arch_updates module not working

[vargn]

How can we help you today? As of my latest system upgrade, the arch_updates module has stopped working. From showing 0/0, it now shows arch_updates in the status bar

Your py3status version py3status version 3.56 (python 3.11.7) on i3

Share your configuration

general {
        output_format = "i3bar"
        colors = true
        interval = 1
        color_good = "#2AA17D"
        color_bad = "#586E75"
        color_degraded = "#DC322F"
        markup = pango
        separator = true
}

order += "arch_updates"

arch_updates {
        format = "<span color='#ccc8c8'></span> {pacman}/{aur}"
}

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Hi @vargn , what does it say if you click on it?

It says arch_updates[post_config_hook]: pacman not installed However, Pacman is installed.

@vargn from a quick glance, it looks like pacman is detected by checking if the checkupdates command is available. Is it?

Well, it seems as if pacman-contrib was uninstalled during the system upgrade. Though I can't remember confirming this. After installing it and refreshing i3bar, arch_updates works again. Sorry to waste your time. Thanks
