Pacman download corrupt extension(Solved)

Download of libpng for x86_64 produces a download with the extension .pkg.tar.xz...instead of .pkg.tar.gz.
Whazzup?
EDIT: Same for avahi, smbclient and fluidsynth.

PierreL:
The problem is not what you suggest. I have dutifully performed upgrades almost every day. Some of them take half the day to perform since I have a backup HDD which needs the same upgrade. The size of recent upgrades has made the system unuseable for most of the day waiting for the upgrades to finish.
That being said, I have a system that is up to date. This does not say that I know what each and every package downloaded and installed does for the system. Some things cause repercussions.
In this case, the repercussions are in an arch-related Live USB boot system wherein I use a cachedir of pacman packages which can be installed via pacman -U into the live system. This live system is not subject to archlinux upgrades which permit the use of pacman .gz and pacman .xz packages.
Therefore when utilizing xz packages in the cachedir, pacman -U cannot install xz extension packages (nor can it delete them since it cannot handle a "corrupt" package).
What has happened is the archlinux admins have decided to utilize the xz format and have provided for it . in a normal sense for usual download and installs.
It seems that cachedir packages installed via pacman -U do not fit the "normal" install mode. Therefore, the corrupt package result.
The cachedir I utilize saves time and is a raid cache which installs rapidly. It has 16 gb of storage available.
Whazzup? I need to know how to provide for a compatible pacman -U install of both gz and xz packages in a live usb archlinux based OS.
Certainly the pacman -U cammand is not dead yet. But it isn't compatible with the xz format.
I have used my raid cache for two years or more and now its defunct.
Allan:
Is xz format useable with a cache array utilizing pacman -U to install cached packages? If it is, what change is necessary to permit the install of xz "corrupt" packages.

Pacman: bzip2 corrupted. [SOLVED]

During the latest update, pacman came up with an error saying bzip2 was corrupt. So I tried to reinstall it, but pacman complained on some bzip2 file dependencies which existed. So I tried to remove bzip2 with pacman, which didn't work because of the same dependencies. This is where I screwed up. I used mc to manually remove all the files pacman was complaining about to be able to install bzip2 again. What I didn't know was that pacman depend on bzip2, so I kind of cut off the branch I was sitting on. This is my position: I have a fully working system, except for a missing bzip2 package which makes it impossible to run pacman.
Can anyone tell me if I can recover from this?

Probably the mirror was not in sync or corrupted or still syncing... doesn't matter now.
Try to download the package directly from another mirror, or use this link:
http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/archl … pkg.tar.gz
after the download finishes unpack the package and try to move every file where it belongs, there are not very many files to put in place
here pacman -Ql bzip2
bzip2 /bin/
bzip2 /bin/bunzip2
bzip2 /bin/bzcat
bzip2 /bin/bzip2
bzip2 /bin/bzip2recover
bzip2 /lib/
bzip2 /lib/libbz2.so
bzip2 /lib/libbz2.so.1
bzip2 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0
bzip2 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0.4
bzip2 /usr/
bzip2 /usr/include/
bzip2 /usr/include/bzlib.h
bzip2 /usr/lib/
bzip2 /usr/lib/libbz2.a
bzip2 /usr/lib/libbz2.so
bzip2 /usr/share/
bzip2 /usr/share/licenses/
bzip2 /usr/share/licenses/bzip2/
bzip2 /usr/share/licenses/bzip2/LICENSE
bzip2 /usr/share/man/
bzip2 /usr/share/man/man1/
bzip2 /usr/share/man/man1/bunzip2.1.gz
bzip2 /usr/share/man/man1/bzcat.1.gz
bzip2 /usr/share/man/man1/bzip2.1.gz
bzip2 /usr/share/man/man1/bzip2recover.1.gz
after that reinstall bzip2 from pacman, force if necessary

If i download any file which is prepare on microsoft office 2007 . The file have been download without extension of the prog. Means if files name is "1,docx" when i download from firefox it download in that form "1". after download i have to rename and give the extension name is plz tell me the way that office files are compatible with it.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i download the office files

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

Possible corrupt extension problem? (G4 - OS 9.1)

