Pacman TotalDownload bug?

Hi,
I have the TotalDownload option set in pacman.conf.
If i install something with more than 1 package, then the first package always seems to show 100% rather than the percentage of the total files.
e.g.
:: Retrieving packages from core...
hdparm-8.9-1-i686 48.0K 75.4K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
module-init-tools-3... 341.9K 70.9K/s 00:00:05 [#####################] 1%
kernel26-2.6.26.2-1... 25.3M 114.9K/s 00:03:46 [#####################] 82%
Is this a bug?
Kane

I can replicate intermittently.  Can you please file a bug report?
Edit:  Just so I remember my replication...

  • Pacman: Possible bug with readonly filesystems

    Background info
    I have the following partitions on my desktop:
    /boot
    /home
    /opt
    /usr
    /usr/local
    /var
    /var/local
    Now, I normally have /, /home and /var mounted read-write and /boot, /opt, /usr, /usr/local and /var/local mounted read-only (if I crash the box, it reduces the potential for data corruption).  I have a script that I manually call to mount the read-only partitions read-write, and return then to read-only again (called remountsys).  If I want to install/remove/upgrade/etc packages, I run remountsys to set partitions read-write, then pacman, then remountsys to set partitions read-only.
    The problem
    If I forget (through my own stupidity) to remount the partitions read-write and run, say "pacman -Rs mplayer", obviously it cannot remove mplayer and churns out lots of "read only filesystem" errors, as it should.  However, it still removes mplayer from /var/lib/pacman/local, so pacman no longer things mplayer is installed, but the files are still on the system.  Another "pacman -Rs mplayer" obviously doesn't do anything because it doesn't think it's installed, and trying to reinstall mplayer doesn't work because of conflicting files.  I tried a "pacman -Sf", but it does not always work (I can't remember the specifics, but I believe it failed when symlinks were involved).  I basically have to manually remove any files left on the system, which can be a real pest.
    My thoughts
    Shouldn't pacman have error checking, basically to make sure that the package was uninstalled before it removes it from /var/lib/pacman/local?  Does this count as a bug, and thus belong in the bug tracker?  I realise this can all be solved by me not being quite so forgetful (or paranoid about my data), but I still consider this to be a flaw in pacman.
    Disclaimer: mplayer is just an example that sprang to mind because I'm using it just now.  This applies to all packages.

    I don't think this qualifies as a bug, simply because it's already a pacman feature:
    usage: pacman {-R --remove} [options] <package>
    options:
    <snip>
    -k, --dbonly only remove database entry, do not remove files
    Offhand, I can't think of a situation where I would use it, but presmably it's there for a reason.

    Sounds reasonable - unless, of course, the -k flag above is used. Post a feature request.

  • "pacman -Qu" bug?

    hi all,
    bugs site is down, so i'm writing this here.
    when running
    # pacman -Qu
    lyx 1.6.3-1
    sqlite3 3.6.16-1
    subversion 1.6.4-1
    tzdata 2009k-1
    but
    # pacman -Su
    :: Starting full system upgrade...
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for inter-conflicts...
    Targets (4): lyx-1.6.4-1 [10.35 MB] sqlite3-3.6.17-1 [0.40 MB] subversion-1.6.5-1 [6.86 MB] tzdata-2009l-1 [0.56 MB]
    Total Download Size: 18.17 MB
    Total Installed Size: 73.98 MB
    note that the first versions are the old ones.
    bug or feature?
    vlad

    nah, has nothing to do with mirrors. upgrading works. i noticed this earlier.
    btw, i liked the former behaviour more. "pacman -Qu" showed the same as "pacman -Su" but without the installation prompt.
    so you see what you'd get.

  • Pacman proxy bug?

