well spotted! yes, the initial attempt yesterday failed with the same error at the end as you mentioned in my other thread, except ofc this time with the newer build number. so this time, once that happened, i used the vacuum command you also showed me earlier, which said it deleted one… “something” [sorry i can’t now recall the term it used], waited a while, then repeated the update attempt… which i thought had been successful, but i did not notice that line you’ve pointed out here.
i see now from KDE - Experience Freedom! that there’s a later build, which soon i shall try, albeit i feel pessimistic of success. if this was a mutable system, based on the two last update attempts failing into a boot rescue screen, i would be inspecting my /etc/crypttab file to see if it became corrupted during the update, thus my LUKS partition becoming unable to be accessed during the boot up. however, here in my kdelinux, there simply is no /etc/crypttab file [in my 20260524 build i’m stuck on], so i don’t have the faintest idea how to explain these two failures.
