Description Milosz 2019-08-15 07:42:39 UTC

SUMMARY
Initial setup tries to run `sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm --needed`.
If the user installs packages as part of the script or manually, without running `pacman -Syu` it leads to a partial upgrade.
Depending on packages installed, this may lead to a broken system.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run `kdesrc-build --initial-setup` on ArchLinux.

OBSERVED RESULT
Command tries to run `pacman -Sy`

EXPECTED RESULT
Run `pacman -S` or `pacman -Syu`.

Bug reference:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported

Possible workaround:
Run `pacman -Syu` just before running the setup wizard.

The improved command referenced in the Phabricator change request was merged to fix this bug back in August. Not sure why I missed this bug report in the meantime but this has been already fixed. Thanks for reporting!
