I moved about a month ago and haven’t touched my pc a whole lot from before packing it away and finally getting around to unpacking it.

I’m running CachyOS and finally got around to unburying it, and after trying to run a system update I’m met with this:

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...

I’m not super technologically inclined, not completely illiterate but no expert for sure. Usually I’d update my system regularly but with the move and otherwise being extremely busy lately I’m only getting around to it now. I tried looking it up first but I’m not sure if I just used the wrong search queries or what, but I couldn’t get a good answer anywhere, so I thought I’d try here.

Thanks in advance for any help. I really do appreciate it.

    Thanks for all the info. I tried manually replacing the mirrorlist but I’m still getting the same warnings and errors. I also tried -Syyu but still no dice.

    What was this you were saying about keyfile? That doesn’t seem to be something I’m familiar with.

      That’s a totally separate error… It can happen that the keyring itself is so out of date that it blocks the update, and with it the upgrade to a newer keyring. For this reason it’s often safer after a long time to do pacman -Syu cachyos-keyring (pretending I guesse right and that’s the name of the package) first to avoid the whole update getting blocked by signature with an out-of-date-key. Yet that should not apply here.

      But Ignoring the warnings you get for now… This looks like vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers did not replace vulkan-mesa-device-select but now the 32bit library version lib32-vulkan-mesa-device is supposed to be replaced by cachyos/lib32-vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers, which would in turn need vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers as a dependency.

      What happens when you answer ‘no’ to that first question? Alternatively, is there anything keeping you from installing vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers (thus replacing vulkan-mesa-device-select)?

        Answering “n” gives me the same error still. Same with if I say no for both questions. In fact, any combination will always result in the same error.

        Probably a dumb question but how would I go about installing vulcan-mesa-implicit-layers?
