Complete system freeze on "Reloading system manager configuration"

I started experiencing a weird issue several days ago. My system completely freezes on every upgrade (pacman -Syu).
It comes to "Reloading system manager configuration" step and becomes completely unresponsive. I can't even change to another console with Ctrl+Alt+F#. The only way out is to hold the laptop power button and do hardware power down.
Not sure what to do or where to look. Any suggestions/ideas are welcome.

Re: Complete system freeze on "Reloading system manager configuration"

A possibility may be to upgrade as described here : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … an_upgrade

The hook that reloads system manager configuration should skip reloading , allowing the upgrade to go through.

That procedure is just a workaround though and may make things worse.

I'd prefer getting some info first. Please post  a full journal from the last crash and the content of /var/log/pacman.log since this started.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Hello,
I have the same problem as you for a few days.  But the workaround is not applicable on my vps.   
Do you know how I can debug and solve my freeze problem or how do you solve it ?  (pacman  step = Reloading system manager configuration freeze ")

Thanks in advance

Please don't necrobump, you unlikely face whatever happened 3 years ago.
