Can't upgrade to mintstick 1.6.3-1

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi everyone,

Yay/Octopi is telling me to upgrade to mintstick 1.6.3-1 from 1.6.2-1 but every time I do so I just get an error: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404.

Any help would be much appreciated!

sudo pacman -Syu

A quick note here:
Instead of entering sudo pacman -Syu, a simple update is sufficient.
The next time you want to execute a command that you have already entered, just press the upper arrow key (several times). To add to a grayed-out command, press the right arrow key.

Thanks, but does update also handle updates from aur? I’m used to using yay for this on Manjaro. What’s the best procedure for this?

Something like upd -a unfortunately doesn’t work with CachyOS.
To install/update AUR packages, use paru. But don’t forget to confirm the PKGBUILD information with the q key.

Of course, you can use an AUR helper of your choice, but paru is already preinstalled here.

OK, thanks, I tried using paru but I still get the same error:

Just run yay. It will perform a system upgrade and will update AUR packages too.

Unfortunately, I can’t help you here.
Have you already tried installing the mintstick-git version?

I format my drives with the existing partition manager. If I want to write an ISO onto a USB stick, I use either Ventoy or the SUSE Studio Imagewriter. Just drag & drop, writing is very quick.

Can’t paru do that too?

Yes but they were using yay so I was just informing them.

Both yay and paru give the exact same error. It’s like something is instructing to upgrade mintstick but then there is no file there when it tries to.

I’ve installed mintstick-git now and that works OK. Thanks.
