Updating

Have problems updating Artix LXQT.
"
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: gnupg: local (2.3.1-1) is newer than system (2.2.29-1)
warning: rsync-openrc: local (20210505-2) is newer than world (20210502-1)
 there is nothing to do

Am sure many packages need update.

What did I wrong? anything I can do?

Thank you

For the first update, or when you switch mirrors or change repositories, use
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syyu    # force downloading package lists
Later you can drop one y:
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syu

If you are using Arch repositories, read this: https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories
and set /etc/pacman.conf according to that article.

In the future, first check Artix and Arch wiki, as described in how to ask correctly to get the right answer.

I did the same thing but in two steps :
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Su

Get the same remarks and results.

Anything else I could try?

I haven't had any updates recently either, but checking here for example:
http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/world/os/x86_64/
CTRL - F to search page with browser:
14-Oct-2021
15-Oct-2021
Nothing appearing.
There are no updates at present. My guess - this is the Python major version update, lots of stuff needs rebuilding at once for that, the build servers compilation and testing isn't finished yet? Or everyone coincidentally took a break at the same time.

At the moment, the latest stable version of gnupg from the system repository is system/gnupg 2.2.29-1, and the latest stable version of rsync-openrc is world/rsync-openrc 20210502-1. You have probably enabled gremlins repository or have ordered Arch repositories before Artix ones.

Post your /etc/pacman.conf (use https://paste.artixlinux.org).

Post,

Code: [Select]
$cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Seems that you have a staled mirror at the top in your list. I would  shuffle around the list, for example, comment out all mirrors but those in my region. If the problem persists, change the mirror order in the list, etc. Then,

Code: [Select]
$sudo pacman -Syyu

Thank you for your comments.

Problrem remains ... But I can use Artix system in a normail way.

Got following error message last night when updating :
"warning: gnupg: local (2.3.1-1) is newer than system (2.2.29-1)
warning: rsync-openrc: local (20210505-2) is newer than world (20210502-1)

gpg: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION!
gpg: It is only intended for test purposes and should NOT be
gpg: used in a production environment or with production keys!"

Guess there is an error in one of the config files. I would like to use the 'production' version and not the "DEVELOPMENT VERSION'! Any help?

Thank you for kind attention.

Thank you for prompt reaction.

Sent already my '/etc/pacman.conf' file 14 days ago. Have resent it right now. Hope you will be able to help.

Thank you for your efforts.

Repos look good.  You even don't use Arch repos.

...I would like to use the 'production' version and not the "DEVELOPMENT VERSION'! Any help?
If you still get 2 warnings about local gnupg and rsync-openrc being newer then those in [system] repo, then try to run full system upgrade, forcing local databases updates and, most importantly, allowing packages downgrades.

Local databases updates are forced by using double y -yy switch.

Downgrades during upgrades are enabled by using double u -uu switch instead of single u -u switch.

The command is shown below.  Please, do not split it in two or more separate commands.  Run it exactly as it shown, as a single command:
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syyuu

It should downgrade two local pkgs with their counterparts from the [system] repo.  Thus, replacing "development" by "production" pkgs:

- gnupg from 2.3.1-1 down to 2.2.29-1
- rsync-openrc from 20210505-2 down to 20210502-1

Dear Just,

Thank you for your reaction that solves the problem.

You are right :
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syyuu
is the way to do it!
 
Code: [Select]
warning: gnupg: downgrading from version 2.3.1-1 to version 2.2.29-1
warning: rsync-openrc: downgrading from version 20210505-2 to version 20210502-1


Didn't know about the difference between 'y' and 'yy' / 'u' and 'uu' . Thank you for explanation.

Do I need the "Arch repos"? For the time being the Artix repos provide all I am looking for.

Once more : thank you. Have a nice day.
