Any ideas on how to fix this?

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I removed the bash-completion package and was able to complete the upgrade.

Wouldn't you rather remove one of either pamac-cli or pamac-gtk?

IDK, bash-completion is pretty important to me.

Yes, but...

OK.
How are you upgrading? yay, pacman, pamac-cli, something else? What produced the output in post #1?

Also show us:

Code:

pacman -Qi pamac-cli

pacman -Qi pamac-gtk

To upgrade I normally use pacman. I might have used yay that time though. I was trying to install jshint with yay and got the message I needed to upgrade a bunch of packages. So iirc, I started the upgrade but it failed. Then I tried with pacman and got the output shown in my OP.

I've only been using Manjaro for a couple months and haven't had any problems like this yet.

Here's that output you requested...

I just ran these commands and they all completed successfully.

Code:

sudo pacman -Rs manjaro-hello



yay -Rs pamac-gtk



sudo pacman -Syu bash-completion

^ Yes but now you don't have pamac-gtk anymore.

Code:

pacman -Syu

It gets a little more complicated with the AUR and AUR helpers like yay, but generally they take the same arguments, e.g.:

Code:

yay -Syu

Is that what you used?

What happens if you now re-install pamac-gtk? Show us:

Code:

pacman -Syu pamac-gtk

PS:
You don't need sudo for pacman queries.
Please CODE tags instead of QUOTE tags - see my signature.

Code:

[andy@prometheus ~]$ pacman -Syu pamac-gtk

error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.

^AFAICS everything is fine now, bash-completion is installed?

This sort of quirkiness sometimes solves itself after another sync.

I said queries don't require sudo.

You should really read pacman's man page.

That's what I thought. I had a temporary misunderstanding. :) I sometimes remember that queries don't require sudo.

Good advice. I try to get by a lot of the time with just skimming though. I get a lot of physical pain and anxiety when at the computer so have to often limit my screen time.
