whenever pacman -S pkgname is given for whichever software it says

for all the mirrors in the list . This started happening since few weeks .

You can also use reflector to get generate an up to date mirrorlist. Though this would involve using pacman. I imagine that you could also simply download the reflector package from the arch web site then install with "packable -U".
Since you have not indicated that the rest of you internet is ridiculously slow, I have to guess that it is your chosen mirror and not your connection.

Failed to load policis from repository in Jdeveloper 11g

Hi All,
While am trying to attach policy to a exposed service/external service to a composite.xml/external service, am getting below error in jdeveloper 11g.

Pacman -S faile to retrieve packages from [custom]

Hi Forum
I have installed Arch in an external USB HDD
/dev/sdb1 -> /boot
/dev/sdb2 -> /
/dev/sdb3 -> swap
/dev/sdb4 -> /mount/Arch_repo
in .../Arch_repo I have a snapshot of [community], [core] and [extra];
I have configured [community], [core] and [extra] in pacman.conf so as to point to the proper locations in the folders.
I also have a /mount/My_repo
in My_repo I dump all packages I built from AUR, plus my own packages created from my own PKGBUILDs and enabled [custom] in pacman.conf to point to that place.
Yet when I run pacman -Syu ( academic example, since my Arch_repo is static, the snapshot is not supposed to change, since this setup will be used to create a LiveDVD as soon as a finish packing and installing everything I want ) pacman complaints it cannot find custom.db.tar.gz.
Good point... it does not exist... ... so pacman does not know the contents of [custom] and whatever i dump there; I have compared to community.db.tar.gz, and found out this gzip is a whole set of folders with the names of packages containing each one the package manifest and the dependences list.
Is there any tool to build this for a custom repo, or must I create this by hand...?
My question is of particular importance since I am thinking about using a tool that checks the the existing packages in the system ( pacman -Q ) and then uses them to build a live Image of that system, ArchISO; if these packages cannot be "seen" inside some repo ( missing custom.db.tar.gz ) their inclusion in my live image is very likely not to occur...
And lots of packages I want to include in my Live contraption are in [custom]... so how do i fix this thing....??
I mean... for ArchISO to work, and include packages from a repo, the tar.gz of that repo's database must exist... is there some way I can create this for [custom]...?

Getting pacman to cache local packages (from AUR)

I want pacman to cache the packages that I build from the AUR. I know that you can trick pacman into doing this by using file://path/to/pkg.
What I want to know is how to make this behavior default for makepkg when it installs built packages using the -i switch. Is that possible?

Yeah, the AUR script.
Thanks.. I missed paccache's ability to look in custom directories.
For now it looks like the best option is what you suggested, then.. To have makepkg put packages into an ~/aurcache of sorts.
progandy wrote:Maybe there should be an option to add user defined directories.
Either that, or an option for makepkg to append file:// when installing built packages.
In the end, though, I'd really prefer to have the packages end up in the actual pacman cache because my root and home partitions are set up with the consideration that the root partition will get full of stuff like cached packages, and not my home partition.

[Solved] Pacman fails to get packages http 403 or 404 error

Hi,
I'm not sure if I should raise this as a bug or not, or indeed if I am doing something fundamentally wrong...
Pacman tells me there are updates to do, but:

Hi flangemonkey,
that mirror was not synced yet when you did the upgrade (the last sync ended today at 10:54 UTC, about 17 mitues after you posted on this borad). It should be ok now, just try to redo the update. Next time, you may want to check first the status of the mirrors https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status

[SOLVED] pacman fails on a package that should've been ignored anyway

Hi all,
I don't understand why the below upgrade isn't working. I exclude the kernel from my normal upgrade command as it prevents me from loading any modules until I reboot, so I typically only upgrade the kernel when I'm about to reboot.
In this case failure to upgrade the kernel is preventing the nVidia driver from being updated also, which is fine, but I don't understand why it then says it can't install 'nvidia' because 'nvidia-utils' is the wrong version - I thought 'nvidia' was going to be skipped? Why is it trying to install it anyway?
Is there a way to get around this without having to manually exclude all these packages?

Last edited by Malvineous (2012-06-17 05:23:21)

Ohhh, so you're saying it ignored nvidia, but tried to upgrade nvidia-utils. nvidia-utils requires nvidia, but nvidia needs a specific version of nvidia-utils which would be broken by upgrading nvidia-utils, so it refuses to upgrade nvidia-utils because of the existing dependency. Right.
So then the second part of my question - how can I get around this without adding nvidia-utils as an IgnorePkg? Can I tell pacman to just ignore it if the deps couldn't be satisfied and keep going with whatever's left?

