last_update is wrong #13

Closed MR-Diamond closed 2 weeks ago

MR-Diamond commented 2 weeks ago

mdd, on my system, reports last_update as 2022-04-15, but is not true: currently, the last update of my system, was on 2024-10-10.

What does grep "\\[ALPM\\] upgraded" /var/log/pacman.log | tail -3 give you?

If I run grep -a "\\[ALPM\\] upgraded" /var/log/pacman.log | tail -3 it gives me the today's updates:

If I run grep -a

I used grep with the -a flag because the first command alerts me about

grep: /var/log/pacman.log: binary file matches

Interesting. I don't know what that means here regarding the file. Has the log been changed to use a binary format? In any case maybe it's then enough to add the -a flag to the call in MDD.

I never touched /var/log/pacman.log

The file might have been damaged at some point in the past, like this StackOverflow comment implies. For example by an incomplete file write or so.
