I had a similar life with arch. A handful of boot blocking issues, let's say 5. 4 out of them were solved after joining #arch on now-dead freenode and realizing this was explained on arch main page. 1 of them was a deeper borkage that arch team didn't catch early and required a bit of surgery. The problem was gone in 5 minutes.
- akshat_h 4y agoIt is technically not the arch way to use aur helper, but I use paru instead of pacman which shows arch news before updating. This makes sure I get any arch news before potential breaking updates.
- vonunov 4y agoThe worst incident I can remember from several years of running an Arch VPS is when they had relocated some /lib or /usr/lib files and it required intervention, and I did a pacman -Syu and rebooted without reading the news. Just a mild PITA in OOB console.
- wing-_-nuts 4y ago>realizing this was explained on arch main page That's not the place to explain it. If they're going to require user intervention on updates, the place to do it is during the pacman -Syu itself. Better yet have a shell script that'll fix it automatically and give the end user the ability to read the source before execution.
