ArchLinux Pi-hole is not officially supported by Pi-hole project. In case of bugs and malfunctions please DO NOT file a report upstream.

First of all check if the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole) can help then ask here for assistance and tips.
When it will be excluded that the problem does not depend on ArchLinux we will file a bug upstream.

@graysky in post_update e post_install:

echo -e "\e[1;33m==>\e[0m Updating 'versions' file...\e[0m"
sudo -u pihole bash /opt/pihole/updatecheck.sh;

/etc/pihole/versions is automatically updated by that script...

graysky commented on 2025-03-30 19:21 (UTC)

@max - /etc/pihole/versions needs an update for this release (minor but reporting anyway).

max.bra commented on 2025-03-22 08:56 (UTC)

oops, sorry

@max.bra do you forget the first part of the patch? (systemctl stop)

max.bra commented on 2025-03-19 22:19 (UTC)

@disprofarma done, thanks for reporting

Hi @max.bra, the file /opt/pihole/piholeARPTable.sh ("pihole arpflush" command) needs a tweak to work:

@graysky

Likely your problem. Build the three packages with makepkg and install them with pacman. AUR helpers rarely help.

Could you clarify what AUR helpers are doing that would cause issues and be different from just makepkg -si? I don't really run into issues with AUR helpers, besides maybe having to clean-build every once in a blue moon.

Also, unfortunately, installing the 3 packages that way did not fix the problem in my specific case. Any other ideas?

all update status management is handled through the /etc/pihole/versions file

$ ls -l /etc/pihole/
....
-rw-r--r-- 1 pihole pihole     366 Mar  5 22:32 versions

$ cat /etc/pihole/versions 
CORE_VERSION=6.0.5
CORE_BRANCH=master
CORE_HASH=builtfromreleasetarball
GITHUB_CORE_VERSION=v6.0.5
GITHUB_CORE_HASH=9fe687bd
WEB_VERSION=6.0.2
WEB_BRANCH=master
WEB_HASH=builtfromreleasetarball
GITHUB_WEB_VERSION=v6.0.2
GITHUB_WEB_HASH=25441178
FTL_VERSION=v6.0.4
FTL_BRANCH=master
FTL_HASH=builtfromreleasetarball
GITHUB_FTL_VERSION=v6.0.4
GITHUB_FTL_HASH=b7eb53bf

during installation, upgrade and from time to time is runned

sudo -u pihole bash /opt/pihole/updatecheck.sh

i am firmly convinced that for some reason your /etc/pihole/versions file is not being updated. it cannot be otherwise.

graysky commented on 2025-03-06 13:47 (UTC)

@max.bra - even though 6.0.5-1 is installed, the footer of web GUI reports:

Core 6.0.4FTL v6.0.4Web interface 6.0.1

I updated the system via the paru aur helper,
