Linux noob still learning the basics with a simple question. Got Plex and *arr suite up and running great but Jellyfin Server refuses to install. Looks like a broken link. How do I use an alternate repo or other install source? Screenshot is the end of the output from running yay -S jellyfin-server and yes I’m on my phone because I’m too high to get up right now.
Pacman keeps a local cache of the packages that exist, so it knows that whatever you were trying to install has a version X and that depends on library Y on version Z. Except when it tried to download the library Y on version Z the package didn’t existed anymore, most likely because a new version W was released since you generated your cache. The y option updates the local database first, so it knows the proper up to date versions of things.
That being said running
-Syis a bad idea, because for example what you’re trying to install might update a library that the system expects to be an old version and then everything breaks. If this ever happens again the correct way to fix it is to first do a system update-Syuand afterwards install the new package.Or you just do it as one step in general:
pacman -Syu <package name>
