Arch Linux Template stops working when upgrading nettle and gnutls

[dazw...@gmail.com]

QubesOS 4.0

For me, its always such a mess updating my Arch Linux template. Make a backup first if something goes wrong, and then if/when something fails, locate the offending package(s).

This time it's nettle 3.6-1 and gnutls 3.6.13-2. Cant launch anything from the template and appwms after installing those.

If I hold those packages in pacman.conf many things breaks (of course).

So, what do I need to do to fix this?

I can connect to the template via XL Console from dom0, so I tried a few things like recompiling qubes-vm-gui. Did not do anything.

Help please.

I know it's a pain but it's a consequence of using a rolling distro -
you get the same if using a testing Debian - things will break.
I'll dig in tomorrow and see what can be done.

Did you find any solution yet?

Thanks.

Perhaps one of these need recompiling (but they are missing)?
