Manjaro Update Broke QT5

[pete]

Hey - just looking for a quick bit of advice.

Looks like the recent manajro updates just broke a number of apps I had running smoothly (namely electrum and nextcloud desktop sync).

Possibly others I haven't spotted yet. They fail with
``

My investigations make me think this is an issue with the pyQT5 / QT5 common conflict - although i can't seem to figure out how I'm supposed to fix this (nothing installed with pip).

I'm new to Manjaro and unsure of how regular these things are and how long they tend to hang around before a fix comes.

So my question is simply is it worth reverting to a previous state or do fixes tend to show up in pacman pretty quick?

this is a known issue, and goes all the way up to the packages from Arch ARM. Easiest solution is to install downgrade and use sudo downgrade package(s) to revert back to previously working versions.

Fixes should be already on mirrors. Try "pacman -Syyuu".

Hey guys thanks for the pointers.
`pacman -Syyuu` - didn't help
Will have a look at downgrade, doesn't appear ot be in pacman so I guess I may have to build that myself.

will hold off on recovering from backup image for a few days and see if I can use this as a learning experience

OK got there!
This thread helps where it also looks like clover had the same problem: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/new-qt5-es2-...g/121892/7

For the sake of clarity and making it quicker for others this was solved by:

1) Install "downgrade" from AUR
2) Run "pacman -Qs qt5-" to get a list of all the packages which are 5.14.1
3) Run "sudo downgrade qt5-..." for each package name
4) select the 5.14.0 version (usually option 1)
5) I've generally excluded from updates for the moment to avoid having to do this tomorrow

Thanks for the pointers !

Out of curiosity whats the best way to follow when these packages are fixed - or would you generally wait for 5.14.2 and give that a try?

Kinda new to tracking packages this closely
