plus more all the packages that are complained about are present and seem to be complete .

I am at a loss as to where to go next any help appreciated

One thing that jumps out at me is that all of those paths are *relative*. I don't have any idea what "an update" looks like, let alone what "an update fail," but I might suspect that some environment variable that should be absolute (PATH? PYTHONPATH? PYTHONSTARTUP?) is actually relative (or empty or even entirely unset). An actual log and/or error messages from the failed update would be informative. What kind of OS is it? What kind of installation failed? Again, actual commands and copied/pasted output from your terminal are the best. Those paths also make me think that you're talking about the system Python (as opposed to something you installed locally under your home directory). What happens if you uninstall it and reinstall it? Good luck.

% pacman -Fyx 'usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools/config/__pycache__/expand.cpython-311.opt-1.pyc' usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools/config/__pycache__/expand.cpython-311.opt-1.pyc is owned by extra/python-setuptools 1:69.0.2-1

...

...

reinstall python-setuptools

Repeat for every problematic file. Since your upgrade failed, files that were meant to be written were not written, and pacman now expects them there but they are not there. Ideally just reinstall all packages that your failed upgrade touched Martin On Sun, Dec 24, 2023 at 2:21 AM pete wrote:
