It seems, I managed to break several packages by updating icu. The current list (known to our database / me) is:

i686/community/gitlab-10.8.4-1.0-i686
i686/community/mysql-workbench-6.3.10-7.0-i686

If you require any of those packages (or packages which depend on those), please postpone updates, until we rebuilt those packages.

A few days ago some (crucial) packages linked against glibc 2.28 were falsely moved to [core] [extra] [community], while glibc-2.28 was still in [testing].
This resulted in all kinds of serious errors.

glibc-2.28 is now in [core], so these issues should be fixable by running

pacman -Syu

I'm sorry for any caused troubles.

Updating the system may result in:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing x265 (2.8-1.0) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-32' required by ffmpeg2.8

simply remove ffmpeg2.8 and the repeat the update:

pacman -Rs ffmpeg2.8
pacman -Syyu

Some keys in archlinux32-keyring expired on short notice and were replaced / extended.
To get the latest keys, run

pacman-key --refresh-keys

and update archlinux32-keyring before any other packages:

pacman -S archlinux32-keyring
pacman -Syu

Archlinux mainline just announced the EOL for i686 in archlinux:

Transition from the Official Repositories

If you plan to move from the official repositories to our community maintained repositories, follow these steps:

• Put any mirror from our mirrolist into /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

• Execute pacman -Syy archlinux32-keyring-transition to install our keyring transition package signed by one of the x86_64 archlinux devs.

• Run pacman -Syuu for a full transition.

  • Note, that some packages are currently newer in the official repositories and will be downgraded, therefore.

  • Also note, that packages found in your package cache won't match the signatures from archlinux32 - either allow pacman to delete these cached packages or run pacman -Sc to clean your cache before you start and after you finish upgrading.

By special request, we have added an Atom feed for these news announcements. The feed is located over at https://news.archlinux32.org/rss.php.

Stay tuned for more updates; progress is being made quickly and we'll be ready to begin initial system tests soon.

This is a test while a newsfeed is under development. News posts will be pulled from here on the announcements subforum.
