The latest pacman version is 6.0. The major change for this release is the implementation of parallel downloads. Yes, this feature downloads multiple files at the same time!

For instance, if you install something that need 4 dependencies, all files are downloaded in parallel by the same pacman instance, rather than one after the other.

Yeah, I forgot to post that last week. I first used 10 and then worked my way up to 100 on Linode VPS, I finally settled on 20 on all my machines as I have a gigabit connection

Sounds like you haven't updated pacman:

 

pacman -Qi pacman

Tried to do an update check and now me AUR stuff don't seem to be updating,

Well, like it mentions... "auracle: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so"

 

You just need to reinstall auracle, I had to do the same with yay

 

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/auracle-git.tar.gz\
tar -xzf auracle-git.tar.gz
cd auracle-git
makepkg -si

Yep I did a rebuild but pacaur would not rebuild. So I left it overnight and tired again and this time things worked in the main. Pacaur can update and install most things However there is a problem with steam.

 there is nothing to do

 

The install of steam I have runs ok but it will not update. I am guessing that the Arch version of steam has not been updated with the pacman 6 stuff. I will give it a couple of days and try again. Hopefully it will sort itself out.

Nope, I'm running the latest version of steam with no problems.

Of I know your problem. The multilib repo is disabled in pacman.conf. You must of let it overwrite your config file. That's why stream won't update and you are getting all of the lib32 packages not found.

Almost correct. I had done the .pacnew thing but forgot,

 

#[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

 

😅🤣😂

Right and remove the # before [multilib]

Blimey what wiv the .zst and parallel(10) downloads updating is super fast. 😎

Ah, I don't use many AUR packages so haven't ran across the new archive yet.

Good to see Arch is catching up. My recent Debian upgrade came down at 25MB/s. 😎😉 I only have a meagre 256Mb/s pipe though so can't test how fast it would be with gigabit.

Well I wouldn't say catching up as I always had fast updates, just only one at a time downloaded

Thought you rebuilt and installed the latest above. Did you not check your install or did things happen so fast you could not keep up 🤣

Nope, I use yay
