[SOLVED] Pacman no longer updates or installs packages.

When running pacman it stalls just before it downloads anything.
steve@arch ~ $ sudo pacman -Syy

steve@arch ~ $ sudo pacman -S zathura

looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets (1): zathura-0.0.8.5-4
Total Download Size: 0.04 MB
Total Installed Size: 0.11 MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
:: Retrieving packages from community...
Thats as far as it gets.
It doesnt seem to totally hang since it will respond to ctrl+c after 30 seconds or so
Any ideas?

[solved] pacman -Syy and -Syu work, but packages won't install

Hello, everyone. I'm really new to Arch, but I did search all over Google and the forums and couldn't find an answer to this, so I thought I'd ask the forums.
I just installed Arch, and I'm trying to install sudo.
When I run pacman -S sudo, I get:
sudo package not found, searching for group...
error: 'sudo': not found in syncdb
However, when I run pacman -Syy, I get:
::Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.kernel.org: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
...(other similar errors from other mirrors)
core 4.1K 43.7K/s 00:00:00 [##########] 100%
...(same for extra and community)
(Sorry I didn't copy the entire output out, I'm not connected to the internet on the Arch computer, so I'm typing this by hand on another one. I tried a bunch of mirrors earlier, and only one mirror actually works: the Arch one, which as a download cap.)
So my package databases are getting updated, but somehow pacman isn't recognizing them or something.
I updated pacman to see if that would work.
pacman -V
Pacman v3.3.3 - libalpm v4.0.3
It didn't.
I'm running 2.6.33-ARCH according to lib/modules.
I haven't changed my etc/pacman.conf. [core] and its Include, [extra] and its Include, and [community] and its Include are all uncommented. No packages are ignored.
My etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist was updated from the Arch Mirror Generator. I uncommented everything in United States.
I have internet set up, and I've tried taking down wlan0 and putting it back up. iwconfig shows that wlan0 works and is connected, and I'm pinging google.com successfully, so I know internet works.
Thanks in advance for any help, and please let me know if I'm missing any information. I tried to be thorough.

[solved] pacman no longer shows download progress of packages

Just in the last few days, download progress is no longer shown.
Is this by design? It's kind of annoying in any case. Searched and didn't see other comments about it.

[SOLVED] Pacman won't update and hangs

Hey,
After logging in a while ago I found out that pacman hangs in a very weird way.
Don't mind the czech locale, the output should be pretty clear anyway.
[root@meph-ntb meph]# pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizuje se databáze balíčků...
core 55,0K 4,2M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
extra 809,5K 8,1M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
community 449,5K 6,7M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
multilib 26,7K 2,8M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
[root@meph-ntb meph]#
Seems alright. But then...
[root@meph-ntb meph]# pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizuje se databáze balíčků...
And hangs here. Every other attempt at -Syy hangs like this, until next reboot. And after the reboot it again seems alright at first, but 2nd and every other attempt hangs.
Pacman -Syu behaves in a similar way. First time after reboot it does sync the database and then hangs when it says retrieving packages. When I try again, it hangs on database sync.
Tried changing mirror (long shot, I know), didn't help. Even tried without X running, didn't work. Also pacman.log is clear.
Any ideas?

I don't know why, but the problem seems to be gone after a few hours. I didn't change mirrorlist, and it hasn't changed since last time the update worked fine either. I'm still curious what caused the problem, but can't think of a way to find out.

[SOLVED]Pacman fails to update

Hi,
It's been a while, so I hope this issue can be resolved here, and I'll be on my best behaviour. I tried an update (system-wide) with
pacman -Syu
it came back with :
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
initscripts: /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
What do I do next?
Thanks for helping out
Thor

[SOLVED] Pacman is broken on fresh installation

I've just performed a fresh installation that seemed to go fine, following the Official Arch Linux Install Guide. However, I get the following during my first login:
Arch Linux 2.6.39-ARCH (myhost) (tty1)
myhost login: root
Password:
[root@myhost ~]# pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: local database version is too old
error: failed to init transaction (database is incorrect version)
try running pacman-db-upgrade
error: transaction already initiated
[root@myhost ~]#
I realize the error recommends that I run pacman-db-upgrade, but it seems very out-of-the-ordinary to encounter this error after having installed fresh with all default options. Could someone give me a hand?

What exactly do you mean by "failing"? Please post the errors you get.
But first, grab a fresh mirrorlist http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and try to update again.
I agree with picking an updated mirror. If packages are "failing," then the mirrors may be out of sync. Also, the list of mirrors included on the ISO CD may be out of date.

