[SOLVED] pacman.conf simple line error or... ?

So here's what happened:
I was trying to enable the [multilib] repository. (As according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib).
Thus, I went ahead and uncommented the following from /etc/pacman.conf:
[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
To edit /etc/pacman.conf, I used LibreOffice Writer. I saved the file as a .txt document and made sure that it is properly renamed as pacman.conf.
Next, I went to update pacman's package list by running pacman with the -Sy switch.
And then, voila:
# pacman -Sy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
However, when looking at pacman.conf I don't see any errors in line 1. Nor do I see any problems with directives.
Here are the contents of pacman.conf:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XWh9eagr
Is there a simple problem with a line in pacman.conf --- or is it because I used LibreOffice Writer instead of Vi? Or?
Is the answer to this right in front of my nose?
Thank ya'll..

LibreOffice Writer is a word processor - it will do odd things to your .conf files. Use a text editor. If you don't want to use vi, then use nano, or gedit or anything other than a word processor.
Moving to NC: not at all related to pacman...

[SOLVED] Pacman -Syu Warning and Error

I want to update my system, but the first weird thing I notice after pacman -Syu is this warning message:
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: util-linux will be installed before its udev dependency
And then, when checking for conflicts, pacman throws this about some existing Xorg files:
(100/100) checking for file conflicts [######################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
xorg-xmessage: /usr/bin/xmessage exists in filesystem

xorg-xmessage: /usr/share/man/man1/xmessage.1.gz exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Is it safe to force the install with a pacman -Syuf? I prefer to ask for your advice before I end breaking something...

Thanks! All those files belonged to an orphan and now extinct package called xorg-apps.
pacman -Runs xorg-apps fixed the problem.

[Solved] Pacman broke after -Sy error loading liblmza.so.0

so I read in another post that all I hafta do is manually install xz-utils...so I got to AUR and try to makepkg -s after i tar -zxvf the .tar.gz file they provide
I might be missing something or may have not downloaded some extra file I need....anyways it said there was no target specified and no make file found....I'm sure it's fairly obvious that I'm new to linux so any help would be appreciated
i put the .tar.gz into a folder I named xz-util then i cd there and i utarred it with tar -zxvf then i cd into the now utarred file and I type makepkg -s
thanks in advance

Profjim gave you the link above. It is a plain tarball that contains all the necessary files and symlinks.
dangsos wrote:after I updated it then it didn't work....not sure what the deal is, but it sounds the same as the other guys problem that you linked too
oskarn did -Syu (and most likely -Syud as Allan said), which is not -Sy. Since you aren't familiar with the basics of arch/pacman, it's hard to guess what you really did exactly. If you're able to get this all fixed, you'll need to read through some wiki articles to get a basic grasp of things.

okay, yeah I was thinking it seemed like a server problem since it proceeded to update some packages from community the first time I got that error.

This tells you that you have incorrectly configured permissions when you copied the file. Fix that with

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/extra could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/community could not be read
:: Synchronizing package databases . . .
error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

Cannot enable wget in pacman.conf(solved)

Pacman does not recognize wget in /etc/pacman.conf....
[root@n6re ~]# pacman -Scc
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'xferCommand' noted.
[root@n6re ~]#
Attempting to eliminate pacman's filling of my /root partition during full system download I attempted to use wget to aid in downloading. The result is noted above.
My root partition is filled...used
pacman -Scc
once but the problem repeated. Some users use wget to solve the problem so I tried that .
Attempted to use:
pacman -Q |less
The same error concerning wget occured again and no display of installed packages ensued.
So for the present cannot state which pacman version I have installed.
Will restore /etc/pacman.conf to original condition and report further on this problem.
Last edited by lilsirecho (2009-10-10 06:19:32)

Thanks for the sharp eye.
Reset my modem, re-installed pacman and corrected the pacman.conf entry for wget.
All is well again....

(SOLVED) Pacman error: GPGME does not exist

Hi, I have also just been struck with the same issue - a broken pacman (and for no reason that I can fathom). Was working perfectly yesterday and all I did that wan't usual was to uninstall clamav.
Anyway, I have read this post and done a pacman -Syy, which upgraded core and archlinuxfr only. I then ran pacman -Syu and received this:

[SOLVED] Pacman GPGME error: No data

I recently bought a new computer and, of course, wanted to get away from windows 8 asap. I've installed arch several times before, and this time, from the outset, I've been plagued with GPGME errors. First was during the installation when I tried to install the base system with pacstrap. I solved that using the method here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=142798 (essentially delete /var/lib/pacman/sync and then run pacman -Syyu). From there on out, the install proceeded happily. After booting into my system, I attempted to begin downloading and installing things such as openssh, gparted, virt-manager...etc. Now I get the same error that I had before.
pacman -Syyu
error: GPGME error: No data

error: failed to synchronuze any databases
error: failed to init transaction (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
As soon as this happened, I attempted to re initialize pacman and the keys with
pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux
This ran properly, but I was still unable to sync or update pacman. I then tried deleting /var/lib/pacman/sync and updating with the same result.
Next, I tried commenting out the mirrors, as that was mentioned in several posts while perusing the wiki. This still did not work. The next ting I tried was setting the SigLevel in the pacman.conf to Never, which brought about a whole host of different errors when trying to update (Unrecognized archive format error).
After reinitializing the keys again, deleting the /var/lib/pacman/sync folder and attempting another (unsuccessful) pacman -Syyu, and running pacman-key --refresh-keys, I set the SigLevel back to it's default, and decided it might be time to post asking for help. Does anyone have any other ideas that I could try? I've been working on this unsuccessfully for a few hours now, and I'd like to see it up and running.
Thank you all in advance!
Searching the archwiki, I tried these threads for additional help:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1111872 -- had a problem in pacman conf I do not
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169225 --commenting out mirrors did not work
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=135310 --- did not help with archive errors
..... and many many more that were totally unrelated despite similar titles to mine

