AUR has been broken in pamac-classic for a while now due to changes on Arch Linux's side of things. If anyone can fix and do a pull request, I will merge it. But right now I don't have time to investigate myself and is at the bottom of my priority list.
Why it doesn't display packages from AUR whenever there are such packages waiting to be updated? For instance, earlier today it displayed linux and linux-headers as waiting to be updated. When I ran the update command in terminal (I do the updates manually through CLI), the terminal showed that two AUR packages were also waiting to be updated: audacious-gtk3 and audacious-plugins-gtk3.
I have enabled search and check for updates from AUR, as well as AUR support and yet it never shows which AUR packages need to be updated, it only shows packages from the official repo.
@Bitts311 You should have a 'Preferences' item in the menu that opens when you click the icon in the title bar on the left with the current version. Settings are stored in dconf, not in a file. If you don't see that icon, try changing GTK theme.
Hi, which version of the program has a settings menu? In the latest version 7.3.0 I have no settings at all (maybe it should be like this?). Or do I need to create a config of settings and put it somewhere?
That worked! Thanks, sudobash418! :D
P.S. I've set checking for updates to happen every 3 hours, so I always have fully updated system. :)
@rado84 That's because the new version requires pacman >= 6.0, but the old version requires pacman < 6.0
makepkg doesn't quite know how to handle this situation properly, so you'll have to follow this procedure:
pacman -Sd pacmanpamac-classic to 7.3.0 with makepkg/<your preferred AUR helper other than pamac-classic>.As with any major version bump of a package manager, I would advise a full system update (-Syu) afterwards and a reboot to verify everything is working correctly.
Pamac-classic apears to have a new update: 7.3.0-2 but when I try to update it, I get this error:
[sudo] password for rado: :: pacman is in IgnorePkg / IgnoreGroup. To install? [Y / n] y solving dependencies ... search for conflicting packages ... error: failure to prepare the transaction (dependencies not resolved) :: installing pacman (6.0.0-3) breaks the 'pacman <6.0.0' dependency required by pamac-classic ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> Missing dependencies: -> pacman> = 6.0.0 ==> Checking buildtime dependencies ... ==> ERROR: Not all dependencies can be solved. :: Unable to build pamac-classic - makepkg exited with code: 8 = >> Try again? [y / N]:
What is "makepkg code 8"?
Yeah that is a good idea, thanks.
You should add pacman < 7.0.0 to the depends. Next time pacman has a big update it would obviously break pamac again.
@rado84, pamac and pamac-classic are not the same thing. Anything written about pamac does not apply to pamac-classic.
A new version should be coming soon which will fix pamac-classic with the new libalpm, just waiting on merging a pull request which adds a new feature that lets you store the packages built from the AUR in a directory of your choosing. Once that can be merged I will release the new version.
