There's no issue to create, ctl-alt-f7 isn't supposed to just magically do
anything specific, and you haven't actually shown an issue at all. Maybe take a

A quick scan through, I don't notice that many problems, certainly nothing that 
indicates the system needs reinstalled. Backup files being altered is normal, 
and permissions mismatches are not uncommon and don't necessarily indicate a 
problem. The mtree file issues are definitely a problem.

It means filesystem corruption. All of those files will need reinstalled, and
you'll want to check your system with pacman -Qkk to see what other packages
might be corrupt. Good chance you'll need:

That's outside the scope of the issue being discussed here, though. Not all ssh

"forced on an existing build system" really? This is a simple config file and
the defaults changed, nothing has been 'forced on' anyone. This is also in the
backup array, so if the file has been modified at all, you would get a .pacnew.
You're seriously claiming that changing config file defaults isn't KISS? Do you

So virtually every file in that package is missing. Not altered, 0 length, or
anything, just flat out missing. This isn't a typical filesystem issue/power
loss or anything like that, then. Since pip hasn't been used and it appears to
be limited to python, this sounds more like a bad backup restore? Could also be
a manual deletion for some reason?

To fix it, since multiple packages are involved, you can get a list of all
python packages with `pacman -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/`,
reinstall all of those.

It wouldn't hurt to check just `pacman -Qkk` to make sure there aren't other
packages involved.

After you finished the update, those files were put into place so you no longer
have an issue with that package. You either need to cancel the update, or use
pacman -Qkk on all of your python packages to identify which ones are missing
files. Are you using pip at all? Any cleaners like bleachbit?

There's no need to rebuild the system because of a few warnings.

It appears there was a slight delay, 5 minutes or so, between icu getting moved
to Core and the rest of the rebuild getting moved to Extra. If your mirror
synced in that window, you'll run into this. It'll be fixed next time your
mirror syncs, or pick a different mirror.

Yes, that is the release of the ISO, not of Arch Linux. And it doesn't actually
matter what ISO you use. You could use the ISO from 2-3 months ago and the
installed system will be the same, because as I said, it always downloads the
latest packages to install. There are no packages on the ISO.

There are no Arch Linux releases. You downloaded the ISO, but the ISO doesn't
really have any bearing on what gets installed when you set up the system, it
always downloads and installs the latest packages. 6.6.5 was just released
hours ago and isn't in the repos yet, 6.6.4 is.

If you're asking if you can update the ISO, no you cannot.

Assuming you're talking in your home dir, the program has to do this itself at

If you didn't confuse your AUR helper for pacman, you'd realize that that error

You're kidding right? Software that's been dead for nearly 17 years upstream,
has been in the AUR for more than 5 years with no votes, requires a bunch of
downstream patches, and has a license that's very ambiguous about
redistribution? How in the world would anyone consider this a candidate to

What version do you have? You should always include complete version
information when asking questions like this. If you have the latest version,
run lddtree from the pax-utils package on the electron binary and see exactly

What do you think Arch does to the kernel? But really, does it even matter?
Arch keeps the modules in the repo up to date, including patching them when
necessary for newer kernels. Again, if you want to run an old version that Arch
doesn't maintain, that part is up to you. Maybe check what Arch does? Or see if
upstream has patches?

Nobody cares if its lts/still supported, 6.1 is an old version; end of story.
Even upstream lists it under "Old Builds". Arch is on 7.0 and maintains that. If
you don't want to use that, it's on you.

And 6.1.46 was July 18th, not 31st, and is only supported for a few more months.

Pretty normal, actually. If you want to run an old version, it's your
responsibility to make it work. Kernels breaking compatibility happens all of
the time.

No, this is not an Arch issue, as Arch doesn't ship virtualbox 6.1.46 modules.

And none of them are likely to work. It'll have no way to find it's libraries

They have already provided a fix for the issue, the patch for 6.2 was applied
to the AUR package almost a month ago. Please don't tell me you're trying to

This is a partial update issue, one way or another. Instead of using ldd, which
is recursive, check some of those binaries with lddtree from the pax-utils
package. It'll reveal where the actual problems are. If you want to check in a
script, you need to be using something like objdump or readelf that will show
you just what the binary is linked to, not everything in the entire tree.

If you resolv.conf was empty, you didn't set up systemd-resolved correctly. See

Is your password really long? There's an issue with flyspray and passwords over

It probably won't be; if you look, the issue is that the Tier 1 mirror it syncs
