Important Pacstall update (February 2026)

[oklopfer]

A recent change in upstream Ubuntu's coreutils (via uutils) causes breakage to Pacstall, which prevents it from being able to run any commands. We have pushed an emergency patch to resolve this issue, but running rpk update may result in Pacstall being unable to update itself. To fix this, please run the following command to update it manually:

LC_ALL=C pacstall -U

We apologize for any caused inconvenience.
