Need to redownload all installed packages [SOLVED]

I found the redownloading all installed packages wiki page, but when I attempt either of the suggested commands on the page, pacman chokes on the first package that I installed out of the AUR. Can someone recommend how I can simply download all of my currently installed packages to my local db?
Thanks!
# pacman -Sdw --noconfirm `pacman -Q | awk '{ print $1 }'`
# wget $(pacman -Sdp `pacman -Q | awk '{ print $1 }'`)

I actually think it does... when I use your shell command after all my packages are populated, I get a line that reads, "checking package integrity..." then a fresh shell.
VERIFIED: it does indeed. I removed /var/cache/pacman/pkg/zvbi-0.2.33-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz then touched an empty file of the same name. After re-running your command, pacman detected the problem, removed the offending package and re-downloaded when I ran it a second time. Smart
checking package integrity...

Redownload and reinstall all installed packages

I need to redownload and reinstall all installed packages, because I made some tests with prelink and something goes wrong. I found an article in wiki that covers download of installed packages, but howto reinstall them all?
The problem is that some apps are acting weird. I also have problem with compiling of AUR packages, because I get this error message:
checking how to recognise dependent libraries... pass_all
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
The gcc package is installed. Any sugestions?

Clyde can't install packages [SOLVED]

Whenever I try to install a package from clyde (in this case chromium-stable-libpdf), I am returned the following:
:: chromium-stable-libpdf package not found, searching for group...
:: chromium-stable-libpdf group not found, searching AUR...
error: 'chromium-stable-libpdf': not found in sync db
A quick forum search returns quite a few threads with people experiencing the same issue, but these all were solved by simply running pacman -Syy (which I have tried). Pacman seems to work just fine and clyde gives same error when I try with other packages in AUR. I don't install things from AUR very often (last time was probably ~ 2 weeks ago) so I am not certain what package upgrade (if any) would have caused this/when this error started occurring. I know that mirrorlist was updated a little earlier today. Please find my pacman and clyde conf files below (with relevant parts included) and my mirrorlist (I have tried changing to different mirrors). Thank you in advance.

Command to compile all installed packages

hi to all,
exist a command to compile all packages are installed in your system ?
thanks

We know what you want. We also know that instead of searching for it, you want someone to give you "a tip".
Well, I have a tip for you - don't do it. There is no appreciable benefit gained from recompiling all your packages, so save the time you would have spent on it for something more useful, and we'll leave it at that.
Alternatively, if you really want to do it - SEARCH THE FORUM.
Thread closed.

Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

I realize pacbuilder is for that, but it doesn't seem to work properly for me. Skipping a lot of packages etc.
Anyway, I've made this very simple script to just rebuild every installed package from core/extra/community. Sorry for the localized echo output, but I think it's all very simple and straightforward to understand.
Edit:
I've improved it a bit, now it should work flawlessly and remember what stuff it has to finish no matter when you ^C out of it. Also it installs all compiled packages, if you want to avoid that, remove -i switch from makepkg.

Viewing dependency tree for non-installed packages [SOLVED]

Pactree only seems to work for installed packages so I was wondering if there was any alternative that could work with any package (installed or not).
Last edited by anonymous_user (2011-07-09 14:46:05)

Well it's not as fast as pactree but I hacked this together for you:
#!/bin/bash
pactree () {
echo "$2|--$1" | cut -c4-
for dep in $(pacman -Si $1 2>/dev/null | awk -F':' '/Depends On/ { print $2 }')
do
dep=$(echo $dep | egrep -o "^[a-z0-9._-]+")
[[ -n $dep ]] && pactree $dep "$2| "
done
pactree $1 ""
Perhaps you should replace the occurences of "pactree" with something else.
Edit: Prettier output.

Reinstalling all installed packages using pacman

I feel my installation is corrupted .volcontrol muted on every boot,nautilus crashing,etc and more.
So,I though of reinstalling whole Gnome-2.22
I got below script somewhere in this forum or wiki maybe:but the script is erring out :?
please help !
pacman -S $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)")
and got the below error message
error: no targets specified (use -h for help)
Last edited by praka123 (2008-04-24 14:47:47)

Run the command pacman -Qq and pacman -Qmq separately and try to find out why it breaks.
pacman -Q displays all packages, pacman -Qm displays the packages that are not in any repos, that is the packages you installed manually == foreign packages. You can't reinstall these foreign packages with pacman -S by definition.
So you have to filter them out of pacman -Q output.
pacman -S $(pacman -Qq) fails here, because I have 3 foreign packages, but pacman -S $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)") works.

