git reset error when upgrading packages in custom PKGBUILD repo

[drakkar1969]

Affected Version

paru v2.0.3 - libalpm v14.0.0

Description

Whenever I perform a system upgrade with paru that involves packages from a custom PKGBUILD repository, I get a git reset error message.

I am using paru -Syu --skipreview --upgrademenu --combinedupgrade to perform the system upgrade

This is admittedly only a very minor annoyance ...

Output

error: git reset --hard HEAD: No such file or directory (os error 2)

The error message is printed after the :: Running post-transaction hooks... section, i.e. right at the end of the terminal output.

The error message does not appear if the upgrade does not involve custom PKGBUILD packages.

#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

I have the same problem.

I wonder if this is related to the fact that older packagages are not removed from pkginfo repos, even with CleanAfter. The old packages just keep being piled up in their respective repositories. The only way to clean them seems to be manually. -Scc does not work either.

I personally got this to go away by disabling CleanAfter, which makes me think the error comes from this function which uses git reset to clean untracked files:

pub fn clean_untracked(config: &Config, path: &Path) -> Result<()> {
    let output = Command::new(&config.git_bin)
        .args(&config.git_flags)
        .current_dir(path)
        .args(["reset", "--hard", "HEAD"])
        .output()
        .with_context(|| {
            format!(
                "{} {} reset --hard HEAD",
                config.git_bin,
                config.git_flags.join(" "),
            )
        })?;

    if !output.status.success() {
        bail!(
            "{} {} reset --hard HEAD: {}",
            config.git_bin,
            config.git_flags.join(" "),
            String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr)
        )
    }

    // snip...

    Ok(())
}

Edit: added code snippet
