The system is not upgrading

when i trying to do sudo pacman -Syu it’s showing me:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 cachyos-v3 is up to date
 cachyos-core-v3 is up to date
 cachyos-extra-v3 is up to date
 cachyos is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...

and then it’s just freezes without any signs of errors. I waited about 15 min and it doesn’t help at all. However pacman is still working, i can download programms with sudo pacman -Sy.

Hello and welcome,


You are performing partial-upgrades?

Stop doing that - it can cause varying degrees of breakage.

( System maintenance - ArchWiki )


Maybe we can see if any pacman process is still running?

ps aux | grep pacman

We will probably want to make sure all examples are closed.

If in doubt I suppose we would say restart your session but if it is in a partial-upgrade state that could be slightly hazardous.


Maybe we will get more if pacman is run with verbose flag?

sudo pacman -Syuv

Oh i didn’t know that i shouldn’t perform partial upgrades. Thank you, now i only using cachy-update and it works well.
