.

Fix the f***n freezing issue as already mentioned

patched archlinux-appstream-data with reference to Zeph's comment. You can use this package to fix an issue where the category is empty.

This package.

Today the manjaro server is up again.

So... Anyone has an idea why the primary source throws a 404?

@johngavr Server https://gitlab.manjaro.org/ is down

Wrong URL for the pamac tar.gz.

Please update the package!!

Can confirm i am also stuck on “synchronizing packages”

ISSUE: Some stuff installs fine, other stuff, usually Larger apps it hangs on “synchronizing packages” and just completely freezes the app. Installing those same packages through terminal works fine. Also tried Pamac-AUR on other arch distros and it also freezes on them too other than Manjaro. Not sure what the problem is but please fix.

@underscore3rik, my recommendation is simply to wait for maintainer to get the package updated. This usually takes very few days and it's 99.99% of time perfectly fine to do so.

If you still want to upgrade the package yourself, it usually only requires 2 simple steps:

• Set the wanted version in the PKGBUILD file in line #8.
• Run the updpkgsums command in the directory where the PKGBUILD file is.

From there you should be ready to build the package with makepkg or whatever tool you prefer. If you have any issues at this point, just wait for the maintainer to get the package updated.

I hope it helps!

This is how to update to the latest version when this package is out of date: Open the PKGBUILD and change the "pkgver" string to the latest version, for example: "pkgver=9.5.6" -> "pkgver=9.5.7" Also change the "_commit" string to "master, for example: "_commit='ba16075d617e3bfe356b28da03a3343f5f3d993c'" -> "_commit='master'" Finally, either change the sha256sums string to the sha256 sum for the latest version, or add "sha256sums=('SKIP')" after the "source" line (around line 32)

no package found is fixed in this one "https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur-git/" . please update the package.

@xSALVOx ( is it possible to add the pamac-gnome-integration package? ) I thought it already intergrated well with gnome !!

pamac-gnome-integration is included in pamac-aur

is it possible to add the pamac-gnome-integration package?

Hi, recently, pamac started showing 'No package found' in the Browse tab. Search is working correctly but, it is not showing package icons like it used to, before. Any solutions?

Thanks for that, it works great! I still have a question : since I have enabled some additional repositories containing binary packages for pamac-aur, I wonder how to automate the update process if possible. Because when there is an update available on these repositories, after the update I loose flatpak ans snap support, and I have to re-install from AUR "manually".

V9.4.1 : Optional flatpak and/or snapd plugin, edit PKGBUILD and modify line 4 and/or 5

ENABLE_FLATPAK=0
ENABLE_SNAPD=0

to

ENABLE_FLATPAK=1
ENABLE_SNAPD=1

In manjaro this package corresponds to this pamac-common+pamac-cli+pamac-gtk
And optionally pamac-snap-plugin pamac-flatpak-plugin

Just for clarification, what is the relationship of this package with pamac-gtk. This one seems to have been in the AUR for a longer time while the other one seems to be maintained by Manjaro crew but, other than that, I'm confused about which one to install.

Open issue in https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac for build pamac and plugin in separate package
Issue : Plugin build

V9.4.0-6

• remove flatpak dependency.
• remove pamac-flatpak-plugin

separate package is good idea pamac-flatpak-plugin and pamac-snap-plugin, but can't build pamac with support plugin without makedepends flatpak, snapd ... it's not really plugin for me

@Zeph thank you for your job (not kidding)! But there is a problem now. Version 9.4.0-4 brought flatpak dependency. And now it becomes optional. Its okay.

But, flatpak still described as a straight dependency for my pamac setup (after update to 9.4.0-4 and then to 9.4.0-5 without changes to pkgbuild). So I have no flatpak option in pamac, but have flatpak dependency anyway. And when I try to remove flatpak package, it tries to remove pamac as well (as depended on). It becomes wierd. FYI.

