[SOLVED] AUR packages fail to upgrade

riddle00 · 2018-07-16 03:41:57

Hello, since I have installed Arch Linux, I always fail to update/upgrade my AUR packages. At first I was using yaourt, and the command

yaourt -Syyua --noconfirm

now I am using trizen, and the command

trizen -Syua --noconfirm

however, it always fails to upgrade all the packages from AUR. Therefore, I always uninstall these packages and install anew, to keep it more "Arch Linux" way.
Here are my first lines of the output of

➜  ~ trizen -Syua --noconfirm
:: pcmciautils was not found in AUR -- skipping
 1.       dropbox:      50.4.71-2 ==> 53.4.67-1
 2. google-chrome: 67.0.3396.62-1 ==> 67.0.3396.99-1

and here is the screenshot of the last lines of the failed upgrade output:

Should I upgrade the AUR packages one by one, or do something else. Please indicate if you need more information/output, I will post it.

[UPDATE1]: now I get this output:

:: pcmciautils was not found in AUR -- skipping
 1.       dropbox:      50.4.71-2 ==> 53.4.67-1
 2. google-chrome: 67.0.3396.62-1 ==> 67.0.3396.99-1

[UPDATE2]
Ok, I have now deleted the folders "dropbox", "google-chrome" from /tmp/trizen-riddle/, so the output is now again the same as in the screenshot.

1. Read the Code and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code

2. Do NOT post images of text; paste the actual text.

Please post the actual text, not just screenshots of the text. Also, the screenshots are too large, so please use thumbnails in the future.

Anyway, what happens when you don't use an aur helper? Try upgrading one of the packages manually and see if you get any errors.

Edit: I'm a little slooooooow today

Well, then, how do I upgrade an AUR package manually?

Ok, so the issue has been resolved after deleting "dropbox" and "google-chrome" folders from /tmp/trizen-riddle. Also, thank you for the information about upgrading AUR package manually.
