I sometimes get an error when updating with snapshots. Not every time, but about 50/50

I think it started happening after the last python version update on Arch. I have rebuild buttermanager from AUR after that update.

Checking for system updates.

After this the program hangs. Killing it and trying to update manually says that there is already an update process running.

Restarting results in a broken system sometimes, especially when kernel updates take place.

Anything I can provide or do to debug this issue?

Actually, nevermind

I was using pamac to update afterwards.

Running pacman again out of curiosity showed me that it keeps hanging up randomly.

Hi @Deckweiss

You are right, after the Python's upgrade to the new version, it is necessary to rebuild ButterManager. On the other hand, the pacman issue will be resolved sooner or later I guess :)

Thanks for reporting, as always!

ghost commented 2 years ago

I figured out the issue.

I think stuff from my .bashrc was interfering with pacman for some reason (specifically https://github.com/Deckweiss/auto-root tool)

Adding an env variable in the buttermanager desktop file to disable said tool seems to have fixed it.

@Deckweiss nice tool!!! Very useful, thank you very much for this :)