After a bad shutdown, (my fault) of my G4 everything still worked ok apart from one weird problem. Some of the programs I use (Quark for instance) don't 'remember' the previous file location. For instance, if I dig down some folders and pull up a file, and then immediately try to open up another file from the same location, the program defaults to the desktop, and I have to dig through the folders again. It's the same with 'Save As', it always defaults to one particular location, not the previously used one.
I've tried desktop rebuild, zapping the PRAM, Diskwarrior, (which found some errors it corrected, and I've used 'scavenge' mode), Norton Disk Doctor but still the problem pesists.
I tried deleting the System Preferences file, which actually worked, until I rebooted.
I've now tried re-installing 9.1 (but haven't yet tried a 'Clean Install').
I've just booted up with extensions off, and all programs work as they should, i.e. they remember the previous file location just used.
So, I'm thinking it might be a corrupted extension, but haven't a clue which one affects the file location issue above.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Would this problem get solved by doing a 'clean install'? I've backed-up the existing system folder, however, I'm worried that if I do a clean install, I will have to copy back all my existing extensions & preference files, which will probably re-introduce the same problem.
Please could someone advise on the best way forward?
By the way, I've experienced this problem previously, and running Diskwarrior fixed it, but not this time. I ran Norton first, and have since found out that this can create further problems, and that I should have run Diskwarrior first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is getting to me.
Thanks
Paul

Hi, Paul -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
There is a setting in the General Controls control panel for that, in the section named Documents. The choice of "Last folder used in the application" should be selected to achieve what you want.
Sometimes a preference file gets damaged or corrupted, and the OS will behave erratically. The solution for that is to throw away the preference file and restart; a new one will be created with default settings. In this case, try throwing away the preference file named General Controls Prefs, empty the Trash, then restart. Once rebooted, open the General Controls control panel and reset that option.
If you can not make that setting in General Controls control panel -
Make sure the following are turned on in Extensions Manager: Multiple Users (Control Panels); Multi-User Startup (Extensions); Security Library (Extensions); Security Manager (Extensions). Note that Multiple Users can be turned off within the control panel, it just needs to be in the active set.
Add more memory to General Controls control panel (in spite of its designation, it's actually an application). Doubling the original amount is usually sufficient.

I followed your help directions on "Corrupt extension files" under "Unable to install add-ons", foolishly deleting the files you told me to. Now firefox won't open. I tried reinstalling firefox but it still won't open. Now what do I do?

I was trying to install the SEOQuake add on. After clicking install Firefox would hang up saying the script had timed out and asking if I want to stop it or continue. Didn't matter which option I chose nothing would happen. The only way to stop it was to close Firefox and restart. Tried restarting the computer. Still wouldn't install. Tried installing the Outwit add on and got the same error leading me to conclude it was a problem with Firefox, not the add on. I found this help page <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons?s=addons+won't+install&as=s> and did everything it told me to. Finally at the end I got to "Corrupt extension files". I foolishly deleted the files you told me to and now Firefox won't even start! I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still won't start. Tried restarting the computer. I have no idea how to get back to where I was let alone install the add ons I wanted to install. Please help. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get Firefox working.

See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Rasco1 it sounds like your managed network needs to be configured to allow you to download successfully. You can find more details in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

Can't download JUNIT extension via "check for updates"

Hi,
since a few weeks (with jdev 11.1.1.1.0 and jdev 11.1.1.2.0) I can't download e.g. JUNIT extensions via "check for updates".
I have to enter a password but authentication is not possible.
Even when I reset the passord (via "find password") it does not work any more.
Im 100% sure that this worked some time ago without problems.
I can access http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/update/center.xml#oracle.jdeveloper.junit and download the extension manually.
regards
Peter

Peter,
no problems on my side with my account. I did it yesterday without any problem.

I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen? It says I need to have flash 7 or higher. I have the most update flash available according to my browsers.

If you are using Flash Pro CC 2014, please update Extension Manager CC to 7.2.1. Then please confirm whether Flash is shown in the product panel of Extension Manager CC. If not, please refer to Re: Why can't I see InDesign CC in my Extension Manager CC.