[Solved] pacman won't update kernel

Hi, I create a base image that I clone to build from, it has nothing added but 'base-devel', earlier I installed an XFCE install, I went to create another from the same base image, when I install nvidia it told me in both cases that it needed a newer kernel 3.1.4, so I ran
pacman -Syu
. This morning this solves the problem, right now it states that it has nothing to update (it's made from the same image) and nvidia won't install stating it needs that upgrade. I shuffled mirrors around to see if it helped but it didn't. Anyone have an idea of why this is occurring?
thanks in advance for your help.

No, it doesn't do the upgrade, it insists there is nothing to upgrade, while the nvidia install says that there is.

[Solved] Pacman no longer works at all!!

Ok, did some searches and found a few hits, but not really sure how to fix this one. Here are 2 links I found.
links:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … -libraries
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1232052
In my case, I dont think any pacman option/command works. Cant run 'pacman' with ANY options or with no options??
error:
$ pacman
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I guess I was updating something using curl libraries, but not sure whats the best way to fix this.
ldconfig -p | grep curl
Returns nothing.
Not sure if this was the right thing to do but I also tried this from the first link.
echo /usr/local/lib | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
Here is another one:
$ sudo ldd $(which pacman)

So looks like thats the issue .. libcurl.so.4 => not found ...
I dont have strace installed and not sure if I need it to continue....I did a quick search and dont see a libcurl installed, so either i need to install it or remove that reference too it? LOL
Any suggestions?

[SOLVED] Best practice on updating git-sourced packages?

So quick question. Im maintaining an AUR package that grabs sources from git. How should I update the package? Will the package be automatically updated when the git repo has new commits, or do I have to manually increment the pkgrel variable in the PKGBUILD or is there something else I should be doing?
Cheers!

As a maintainer, you shouldn't "update" anything. As long as the PKGBUILD file successfully builds the package then it's good!
Will the package be automatically updated when the git repo has new commits
No, it will not. There is nothing automatic about the AUR.
do I have to manually increment the pkgrel variable in the PKGBUILD or is there something else I should be doing?
Updating a package that relies on git is the responsibility of the end user.
As an end user, it's my responsibility to read the project's commit messages and mailing lists and bug reports, decide that the software is stable, and when I have enough time, run "makepkg" (or an AUR helper) to create a fresh new package based on the latest source code from the git repository.

[SOLVED]Pacman try to install old version packages which not exists

When I tried to install django, pacman reported 404 error.
And I found that pacman tried to install django-1.4.3-1 while the resposity I used only has django-1.4.4-1
I've deleted all resposities except
Server = http://mirrors.163.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
And then I tried
pacman -Syy
but it seems useless.

I think this topic can be marked as SOLVED. Should I mark it or the administrator will do this?(In fact I do not know how to mark it.:))
You shouldn't use ftp.archlinux.org, it's throttled. Use another mirror instead.
I just use ftp.archlinux.org occacionally to fix the problem.
Sometimes I don't want to wait the mirror updating itself.

Seems to be looking for 64 bit packages still. Had a similar issue when installing another prog as well

[Solved] Pacman -Syu not updating fully?

I've run Syy then Syu a couple times, yet pacman doesn't alert me to a newer Linux in core.
$ uname -r
Output: ... 3.6.5 ...
$ pacman -S linux
Output: ... linux-3.6.9-1 ...
So should I install this newer Linux regardless and then re-run Syu? Or is pacman disregarding 3.6.9 for a reason?
Thanks,

I haven't done the update yet, I just see that it is available, and my system has already been rebooted a few times after a previous system update (last week).
So the scenario is I have a freshly rebooted box reporting kernal 3.6.5, and pacman -Syy then pacman -Syu tells me everything is up to date, and pacman -S linux tells me that 3.6.9 is available.
That scenario seems odd so I just wanted to ask if it means maybe that I shouldn't update yet, or should I just update the kernel regardless by doing pacman -S linux?
You have "linux" on IgnorePkg? check your /etc/pacman.conf
If you are using arch on a vps (not based on kvm, but on openvz or similar) chances are, you are stuck with your current kernel.
If thats the case, don't force the kernel update.

[SOLVED] pacman hanged when install or remove packages

when I use pacman -S , it only shows "resolving dependencies...". If I use pacman -R , it hangs at "checking dependencies..."
I have tried to overwrit the programme with extracted the package manually, it didn't help me.How can I resolve the problem

[SOLVED] Pacman no longer updates or installs packages.
