until a pacman update breaks your system because you didn't read the release notes telling you it needed manual intervention beforehand ๐คฃ
I use informant which in theory fixed this but even then there is an issue on it about some things happening earlier in pacman than the transaction hook it uses so... Bleh. This shit needs to be built into pacman itself, seriously.
Been using Arch since 2019, that has never happened to me. Apparently it's all about the device behind the keyboard, not about pacman. ๐คฃ
That's happened like once in the last 3 years and the notice was right in pacman before you accepted.
Every time there's been need for manual intervention the update just fails, I check the news to do the thing, then update as usual
