WARNING: '/usr/lib/perl5/5.34' contains data from at least 42[solved]

Hi,

When I run pacman -Syu I get following output:

WARNING: '/usr/lib/perl5/5.34' contains data from at least 42 packages which will NOT be used by the installed perl interpreter.
 -> Run the following command to get a list of affected packages: pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/5.34'

And I've read some threads containing information about that.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234597
https://archlinux.org/news/perl-library-path-change/
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=247784
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234597
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … les/391498

However, when I execute Pacman -Syu --ignore perl, I get this output and it ends as it should.

So do I need to remove perl or uninstall some packages? Or do I need to rebuild all affected packages AUR against the new perl? Should I upgrade to perl-gtk3? With your experience, what could be a solution?

Extremely old/broken mirror? Or a different distro?

Why are you not updating perl? Everything has updated to perl-5.34, but you are still using 5.32. The script that is supposed to warn you about old perl modules is now getting confused by old perl version. Does updating perl make this message go away?

Hi, thanks for the quick replies. I'm sorry it took me so long. I've had so many things come up. I guess, there's just been a lot going on in my mind lately. But it was so much easier than I thought it was going to be.

If I tried to install base-devel I got this:

I have never had a problem using Pacman to update my system, however I got this error:

:: installing perl (5.34.0-2) breaks dependency 'perl<5.33' required by glade-perl

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/glade-perl/

glade-perl is an AUR package that seems to be in conflict with the packages from official repositories, so I removed it.

$ sudo pacman -Rdd glade-perl

Packages (1) glade-perl-1.007-17

Total Removed Size:  0.04 MiB

(1/1) removing glade-perl                          [----------------------]

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aurman/
So I installed aurman and ran:

$ aurman -Syu --solution_way

https://pastebin.com/xC07iAd4

And I had to uninstall cryptomator and sublime-text-dev but it doesn't really matter because I don't need them anymore.
