Hi. I was trying to update, and the following happened. Also, my system has been very slow over the past few days. Thanks for any suggestions

looking for conflicting packages...
after that, the system fails to upgrade.
I already tried
sudo pacman -S qt
but it only produces more errors

Also, my system has been very slow over the past few days.
This makes me think your filesystem(s) could be full..
do the unopenable files (e.g. /var/lib/pacman/local/qt5-sensors-5.5.1-6/desc) actually exist on the filesystem, and are they readable?
Offline
Thanks for the response. I don't think this is the problem though.

Something is using my memory. Big time. When I run htop Mem shows the whole bar.

That looks bad. You may have a failing disk or a corrupted database.

Oh. I see. A quick google search seems to confirm that my system is about to die.
The good thing is that I already have everything backed up. Should I just replace the hard drive or you think this is calling for a new machine?
Offline
Well, I don't know about the condition of the rest of your machine, but ordinarily you would just replace the disk.
Offline
Do you really have 92G for /boot, or is something really screwed up there, too? If this involves more than one filesystem, I would definitely be looking at replacing the drive.

Failing drive was my second guess as well..
I'd run memtest a few times, and if it passes just fine, I'd be confident the machine is still in shape (apart from the disk) and just replace the hard drive.