Personally, I like to have flatpak and snap enabled also. In manjaro, they have two separate packages, pamac-flatpak-plugin and pamac-snap-plugin. Maybe a solution to satisfy everyone?

Zeph

V9.4.0-5 : Optional flatpak

Thank you very much.

/I just don't need flatpak

I think flatpak is still there, @line 20 :(

Guessing there is no chance of making flatpak an optional dependency? Its something a lot of people will probably never use.

I know it will be difficult as your post install steps would need to check for it somehow.

edit: ignore me, this isn't a binary package... doh!

Pamac 9.4.0-4 last fix + enable flatpak you can activate in settings

Failure to download pending package updates in the background.

Download updates in background

DownloadUpdates

seems to be enabled. This used to download the updates right after checking for available updates (I have check set for 1 hour intervals). It no longer doing the downloads until pamac is opened and an update is requested. Things are working, but I have a slow internet connection and having to wait for all the updates to download seems like a big step backwards. Has anybody else noticed this change in the last few months? cheers

Pamac display empty results when browsing categories

Issue : https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/issues/772

You can fix by downgrade archlinux-appstream-data or use this command :

zcat /usr/share/app-info/xmls/community.xml.gz | sed 's|<em>||g;s|<\/em>||g;' | gzip > "new.xml.gz"
sudo cp new.xml.gz /usr/share/app-info/xmls/community.xml.gz
sudo appstreamcli refresh-cache --force

for appastreamcli install package appstream

lol I was wondering why Categories wasn't working!!! TY for the info. I renamed the file and it's working again, but I'm not sure exactly what these files are for. I wonder if the Manjaro guys have this bug too?

There is a bug in archlinux-appstream-data-20200315-1 that causes pamac to display empty results when browsing categories. The offending file is /usr/share/app-info/xmls/community.xml.gz.

v9.3.93 build with vala 0.48 OK (9.4.0 release candidate 3)

@jaturon2526, as below, it's a known issue currently with Vala 0.47 and above. See https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/issues/735#note_15381

You can downgrade to Vala < 0.47, build Pamac and then update Vala to get around it for now.

Can someone tell me why I keep getting pacman and pacmac out of sync? Pamac is showing updates and pacman isn't. Do they not use the same mirrors ?? Does pacmac use http mirrors also because this is all I have marked.

@agentcobra We clearly have seen it. Following those instructions didn't fix this build. They changed it so that libx11 now depends on xorgproto again though, so it's not likely anyone will get that build error any more.

@webreflection see https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-cleanup-requires-manual-intervention/

fwiw, I agree with what friday said, as this doesn't build anymore as is due xorgproto missing

I think xorgproto should be listed as a make dependency until the point it's no longer needed to build pamac. Pretty sure it's not needed to run pamac.

I guess it should be deleted as dependency, because Xorg havn,t need it anymore as dependency.

on a clean GNOME install, this package doesn't build anymore because it's missing xorgproto so ... I guess it should be added as dependency

@j1simon: with pacman 5.2 you need both commits:

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/commit/d19dec498ce5bc037c44eb3e2b2df59d46941213

and

incremental updates worked well, but I couldn't update a PC left without updates for a little while ... I ended up using pamac-aur-git instead, which built just fine.

I'll try to go back to regular pamac-aur soon, but "not today".

It lacks the option --buildtype=release in meson line to disable debug options.

I finally tracked down this bug. It was due to the package mesa-aco-git. After installing standard mesa, gtk+-3.0 is found again and Pamac builds without problem.

Looks like the latest issue was fixed. Zeph, can you update this?

i have found that this application compiles and installs without issues. i used makepkg -si to compile and install this app.

however, i am facing hanging issues when it comes to using trizen in pamac-aur. however, when i run in a commandline the trizen app, there is no problem.

when i try to rerun the installation i get the error:

It also depends on glibc.

For Pamac issues please see with developers on GitLab project : https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/issues

Having the same issue as edwong. For now, I'm using yay until there's another release.

