[arch-dev-public] News draft: libxml2>=2.9.12-6 update may require manual intervention
The libxml2 package prior to version 2.9.12-6 was missing the compiled python modules. This has been fixed in 2.9.12-6, so the upgrade may need to overwrite any untracked pyc files created. If you get errors like these
libxml2: usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/drv_libxml2.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc exists in filesystem libxml2: usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/drv_libxml2.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem libxml2: usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/libxml2.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc exists in filesystem libxml2: usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/libxml2.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem
when updating, use
pacman -Suy --overwrite /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/*
to perform the upgrade.
Thanks for taking care of this!
It generally looks good, but I would replace
If you get errors like these
with
"If you get errors such as the following"
