If you haven't updated Arch in the last 100 days and you are running into a dependency conflict with the "rest" package when you attempt to run pacman -Syy and pacman -Syu the solution in many cases is simply: "pacman -R rest"

It is worth reading bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.ph... to understand why.

Phoronix reporting on Arch's move to the 0BSD (Zero-Clause BSD) license for package sources. The license would apply only to files such as PKGBUILD, .install, .desktop, etc, which were previously unlicensed. This aligns with the goals of Arch's RFC 40:

Arch Linux has announced a direct collaboration with Valve! This is great news, and with the Steam Deck powered by Arch, it makes a lot of sense.

Re-install all your current packages, overwriting any corrupt or zero length files:

pacman -S --overwrite '*' $(pacman -Qq)

A crash in the middle of a pacman -Syu left our system in a bad state. Booted from the latest ISO, copied the libs pacman needed, chrooted and ran that command to fix things
