Make sure another instance of pacman is not running
Then delete /var/pacman/db.lck
There isn’t db.lck in my /var/lib/pacman
I got only local and sync folder
weird
this is your error?
or similar enough
so your db lock file doesn't exist, then try again
try
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck it could be hidden from your files appI can’t delete db.lck
I don’t have that file
I don’t know why
It is a fresh install
try
ps aux | grep "pacman"Sorry for quality
I flashed a new iso (v3 beta) and the problem is the same
It is always a clean install
@Matteo Cavestri in v3 it’s immutable so you can’t even use pacman
So don’t worry
Just make an arch container if you want pacman
And how can I update my system?
My blendos system
Cause in that way I update my container, not my system
you can't updates are handled automatically
you can update containers like you would any other system
the base is updated automatically
Ok, thanks
