Offline Updates Error - dgiffin - 02-16-2022
Running stock Manjaro/Plasma Mobile as shipped.
I saw that Discover was telling me there were system updates, so I ran them and got a message to say the phone needed to reboot to complete the installation, but after it rebooted I get a message:
Offline Updates
Failed to update 1 package
Failed to update database: unexpected system error
Then there are 2 options: Open Discover or Repair System
If I open Discover there's nothing there, no errors or additional packages to install.
If I select Repair system nothing seems to happen.
This happens every time I restart the phone - any suggestions?

Yes, suggestion number 1: delete that preinstalled OS so you can boot from sd... it makes a lot of things easier and is recommended at this point of development.
Suggestion number 2: Update with pacman -Syyuu and ignore discovery. It works a thousand times better, is a proven solution and some day when discovery is fixed you can stop doing it through the cli.

Hello
have you try to update from the terminal?
$ sudo pacman -Syyu
maybe you see something more.
RE: Offline Updates Error - dgiffin - 02-16-2022
"sudo pacman -Syyuu" gives me this:
Synchronising package databases
core
extra
community
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from fast mirror.pp/ua : The requested URL returned error: 404 error: failed retrieving file 'community.db'
then 'too many errors from fast mirror.pp.ua'
skipping for the remainder of this transaction
Starting full system upgrade
there is nothing to do

I’m not sure what deleting the lock file would do as I am not getting a error about being unable to lock the database, but happy to give it a try ?
I'm afraid that didn't help (no lock file to delete) but the error regarding fast mirror.pp.ua - that's a Ukrainian server, so maybe there are problems reaching it? If I comment that entry out of the pacman mirrorlist file???

So, commented it out, reran pacman -Syyuu and didn't get an error, but pacman said there was nothing to do - which I guess is good.
Restarted the phone, logged in and got the same Offline Updates error - everything seems to be working fine but I can't work out why Discover is throwing the error and what packages it's complaining about.
Also, the "Repair System" button just doesn't seem to do anything at all!
This is a voyage of discovery for me :-)
