Is anybody else seeing this error during a git update in linux?
Cloning into ‘torrent-git’…
done.
==> Starting pkgver()…
==> Starting build()…
go: cannot load module storage/possum/lib/go listed in go.work file: open storage/possum/lib/go/go.mod: no such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting…
uhhh are you actually trying to build darktable? torrent-git is an interesting name and AFAIK, darktable has nothing written in go in it.

it appears that darktable has correctly updated … any idea why the ‘error’ is showing its head?
what command did you run to get that error? Its an error for the programming language GO, which darktable has none of that language in it.
I simply asked Manjaro/Arch to update darktable. There was no specific command given.
Oh, its from your package manager. No idea, seems like a different piece of software is failing to update. That log message has nothing to do with darktable.

For a proper update on arch it will pull all out of date dependencies too and also applications that depend on those deps. The problem here seems to be that torrent-git was probably installed from the aur and shares a dependency with darktable, hence the error.
This is a Manjaro problem, it hides a core system functionality that’s meant to be used by users who read the docs behind a fancy GUI and then things like these happen, leaving the users with no solution.
@davidvj try removing torrent-git with: pacman -Rsn torrent-git and them try to update dt again

It seems that your package manager is updating all the packages, starting by torrent-git.
Try removing it as @hatsnp tell you and try again.
Many thanks for the explanation … I did remove ‘torrent-git’ and that fully resolved the problem.
