Re: [arch-general] Cups upgrade leaves broken link in multi-user.target.wants: cups.path -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.path

That was over 2 years ago, and it was mentioned in an upgrade message (although it does not specifically mention the .path file).[1] Anyway, it can't really hurt to have a broken file there. Just remove the link and all will be fine. [1] https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trun

By the way, how did you install Catalyst? From the AUR or from Vi0L0's repositories? If you did it from the AUR, you should already know all this. If you installed it from Vi0L0's repositories, I think something else is going on, and you can ignore most of what was said in this thread. Is it[1] s

Hi, You should update the catalyst-hook package manually. The latest version supports Linux 4.7. Note that catalyst-hook is an AUR package, and those don't get updated automatically with pacman. If you want to want to automatically update your AUR packages, you should use an AUR helper. (search t
