manjaro-pinephone / plasma-mobile-dev: Update broken

[ryo]

I am always on the stable branch. Indeed after some updates Plasma became better and the battery now lasts very long except for the strange behaviour of Angelfish and the keyboard. The overall stability of the distribution should be a responsibility of the Manjaro team, KDE would answer only for Neon. I think they upload the updates of every package  immediately and sometimes the system breaks until all the necessary components have been updated.

The reason why I went to KDE in the first place is because the problem seemed to be in the Qt library, which is KDE's part.
Guess the only way out is to just back everything up, and flash a new image at this point.

I don't have a solution, but during the update process a message appears saying that the "passwd" command needs to be run before rebooting due to something in the update. Haven't figured out how to do that before things get borked. I'm on stable and updated with "pacman -Syu".

edit: here's the quote from a serial terminal update on Beta 5 freshly installed: "You need to update your password![1;0m
Because of a library update, you need to update your password before you reboot. Run passwd to do so!"

To be honest, not many people will read the output line by line unless the sentence clearly stands out.
My habit is to just check what packages are going to be updated, and then say "Y" to continue.
It does happen that something important shows up at the end of the update process, I expect it when updating GitLab or iRedMail since they do that every time.
