If gkrellm won't update from 2.5.0-1 to 2.5.0-2

Tried this and was getting rm: cannot remove '/var/tmp/pamac-build-myusername/gkrellm/pkg/gkrellm/usr/lib/systemd/system/gkrellmd.service': Permission denied

Guess it’s a permissions issue from the source package marking all its files as root… solve by going into /var/tmp/pamac-build-myusername/ and doing a sudo chown --recursive myusername:myusername gkrellm of course replacing myusername with the real user name. Then it should update like usual.

P.S. gkrellm is based on GTK2, which apparently is being removed.

I just issued ‘yay -R gkrellm’ into a terminal then ‘yay -S gkrellm’

Tried that but the dependancies scream out in pain.

Hi @patrick.christy

Next time paste the terminal output in the post instead of an image. :wink:
For now fine, but it helps when finding an issue with Copy/paste from your output.

Anyway this is clear.

Use -Rns, this will also remove the other packages (dependencies).

Breakdown:

  • -R: Removes the specified package(s).
  • -s: Also removes dependencies that are no longer needed by any other installed package.
  • -n: Disables the confirmation prompt (use with caution).

Or, remove the other packages manually first.

Must not have the launcher and themes on the newer ISOs. There was no such error on my laptops that were created in July of last year. I had already removed it from my daily driver destktop computer over two years ago.
