minus-square@InFerNo@lemmy.mllinkfedilink0•2 days agoPartial updates are not supported on Arch. You need to use -Syu.
minus-square@saoirse@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish0•20 hours 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.