Boot iso cant go online to download install packages[solved]

I have to use the boot iso image (not the netinstall or coreinstall iso)
dhcpd fails for some reason, (i definitely have a working internet connection) and defaults to dhclient, and says network was configuredsuccesfully
then when trying to download packages I get 404 errors on all the mirrors I have tried.
The strange thing is that I can select packages and it seems to update the list of packages online!
EDIT- I selected packages twice and not its downloading the packages !

Do I need to redownload all of my apps?

Is there a location that iPhone apps are saved to in or outside of iTunes? I have a new iPhone and I recently had my hard drive replaced on my MacBook Pro. Currently, I am only showing the few apps I redownloaded today to the new phone in iTunes and I'm wondering if I should be able to locate my old purchases somewhere. I backed up my computer with Time Machine and I keep my iTunes folder on an external hard drive.

Thanks! I found that the .ipa files are stored in a Mobile Applications folder within the iTunes folder on my MacBook Pro backup.

Redownload installed packages

hi,
I'd like to know how to redownload (without install) all my installed packages, I've found this:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=18728
and tried the script:
for package in `pacman -Q | awk '{ print $1 }'`; do yes | pacman -Sw $package; done
but it doesn't download anything in my pacman cache...
the thread is old (2006) and I'm sure there have been a lot of modifications in pacman, so can someone help me correcting that script?
thanks for your help

Those were completely different approaches... The very long one, and the arch one...
You can start by writing a long approach that works, and then try to find a more elegant one, no problem with that.
But generally speaking, it's very easy to write a script longer than necessary, because writing short ones require both knowledge
of all the neat tools like grep,sed,cut,tr,find, etc and experience of combining them all together.
To be honest, this need of reinstalling or re-downloading all installed packages comes up regularly, so you can find that my solution
was already suggested before in this forum, but that there were also several more verbose solutions similar to yours.

Removing the explicitly installed flag for all dependency packages

From what I gather, pacman -Rs won't remove any packages marked as explicitly installed, which causes a couple of problems for me:
Say I need to reinstall all my packages for whatever reason; they'll all be marked as explicitly installed, so from that point on I wouldn't be able to search for orphans.
There other case I can think of would be when I reinstall a dependency of some package for whatever reason, then later delete that top package with -Rs, that would mean the dependency and anything it depends on would remain on my system even if I don't really need it.
Does pacman support, or are there any scripts that will go through the package databse and mark all packages that are depended on by other packages as dependencies rather than explicitely installed? Basically reset the explicit flag for anything that isnt a leaf on the tree.

Hi
There are 2 ways in doing this, either by report filtering or by formula, i would highly suggest using a report filter, just click the funnel icon in your webi report and drag your flag object then select Not Equal to condition then select 0.
if you want to use a formula you can type in "=[Person Object] where([flag] = "0")". NOTE: only use "" if your flag is a dimension.
kindly tell me if I'm missing something.

If I have CC on my computer from a former employer, if I start my own account on the same computer do I have to redownload all the programs or will the accounts just switch and that's that?

It's kind of confusing. I bought a computer from work several months ago that has all the CC apps on it. I no longer work for that employer. I'd like to have my own account and pay for it myself, what I am trying to figure out is just do I need to redownload all the apps under my name or it will stay where it is and just be under a different name? It has a ton of preferences I'd rather not have to change.

Locating and installing packages

Recently installed Oracle Linux to host Oracle BI. Going through the BI software requirements, we have a list of software packages that are required. running 'rpm -q -a' to get a list of all installed packages, I see that I am missing several. Where do l locate the missing packages and where should they be placed on my system in order to install them with rpm? For instance, following the instruction in the BI installation guide, I get the following:
[root]# rpm -q -a |grep compat-db >> package_list;view package_list
[root]# rpm -ivh sysstat-4.0.7-4.EL3.3
error: open of sysstat-4.0.7-4.EL3.3 failed: No such file or directory
my system is :

Linux <mask server name> 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 5 23:25:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Also ...
Another item in the software requirements says 'If the hugemem kernel is used .....'
So, how do I determine if it that applies to me?

kpackage ?
[root]# kpackage
-bash: kpackage: command not found
okay, maybe it's not in my PATH
