Hello, Some might have noticed we had some issues with arch-general ML from November last year. This was debugged and sorted today morning [1] and should have emails now send. Also the archive now contains the messages as well [2]. Thanks for dvzrv and gromit for their time today to sort this out together.

Change user password in KDE settings: root authorisation requested
by SET 17 Apr '25

17 Apr '25

Hello, If a user password is changed in systemsettings, root authorisation is requested willfully, with a UI text confirming that it’s mandatory even if it’s the user password being updated. No such request is made when doing that in a terminal and that's well within reach of any Arch user. It has been discussed at: https://discuss.kde.org/t/change-user-password-in-settings-root-authorisati… It seems that it might be distribution related. I am not asking for any change in Arch itself, and would like to read opinions of Arch maintainers about that. Thanks and regards.

Hey, I noticed something about the uutils-coreutils package in the extra repo. It isn't marked as conflicting or providing the coreutils package at all. Is this a problem at all? Best wishes, Leah

php-legacy-mongodb-2.0.0-1 => Fatal error: ... BSONArray.php on line 74
by David C Rankin 13 Apr '25

Arch devs, After update tonight of php-legacy-mongodb-2.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, accessing mongodb through PHP results in the error: [Sat Apr 12 01:25:20.286158 2025] [php:error] [pid 685:tid 685] [client 192.168.6.224:53078] PHP Fatal error: Declaration of MongoDB\\Model\\BSONArray::bsonSerialize() must be compatible with MongoDB\\BSON\\Serializable::bsonSerialize(): stdClass|MongoDB\\BSON\\Document|MongoDB\\BSON\\PackedArray|array in /srv/http/vendor/mongodb/mongodb/src/Model/BSONArray.php on line 74, referer: https://2pi.3111skyline.com/tmp/db/jnl-grid/ This has never happened before and it is pointing to one of the package files. I updated all composer mongodb/mongodb files thinking that may help. It didn't. I also built php-legacy-mongodb from: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/php-mongodb/-/tre… And downgraded, restarted httpd and everything works fine again. New bug or is there some known break with backwards compatibility? The changelog on Serializable::bsonSerialize makes no mention of a break: https://www.php.net/manual/en/mongodb-bson-serializable.bsonserialize.php -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