    Hi,
    Well, my ISP is kind of funny you know. FTP traffic is quite slow about 40kB/s, unless you put it through a HTTP proxy. Apart from that, my ISP has a transparent proxy on port 80 (you can't walk around it unfortunately). Additionally it filters everything on the common proxy ports like 8080. So, it doesn't metter what proxy you specify, everything goes throu theirs.
    Since most of the downloads in pacman are done from ftp, I decided to proxy the traffic. I've put
    ProxyServer = w3cache.fordon.intelink.pl:8080
    Note: this is the real address of my ISPs transparent proxy.
    Updating pacage listings works just fine:

    This happens regardles of what I put in pacman.conf. I tried with the public w3cache proxy of one of our Universities:
    ProxyServer = w3cache.icm.edu.pl:8080
    Same results. I didn't expect anything to change, since my ISP's transparent proxy would pick this connection instead (my queries never really get to w3cache.icm.edu.pl since they are answered by w3cache.fordon.intelink.pl instead).
    I can download using pacman's built-in downloader without problems when no ProxyServer is set. But then, the transfers are really slow
    Finally, I got it working using
    XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp --proxy=on -c -O %o %u
    With this, it works great. No problems with the same proxies or anything. But the output sucks and is really hard to read.
    However, I can live with wget, I'd rather pacman not to have bugs, so I thought I'd let you know.

    I can replicate intermittently.  Can you please file a bug report?
    Edit:  Just so I remember my replication...

  • File System Corrupted - Now /var/lib/pacman messed up

    My root partition managed to get corrupted, fsck fixed things for the most part. The main long lasting problem seems to be in /var/lib/pacman. A bunch of the files from extra and a few from community are now missing. When I tried to do a pacman -Syu it updated a few things but also gave a long list of errors since it couldn't find the desc files:

    As a test I tried doing a pacman -S to reinstall one of those packages, and it gave the same error as well as complaining about the missing depends file. After I told it to install the already up to date package pacman kept saying that the package was corrupted. Any way to fix this short of doing a reinstall?

    These files have to do with the pacman database of all packages, not of installed packages (which are in /var/lib/pacman/local). I would suggest trying 'pacman -Syy' to clean that up, and if you still have the same sorts of errors afterwards that would suggest quite annoying disk corruption.

  • Bug Squashing Day 10/15

    Hi everyone,
    We're going to hold another bug squashing day this coming Sunday, the 15th
    of October.
    It's been quite a while since our last one, but it will still work the
    same as it used to. Simply take a look at http://bugs.archlinux.org , find
    a nasty bug you don't like, and find a way to fix it.
    As always, everyone is welcome to join us on freenode.net in
    #archlinux-bugs to discuss bugs. We'll try to have at least one
    developer in there all day long to help out.
    Happy hunting,
    -S

    im off to bed guys, 10pm sunday here.
    ~50 bugs squashed so far, many just old ones, many already fixed. found plenty of bugs to assign to myself for later fixing too
    bugs I noticed while raiding that may be worth taking a look at:
    makepkg: http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?tas … us=&date=0
    heaps of makepkg bugs in there, many easy fixes, and small safe feature additions. a consolidated patch would be great.
    ATI open source drivers:
    few bugs in there regarding CPU usage and locking up. Someone go raid the Xorg/DRI mailing lists and CVS for a fix.
    Installation Guide:
    http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4169
    Ought to be perused and made sure it's up to date with tpowa's new ISOs, mkinitcpio and friends.
    openvpn:
    multiple openvpn bugs, feel free to consolidate or post new PKGBUILD.
    xvidcap:
    it's always broken: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4075
    no coloured output on pacman:
    http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/1105
    needs some research to find exact problem
    website:
    the website's located in CVS somewhere, and there's a pile of bugs for it, so dont hesitate to attack the source of the website and submit patches. im sure someone will know the CVS location if you ask around. try searching the TU ml.
    netcfg/network profile/network scripts:
    Try NOT to attack these, there's new network scripts in development that will have them solved, so any patches will most likely go ignored.
    lighttpd:
    couple of bugs lying around, search, consolidated PKGBUILD with fixes might be nice.
    kernel modules:
    plenty of modules still have broken .install files that call depmod -A (uppercase A). These need to be hunted down and fixed.
    If you've got any other bugs guys, report them. If you have any fixes, report them. Fixed PKGBUILDs are always nice too.

