I ran:
pacman -Syu
this morning and it destroyed my installation.
I got nowhere after trying to repair things, so I removed the entire folder.
I reinstalled MSYS2
I ran :
pacman -Syu
it destroyed the installation again.
So, pacman thinks your MSYS2 installation is a ghost and eats it.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
Same or similar problem here. I got it running through a new installation, but when I try to compile commands like Make and Strip are not found anymore.
This post may either be cause or result of misunderstandings.
I filed a bug report and it is related to another bug.
There is a work-around. You can still update with
pacman -Syu
BUT you have to wait until all the background programs exit by themselves and it can take a long time.
To be sure, watch the processes with process monitor.
I imagine it will be fixed before long, but I have installed three times because of it.
The first time, because I did not know about it.
The second time because I wondered if it was fixed.
The third time because I wondered again.
But now I know what to do.
