#!/bin/bash

#After installing holoiso 4 offline iso -- released in Dec '22 -- you may run into the inability to download system updates 
#due to repo names out of sync with upstream. (https://steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud/archlinux-mirror/)

#First, ensure your current version reads 3.4 in steamdeck GUI system properties. 
#
#switch to desktop mode, load Konsole
#save this script to your home dir ~/ 
#
#This script makes some assumptions:
#a. you can get into steamdeck gui and desktop
#b. you did your original install off the holoiso 4 offline iso from Dec '22
#c. you've saved this script to your home dir and made it executable via the cmd: chmod +x ~/fix-holoiso-iso4-pacman.sh 
#d. your version reads 3.4 in the steamdeck gui - system properties
#e. you aren't having OTHER pacman, pkg or system issues
#f. you see 404s on downloads if you run a normal pacman -Syu 
#g. if you've recently tried other steps to rectify, you may need to clear out your cache with a pacman -Scc