If Pamac is absolutely necessary though, you'll have to roll back to the previous version: 4724b9f6ef12

When using 8.0 beta, pamac only build the AUR package than stop, package not auto install,then I install 7.4 old package but without any problem. Anyone know why?

To solve the download cycling, reduce the number of parallel downloads to 0 in settings.

Currently pamac GUI is not working at all. It keeps cycling through package downloads again and again. When I abort, it forgets to remove the package database lock file.

with new version 7.4.0-1 pamac says "wrong password" but my password works fine with command line.

Still cycling through packages over and over and never completes:

Add new package, test :

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-cli/

So I need to make a pamac arch package without gtk3 dependency, so without pamac-manager etc. I don't want to install gtk3 in a cli installation I guess is possible.

pamac a cli

pamac-manager a GTK3 frontend

You can use pamac in command line :

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac

@blackhole Neither pamac-aur nor pamac-classic could be used in a headless system. Pamac is a graphical frontend for pacman.

If I want to install a version for headless systems without graphical Desktop, is the pamac-classic the right version? I see that version number is different

something's broken since the last update, pamac just circles through a small number of packages:

If you want to upgrade to pamac 7.3.5 you'll need to go up to this commit for vala 0.44.0: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/commit/a1ea02d9180bf8708f40a50939f455ac5fe34435

Do not try to build it against Vala 0.44.0... https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/issues/577

Installed downgrade from AUR Then in terminal downgrade vala and picked vala 0.42.3-2 ... Pamac was able to build once again...

Note: you cannot be able to build pamac-7.3.4 with vala 0.42.5: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/issues/561

@pillgar: just set parallel download to 0.

See this issue: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/issues/523

Since upgrading to 7.3, I get "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" warning popup. Though the download/update's do complete successfully, I think it might be a false flag. It doesn't seem to be reproducible in previous versions or using a terminal.

Hey, is it possible to add a desktop entry for pamac-manager? Would be quite useful

@blackhole: Use issue on repo for software error

@j0hannes: just open a bug on pamac bug tracker. More useful than posting a comment here.

See https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/issues

My /tmp partition (tmpfs) has a size of 7.6 GB. Installing big packages with pamac makes my machine unresponsive and eventually leads to segfaults and reboot (if the fakeroot environment grows bigger than the available space in /tmp.

Downloading the snapshot and making the package in a different location manually is a workaround, but do I need to see my system crashing to realize that a package probably won't build in /tmp? Could pamac maybe monitor the available space there and cancel its build process when it's running low? Maybe also offering the user to build it again in a different location?

Uninstalled with "aurman -Rnsuv pamac-aur" and inslled again with "aurman -S pamac-aur". Worked fine.

Same as andrelevou1980.

An error occurred while updating: The transaction is not ready

Yep missing gobject-introspection as compilation depends

Same as bertof, just googled g-ir-compiler and found: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gobject-introspection/ Installed and moved on.

Mason is complaining about a missin g-ir-compiler. Maybe a missing build dependency? i suppose gobject-introspection is the one.

Hi guys, I've just installed Pamac, the workaround I found was to install all of the dependencies by separated 1 by 1 (quite tedious I know), I followed the above list "dependencies (22)" and at the end pacaur -S pamac-aur. The package compiled correctly with no errors.

Understood, a possibility would be to ask arch devs for a virtual provide, say polkit-agent . All polkit authentication agents then should provide it. No idea if they would accept it though.

@Lone_Wolf, that won't solve the deps issue. It needs a polkit agent, not pure polkit.

Cromer says :

If pacman had rich dependencies this could be resolved, but that is a limitation > of pacman.

Or you look for something all those have in common and have this package depend on https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/polkit/

@Cromer: yes well, if that's a limitation of pacman then that's an opportunity for a package manager.. the only reason I would want a package manager is that it shows the 'lxsession (lxsession-git) (optional) – needed for authentification in Xfce, LXDE etc.' line in my face and gives the option to install it right away.. so long pamac - I seriously dislike the gtk3 interface anyways..

