My laziness to deal with the ".pacnew" and the ".pacsave" files in time now come back to bite me, I finally took the time after avoiding them for a long time to deal with them. It took hours to merge the new config files with my existing ones where it was necessary.😩
Belatedly applied this batch of #Frameworks 5.105 [& other] updates this evening. There was a #pacnew for #mirrorlist. I ran my usual `sudo -H DIFFPROG=kdiff3 pacdiff` ... alas now `kdiff3` crashes on launch. Had to temporarily change to `meld`. Bugger. Odd though, coz this was not one of the new pkgs; it was last updated 2April.
Damn rolling releases ... heehee 😜
Time to upgrade from #Arch back to #win95, for optimum security & reliability 🤭