I shutdown my computer, moved to a different network area, and it is now running happily. I have no idea why... perhaps firewall controls? Whatever the reason was, this is no longer happening. Marking as solved.

My pacman is version v.3.5.4 and libalpm v.6.0.4
Thanks for any help again!

libdownload is our ancient fork of libfetch -- do not use it. It's not even the same library, and it required buildsys changes to use. Honestly, I don't recommend libfetch either. Looks to me like you didn't build pacman with internal downloader support at all.
You won't find a tarball of libfetch anywhere because its part of NetBSD core. Arch keeps a snapshot, which you can download.
Regardless, I suggest looking at our PKGBUILDs for sane build time options: 4.0.1, 3.5.4

[Solved](Offline) install of packages, pacman.conf?

Good morning (or what ever time of the day it is for you now )!
I tried offline installation as this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … f_packages instructed plus configured pacman.conf to have Server = file:///var/lib/pacman/sync/approriate_dir lines. When trying pacman -Sp --noconfirm any_package I get ERROR: not found in sync db. Is there something I should know? Is my pacman.conf file made by an ass ?
Last edited by aCyd (2008-03-24 11:53:22)

I fixed it. This is how (maybe someone finds this useful):
the pacman that came with the installation cd was apparently different version than the one used when writing the wiki. It wouldn't look for the core.db.tar.gz and the other files from the /var/lib/pacman/sync/core etc folders (perhaps it would have found them from the /var/lib/pacman/core etc folders there were already, who knows didn't try).
I made a folder called /mnt/usb
mkdir /mnt/usb
mounted the usb stick (it showd as sdb1 for me)
mount /dev/sdx /mnt/usb
and added
Server = file:///mnt/usb/Arch
to my pacman.conf under [core], [extra] and [community] so pacman found them from my usb stick along with packages. I also made sure that the 'Include /path/to/mirrorlist' was commented. No tar command was needed.
pacman -Sp --noconfim {package-name} > pkglist
didn't work for me. I just got the last error line without any package names. Instead I used grep
pacman -Syu --noconfirm | grep error > pkglist
and upgraded the whole system.
I modified the pkglist in emacs with replace-string to remove '' from disk : No such file or directory' after the package name and then again to replace 'error: failed retrieving file '' with the url of my selected mirror. (I know that could have been done more elegantly using sed or something or even a proper regexp in emacs if not with the command) After that I downloaded the packages as instructed, copied them to my usb and mounted it to my Arch system and ran again
pacman -Syu

[SOLVED] pacman download errors

the 2008.03-1.archboot.ftp.iso is the only iso that worked for me. after the install, i logged in using root. I ran pacman -S xorg but got an error. I checked the mirrorlist file and everything was uncommented. I ran pacman -Syy and got many errors. failed to synchronize any database. I did nano pacman.conf and in there was no ftp sites. i put Architecture = auto at the bottom of pacman.conf file and got an error.
your help is greatly appreciated.

this computer cant boot a cd and no usb. my only option was the 2008 iso because the 2009 iso and 2010 iso were giving errors. so i cant do a system upgrade to 2010.5 once i get pacman fixed?

[Solved]Add kernel26 to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. Not ignored.

Using kdemod4.3(32bit). I re-installed kernel26-2.6.30.5-1-i686(earliest in pacman pkg cache) and added kernel26 and kernel-headers to /etc/pacman.conf IgnorePkg but # "pacman -Syu" still asks to upgrade kernel to 2.30.6-1-i686. What do I add to that IgnorePkg to avoid kernel upgrade? Tried kernel, kernel26 and kernel26*. Adding nvidia,nvidia-utils and xorg-server to Ignorepkg give me that thee aren't upgraded(desirred result). Thanx.

Here is complete /etc/pacman.conf. file without the "kernel" or "kernel26" entry which doesn't work.

Has Pacman3 dropped support for the NoUpgrade Lines in pacman.conf?

I just upgraded to Pacman 3. When I upgraded I quickly saw some output on my sceen saying it was doing a one time "reset" and I believe it said I could delete the NoUpgrade lines in pacman.conf.
I noticed that pacman.conf.pacnew does not have any NoUpgrade lines.
Should I delete all the NoUpgrade lines from my pacman.conf file?
Is the NoUpgrade line no longer supported in pacman3?
If so, how can I protect some of my config files from being overwritten during upgrades?
Rob

They're still supported, there just aren't any by default anymore. They were redundant.
You can/should remove any that are listed in the "backup" list for the packages they come from (pacman -Qii package). Those are all handled as if they were in NoUpgrade anyway.

[SOLVED] pacman.conf simple line error or... ?