You'll need soon to change project URL. This one is new one: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac

You can read this on github.com url:

"This repo has been archived. Our code is now hosted at

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/

See you there!"

@MindConsumer, it is impossible to be a real dependency. I use cinnamon which means that I need "polkit-gnome" you are using stand-alone compiz which means you need "lxsession", or people that use mate need "mate-polkit", etc. I don't want all of those installed obviously since I only need one of them(polkit-gnome). It is the responsibility of the person installing pamac to install the correct one needed for their system based off what they have installed.

If pacman had rich dependencies this could be resolved, but that is a limitation of pacman.

Still?! :: pkgbrowser: installing pacman (5.1.0-2) breaks dependency 'pacman<5.1'

@Cromer: tnx for the clarification. I had to install the optional dependency: "lxsession - needed for authentification in Xfce, LXDE etc."

Anyone noticed the option "Clean Cache" under preferences, is not working? Is this upstream bug?

6.4.0 is out with pacman 5.1.0 support.

https://github.com/manjaro/pamac/releases/tag/v6.4.0

A nice software , make me install software easily.But I like old version better.

I can confirm thar new pacman update breaks pamac-aur, even 6.3.3-1 version.

Latest Pacman update breaks this.... Hold back the update of pacman and all seems well...

pamac is incorrectly reporting no updates for the past week or so

@MindfulConsumer: that is not the solution. The problem is either a missing polkit application or it is not configured correctly. All of the root related tasks need to go through polkit, so if you don't have a polkit agent installed/configured, obviously it won't work. For example in mate you would use mate-polkit, or in cinnamon you would use polkit-gnome, etc.

@qp1903265: the problem is in the pamac-manager.desktop file.. without root permissions the program is unable to do anything so maybe change it to open with gksu? ergo change the line 'Exec=pamac-manager' into 'Exec=gksu pamac-manager' makes it work for me..

@MindfulConsumer: Maybe remove pamac-aur and try pamac-aur-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur-git/ and see if it fixes the issue for you?

Everything in the menu works except for Preferences.. no Preferences window no chance for me to change the behaviour in the search bar to only start searching when I hit enter.. You guys can just open the Preferences window just fine?

@Zeph:

It looks like you have not fixed the systemd timers as per:

https://github.com/manjaro/packages-extra/commit/efd130f5d294fd8c2a098d3101118e1ca457f66f

Which apparently results in:

https://github.com/manjaro/pamac/issues/331

Could you please fix it?

OK : Fix sha256sums, V6.2.6 has been overwritten on repository

'updpkgsums' instead of 'makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD' shows that checksum in PKGBUILD should be: sha256sums=('73c968445ea78b0050b27a44bd634a39a20571d2d80c6bbaa05d6f46fcb1ba0b')

Validating source files with sha256sums... pamac-6.2.6-1.tar.gz ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

How to get/find the latest pkg.tar of pamac-aur, which had a great window manager classic bar? I just hate GNOME-like all-in-one bar, I just want pamac as before, with my window manager.

Why does pamac report updates to some lib32 packages while pacman does not?

Hi, someone fixed my problem, I did again "yaourt -S pamac-aur" and it compiled and installed without error. Or maybe it is because I booted with Linux4.14 LTS. Maybe it was problem of 4.15 kernel version.

Anyway, thanks!

For Pamac issues please see with developers : https://github.com/manjaro/pamac/issues

Pamac is unable to detect updates.

I had this same problem but I didn't have Infinality installed. I had freetype2-ubuntu.

Switching back to vanilla Freetype2 fixed the problem as per scorpius2k1's instructions below:

sudo pacman -S fontconfig freetype2 cairo lib32-fontconfig lib32-cairo lib32-freetype2

[...]

I also switched my freetype2 interpreter by editing /etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh and uncommenting the last line, making sure it reads: export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=40"

Restart.
