[Solved] Help With Update

D3CL1N3 · November 21, 2014, 7:16pm

Hello,

I have been using Netrunner for six months (first experience with Linux). I picked this distro after watching videos and reading about the various trypes of distros out there. It seemed to offer a learning experience as well as enough preinstalled content for a novice such as myself to get started. I have learned quite a bit and got tons of windows games and other things intalled/wroking without having to post a question somewhere, but now i find myself stumped. Currently I am trying to update my rolling release to match 2014.09, but I am running into issues. After consulting the readme and typing the commands specified commands, I see this:

[color=#1E90FF][slingshot@Slingshot ~]$ sudo rm -R /var/lib/pacman/local/bash-4.3.024-1
[sudo] password for slingshot:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.[/color]

Addtional info: Using Kernel 3.14.21-1 and have also tried commands sudo pacman -S manjaro-system pacman,
sudo pacman -Syu.

There is a possibility i did manage to upgrade and this error just means im an idiot.

This is all you should need to update the system, including bash:

sudo pacman -Syyu

However, after manjaro-system and pacman are updated, you will need to run it a second time like this:

sudo pacman -Su

Thanks for the reply. Gave a shot with sudo pacman -Syyu and received the same error message as above.

AJSlye · November 22, 2014, 1:44am

OK then:

sudo pacman-mirrors -g
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S bash --force
sudo pacman -S manjaro-system pacman
sudo pacman -Su

Problem Solved. The second set of commands did the trick, but not all of them (sudo pacman -S manjaro-system pacman).

So I entered these
sudo pacman-mirrors -g
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S bash --force

then once bash installed i could enter

sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -Su

I think the original problem was because i failed to keep up with updates as they were released.

AJSlye · November 22, 2014, 7:44am

Yes, this is very possible.
I’m very glad to hear that you were able to get it updated.

PS. May I suggest that you should keep an eye out here on the forums as I usually make a post shortly after each update-pack is released.

Will do and thanks.
