I dont know how to get out of this update hell.

gentoofag · 2020-10-22 05:43:41

So I have this box that's working fine but seems like it's a pain to update it.

I don't know what i need and what I don't need here. I think there was a few things I wanted to keep for games and stuff to still function but I forgot all of that. Otherwise it works just fine and according to the mantra "if it ain't broke don't fix it" I don't need to do anything.

GaKu999 · 2020-10-22 06:00:45

How long have you been without updating?
You reaaally need to fix your mirrorlist...

What’s with archlinuxfr?

seth · 2020-10-22 07:57:33

What’s with archlinuxfr?

https://afur.archlinux.fr/ - typically a manjaro thing that used to provide yaourt (the worst AUR wrapper before it got dropped and replaced by even worse AUR wrappers…)

As you noticed: that's not a good idea with a rolling release distro.

:: installing xorgproto (2020.1-1) breaks dependency 'dmxproto' required by libdmx
:: installing xorgproto (2020.1-1) breaks dependency 'xf86dgaproto' required by libxxf86dga
Are explaind in not so recent news on the homepage, perl-gtk2-unique and yey are AUR packages you best remove and re-install after the update (if you need them) and python2-pyqt5 seems gone for good

gentoofag · 2020-10-22 20:00:08

Now I'm just getting this

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing pyqt5-common breaks dependency 'pyqt5-common' required by python2-pyqt5

seth · 2020-10-22 20:02:56

And pyqt5-common isn't in any repo either…

Trilby · 2020-10-22 20:03:49

And what about the questions you were asked? Did you resolve every other problem? How / what have you done exactly? Your last error is pretty self explanatory - python2-pyqt5 is not a repo package (anymore?), so you need to take care of that yourself (most likely by removing it).

I removed yay, perl-gtk2-unique, libdmx, and libxxf86dga.
I think I remove python2-pyqt5. I think I'll keep it in a .tar package or something. any suggestions?

I'm not sure what this means. You want to keep python2-pyqt5 in a .tar package? 1) why? 2) how/huh?

If you feel you need python2-pyqt5 for something, keeping around the old one will do you no good, you'll need to rebuild it (potentially after updating the old PKGBUILD).

I'm just hesitant about this stuff because I know things just miraculously disappear on the internet for some reason. And I tend to not be lucky enough to have this much internet and tend to go long bouts without access to it.

seth · 2020-10-22 20:46:06

The reason is probably that they're no longer used/required - look at the output of "pacman -Qi python2-pyqt5".
Edit: python2-pyqt5 was dropped from extra somewhen before december last year.

The version of pacman you have is too old to successfully update the system as well. You'll need to use pacman-static, or pacman with the --sysroot option from an install disk; or you can reinstall all packages after you get the update run to rerun the hooks.

Realistically, if you're going to wait this long between updates, take this opportunity to wipe the disk and install a different distro. Arch doesn't like to be neglected.

With Scimmia,

Arch is a rolling distro, keeping it in sync with remote repos is easy, trying to keep it working trough long offline periods is up to you and ask more of your knowledge. There's a (very) little more chance you ruin your install this way, however most everything is solvable if you have an ISO you can bootup, unless you went away for 6 years, but even then... ther's always https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive. But hey, you need to dive into the wiki to solve your issues instead of letting them get solved by other members, your the one that ultimately choice the path down into the rabbithole 'Alice', not us... no pun intended;)

If you can't or won't keep up with the repos a different distro with say half or even one or three year release pattern would be a reasonable choice.

This says something about mirrorlist right. The last two replies wasn't helpful. What do you do?

No nothing to do with the mirrorlist. Update archlinux-keyring first, if you have not followed Scimmia's advise and the required manual interventions on the front page expect to still have a broken system.

Okay is this the command to do that?

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

if so then I have

gpg: keyserver refresh failed: General error
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver

gentoofag · 2020-10-23 18:39:44

Tried this too

No update the archlinux-keyring package first on its own. The default gpg server pool pacman-key uses is overloaded.
Edit:
Ah we were posting at the same time. What is the contents of /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf?

Add at the end

keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net

Then kill any running directory manager with

# killall dirmgr

Then try installing the archlinux-keyring package again and see if it can fetch the key now.
