minus-squareInFerNo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 month agoPartial updates are not supported on Arch. You need to use -Syu.
minus-squaresaoirse@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoI think you’re misunderstanding what a partial upgrade is. A partial upgrade is where you update the database without then upgrading every package (calling pacman -Sy with the u switch). pacman -S, therefore, is not a partial upgrade, as the database is not updated with the y switch. See System maintenance#Partial upgrades are unsupported for more info.
