I've just pushed 7.3.0-3, which includes the following (overdue) changes:

  • AUR support is now disabled (because it is currently broken upstream)
  • patches to support building against libalpm 14 (pacman 6.1)

There seem to be a few bugs related to downloading files still.

Unfortunately, I no longer use pamac-classic, nor do I have experience with Vala, nor do I have much time to investigate the cause of the bugs.

If anyone wants to take over maintainership (or be a co-maintainer) to fix these issues, let me know.

Probably related to this: https://git.cromer.cl/cromer/pamac-classic/issues/12

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.

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:

  1. Update pacman from 5.x to 6.x, ignoring the fact that this breaks pamac-classic: pacman -Sd pacman
  2. Update pamac-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.

Cromer commented on 2021-07-10 20:25 (UTC)

You should add pacman < 7.0.0 to the depends. Next time pacman has a big update it would obviously break pamac again.

Cromer commented on 2021-07-10 17:35 (UTC)

@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.

3 weeks ago Adrian Pereira said "pamac is now working on Arch" but he doesn't say if that means pamac can be compiled against pacman 6.0 (libalpm 13). https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1047#note_22236 Can anyone test it and see if it really works?

cromer commented 2 days ago https://git.cromer.cl/cromer/pamac-classic/issues/9

"Libalpm has many breaking changes in the new version, especially now that paralel downloads are available. It requires a lot of modification to pamac, and at the moment I don't have time to do it.

If anyone wants to do it, pull requests are welcome and I would be happy to merge it."

@rado84 If you're referring to the 7.2.1-1 to 7.2.1-2 pkgrel bump, then no - the only difference is that I added a restriction on the pacman version to the PKGBUILD.

As far as I am aware, upstream still needs to fix the incompatibility with pacman >= 6.0

edit: I've opened #9 upstream to report the issue.