Take data from renamed column

I created visual web part and used client object model to take data from a list.
Worked perfect, but when I renamed the list column script failed to take data from the list.
When I rename the list column back script worked again.
How I can take data from the list which has rename columns?
Thanks for any help
bnossov

It could be because you are using hard coded column names in your script.
here are different ways you can make your script to work-
1. Use the internal name of the column
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.spfieldcollection.getfield(v=office.14).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.spfieldcollection.getfieldbyinternalname(v=office.14).aspx
2. change the column name in your code to the corresponding new name
3. or

Pacman fails on package android-glass-gdk-19

Need a way to start the package from the point of failed record

Hi,
I have a package which loads billions of records, the problem i am having is when it fails after 1 billion record have to start from the beginning. Is there a way where I can start my load process from the failed record instead of starting from the beginning.
Thanks in advance

Simply implementing checkpoint wont restart package from the failed record onwards. It depends on how you do data transfer. For example if its a data flow task and if its an intermediate step that fails, then it wont start from failed record onwards next
time.
A much better option would be to implement it like this. Have a OnError event handler for the task and inside that use execute sql task to populate a control table with the max key/timestamp value of record which has been extracted.
Each time check if table has a entry and if present take max date/key value from it. Use the value to filter the source data to take only records with value > fetched value to start from next record onwards.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Pacman failed with an error when downgrading a package

Package from AUR failed to install after doing many steps, how to rm?

How can I see what files have been left on my hard drive after a package failed to install. I can't pacman -Rsu the package because it didnt install, but now i got some other packages that i don't need then. and probably some other stuff while the package was being extracted..
How can i prevent from leaving a messy trail?

Yeah gen2ly, i was using yaourt to get a package from AUR.
I was able to uninstall the extra packages that were uninstalled, but is it possible that when the PKGBUILD failed that it left some random files somewhere? That's what I trully want to know. The other dependancies i have already removed.
Hey thanks for the info on unzip, Runiq! unzip works miracles!!!! I installed it, and now the front end "File Roller" AKA "Archive Manager" in Gnome can suddenly handle .zip files! It's awesome! no need for p7zip or xarchiver.
Every newbie or windows transferee should know about it!
But anyways, is it possible the failed PKGBUILD left files somewhere?

[SOLVED] Building VCS packages from AUR fails

When the build starts, makepkg actually downloads source files properly. Any clues?

Trilby wrote:How many packages has this happened with? Can you give an example of one that produces this error? If the download proceeds when the build starts, it sounds like the PKGBUILD is outdated and is manually grabbing the source in the build function (in pacman<4.0 style).
I was building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uefi-shell-svn: a popular and up-to-date PKGBUILD.
Indeed I didn't merge the conf files of clean chroot. There was a makepkg.conf.pacnew, the lacking part in my old makepkg.conf was:
VCSCLIENTS=('bzr::bzr'
'git::git'
'hg::mercurial'
'svn::subversion')
and some small changes. Everything works fine now. Was my bad. Sorry for incovenience and thanks for your help.

I used the following process to clean up these warnings on my DPs:
Setup content validation checks for each of my affected DPs to run every morning (previously only set to weekends). I did this so when I made a change I could validate whether or not it worked the following day. It would be great if there was a way to force
these checks manually but I haven't found a method yet.
After the content validation check completed I filtered through the smsdpmon.log on each affected DP. This revealed the package ID that was causing the issue.
In my environment the package in question was not needed so I deleted it. If it is required I suspect re-distributing it would work as well.
At this stage the problem was still not fully resolved for me. Even though I had deleted the package WMI was still inaccurate. I used this script to scrub WMI on all affected DPs and it picked up the problematic package ID:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Powershell-script-to-fix-81dc4e69
My content validation checks are now passing and the warnings are being cleared. YEAH!
As a final note - After running the PS script Nickolaj posted I ran started seeing dozens of error checks on my packages (Distribution Manager failed to process package "Laptop Drivers" (package ID = XYZ00123).) After doing some research
I found I was prone to this issue:
Failed to start DP health monitoring task. In my case the suspect file was called "Microsoft". I moved it to another location and the errors cleared immediately.
Hope this info is helpful to others!

Install all packages from a given repository?

Is there a way to install every package from a given repository? For example, say I wanted to install every package from core (or at least every non-conflicting package, since systemd-sysvcompat is an issue)? I thought maybe something like '# pacman -S core' might do it, but it didn't.
Back when AIF was still around, I could do this by checking everything at install time, but now it's a multi-step process to collect all the packages and then install them.

For me, I found I was using most of what was in [core] and it was easier for me to just install everything in it than to weed out the handful that I didn't need. Yes, I know there are _that_ many packages in [core], I'm just _that_ lazy.
In another scenario, I could see someone wanting to have an uber-system with absolutely everything possible and available installed. I used to do this a few years back with distros like Fedora where I would do a complete install.
