home-assistant fails to start properly after update

Hi, I recently did a system update and since then home-assistant ceased to work. I'm not sure where to continue my search or what might be causing the issues specifically.

Here is a snippet of the journal (complete log here):

The packages that home-assistant tries to install are already installed via pacman, albeit a different version than hass tries to install, or are not available through pacman (like hass-nabucasa). Of course the output says to not install packages outside of the package manager so I didn't. I believe Nabu Casa is not a requirement to run home-assistant, if it isn't installed.

The wiki says to run

# rm -r /var/lib/hass/deps/lib

and then (re)start home-assistant, but I tried that a few times, but that method didn't work. I restarted 3 times and got the above output.

How can I proceed with troubleshooting?

Re: home-assistant fails to start properly after update

It's still not starting correctly due to this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78824

As a workaround, I have left home-assistant at 1:2023.5.4-1 and python at 3.11.3-1 until the package is fixed.

Yikes, it still hasn't been fixed, and it has been broken for about a month

About two months later, and this blocking bug still hasn't been fixed

Re: home-assistant fails to start properly after update

synthead, I understand that you are frustrated by this bug. Bumping this thread to complain about it is not going to get it fixed any sooner. Please stop.

If you need to complain, we have a thread for that: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85474
