On Archlinux it is not recommended to update only one package with the package manager pacman. Let’s say I have 11 packages, and one of them is extra/firefox (true story). Updating only a pacman -S firefox could introduce problems, but installing a new single package if it wasn’t there is okay.
So my question is, could we get around this by removing and installing the same package again in one go: pacman -Rs firefox && pacman -S firefox
Isn’t
pacman -Syuthe recommended way to update anyway? I have always used that o. EndeavourOS and hadn’t any issues.Except for the recent nouveau nvidia driver :/
Yes, but it is also good to know why it is recommended.
