did you get an error when trying to do an update per chance?   This has been posted a few times around the web in recent days concerning cairo/python.   I did this and afterwards, full update worked a treat:

sudo mv /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.pyc /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.pyc.bak

i have no idea why, as one machine did it, another didn't (its a cached thing, i think py's are just cached python byte code that are created on the fly anyway, and not a part of a package), but here's a thread from an arch forum that might shed light on it if you're bored and fancy a read:

Well see.... my system wouldn't boot and rather find out why after running fsck or whatever that command is to check partitions are fine, i instead used a weekly updated iso to reinstall my system without formatting it and this was the result:  my databases have errors any python cairo is acting up but my system boots, so problem mostly solved.  not the right way by any means but it does function-ish.  :)


also, TY!  i will try that!

cool, if by any chance that doesn't allow you to update fully afterwards, there's also the sledgehammer and force the updates too:: 

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite '*'

fooey, mmm...that's getting way beyond just the cario/python error.   Hopefully somebody else will chip in too, 'cause I really don't want to risk borking your machine!  but just on the off chance -

sudo mv /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.pyc.bak

or indeed navigate to that folder and rename the single file content manually in a FM.

looking at my file, the name changed a bit (again) and as your using a weeklu  .iso.   Doubt it'll make any difference, but hey, worth a shot.

you're all good?  or just the python/cairo errors gone?

Re: a slew of python-cairo errors on upgrade

no not all good.  today i rebooted the system and it failed to boot again.  seems i'm going in circles....  i may have to do a fresh install by creating a new partition until i can sort this mess out through the logs to see what's going on.

with an boot usb, chroot to your OS.
uninstall python cairo.
Code: [Select]
pacman -Rnsdd python-cairo
then remove this directory
Code: [Select]
rm -r /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo
then install the package as dependency (if you need this package, mainly used for virt)
Code: [Select]
pacman -S --asdeps python-cairo
