#MSYS2 FISH SHELL UPDATE#
Finally you can do an update of the remaining packages by issuing:įor example, pacman -S make gettext base-devel.if any packages got updated during this then you MUST restart MSYS2 because files that are provided by these packages will be in use and after update you can get fork errors - you need to exit all MSYS2 shells then re-launch msys2_shell.bat Pacman -needed -S bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime For this reason, the safest procedure for updating MSYS2 is to do it in two stages first those 'core' MSYS2 packages: however, because all MSYS2 programs share the same address space for DLLs due to how MSYS2 (well, Cygwin) implements 'fork', updating bash, MSYS2 or Pacman itself can cause subsequent package updates to fail.
