Updated Arch, update didn't finish because of a naming issue in a file

Everything downloaded for the update, then when updating, I got this error message. Any time I open up a terminal this message populates and I can't Ctrl+c to kill the process and return to the command line:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/powerline-shell", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3251, in <module>

    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'powerline-shell==0.7.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Here's the contents of my /usr/bin/powerline-shell, which I think is what needs to be edited, but I'm not sure and I'd rather not screw something up further.

#!/usr/bin/python
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'powerline-shell==0.7.0','console_scripts','powerline-shell'
__requires__ = 'powerline-shell==0.7.0'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(
        load_entry_point('powerline-shell==0.7.0', 'console_scripts', 'powerline-shell')()
    )

Also because this prompt comes up every time I open a terminal I can't access vim as a superuser to edit this file. I can open Sublime through Rofi but not as a superuser.

[Solved]
git clone https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell
cd powerline-shell
python setup.py install

It's your job to manage AUR packages, not pacman's. It needs to be rebuilt against the new python librs.

If that's just garbage in your prompt, you can still type in commands after that backtrace. But more importantly, you can just change to a tty and log in as root.

I'm not sure exactly what this means. Should I wait for the developer to update their package then rebuild or should I manually change something in that file? I don't really understand the process of rebuilding a package against an updated library.

No, and no.

Just literally rebuild it. Retrieve the AUR sources (e.g., the PKGBUILD) then from within the directory with that PKGBUILD, `makepkg -si`. That's it. It's exactly the same as when you first installed the AUR package.

alright, so here's what I've done:

cd powerline-shell
git clone https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell.git
makepkg -si

The result is:

==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.

If you installed powerline-shell using sudo pip then you should remove it using pip then install it from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/powerline-shell/

synftw · 2019-11-21 03:15:21

python setup.py install fixed the issue entirely.

I saw that file but didn't know how to execute. Thanks for the help.

As you are installing files globally without using pacman please see Pacman#%22Failed_to_commit_transaction_(conflicting_files)%22_error
