`base` group replaced by mandatory `base` package - manual intervention required

2019-10-06 - Robin Broda

The base group has been replaced by a metapackage of the same name, we advise users to install this package (pacman -Syu base), as it is effectively mandatory from now on.

Users requesting support are expected to be running a system with the base package.

I ran pacman -Syu base on both of my Arch installations. I think that was the only manual intervention required, or correct me if that's wrong.

Yes, that was all that you needed to do.