  • Bug after pacman -Syu

    Since a few days, I have been having issues with my 4 year old Arch desktop, including lockups while X is running, hangs in shutdown process with my screen filling with lines I could only get glimpses of, and, lately, a simple "pacman -Syu" would cause my computer to become unresponsive.
    Today I decided to try and create a new arch installation with the latest media available (2011.08.19 x86_64). With my fresh system, I can already see that at least one of my issues has not gone away. In a tty as root, pacman -Syu proceeded to upgrade my system, readily downloaded the packages and installed them, but, at the end of the process, here is what got printed on my screen (copied from /var/log/messages.log) :

    This time my computer did not become unresponsive, but the output presented above does look alike what I could catch before I reinstalled my system (althoug maybe I have seen RIP instead of RSP in the line before the last one). I have no clue what is going. I am not enclined to think this is hardware related as I have a Chakra install and a Windows7 install that work fine.
    I did look at the bug reports and searched the forums but could not see anything that seems remotely related to what I am facing. Apologies in advance if I missed something.
    I would be happy to have anyone's insight about my issue.
    Cheers

    Thank you both for your answers (that I did not see until today).
    To litemotiv : a 7-hour memcheck did not raise any error. I am not sure how to report such a bug, though.
    To falconindy : here are the lines above the one I gave previously. I do not see anything useful but I would be pleased to be enlightened

    My / is on /dev/sdc5, ext3 filesystem. I formated this partition when I reinstalled my system on March 8th.
    Should I try and run a fsck.ext3 on this partition to see if anything is wrong ? What about the "Mar  9 21:22:48 localhost kernel: [    5.760798] EXT4-fs (sdc5): re-mounted. Opts: (null)" line ? Is it normal t is mentionned EXT4-fs while the filesystem on this partition is ext3 ?
    Thanks

    Yes, this is a very old known bug. You don't have to care: it has no impact at all.
    Hey! Have a look at the bugtracker: it is nearly the birthday of this bug
    I forgot it was existing until I upgraded xfree86 yesterday.
    I've made a fix for it today.
    It should be corrected soon. Stay tuned

  • Pacman bug or?

    Heya..
    I download muffin-git from aur, and then edit the recipe to contain , replaces, provides and conflicts=("${_pkgname}") which is muffin.
    Even so, when doing makepkg -si, say, pacman doesn't resolve correctly, and exits with files already exists. If I remove muffin, it works obviously.
    It's a bit odd, but I don't know if my system is for some reason borked in the db, or if someone can replicate (this particular package).
    I cannot replicate the issue with other packages, only this one.
    EDIT: and before the foaming mouth appear.. yes I am perfectly sure it is just me not understanding the resolving tree path here.. but just want someone with a helpful feedback on it. ,x

  • Pacman bug?

    I just noticed that the download percentage doesn't change when synchronizing packages database
    (pacman -Syu)
    This is my /etc/pacman.conf
    [options]
    HoldPkg = pacman glibc
    SyncFirst = pacman
    ShowSize
    UseDelta
    TotalDownload
    ILoveCandy
    [core]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
    [extra]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
    [community]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
    and my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:
    Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
    Server = ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
    Server = ftp://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/ArchLinux/$repo/os/i686

    I missed the keyword 'percentage' when I read the OP, my bad.

  • Pacman or package bug with codecs-20061022-1

    I have noticed that every time I do a pacman -Syu, pacman insists on upgrading the package codecs-20061022-1 from extra/multimedia. Now, I have no idea whether this is a local issue or a bug. Just wondering if anyone has this issue. My search on the forums and in the bug reports gave nothing.
    Cheers.

    Outputs are:
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20060611-1/desc:%VERSION%
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20060611-1/desc-20060611-1
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20061022-1/desc:%VERSION%
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20061022-1/desc-20061022-1
    and:
    %VERSION%
    20061022-1
    Cheers.

  • [solved] Why is it possible to report bugs for pacman 3.5.4?

    I thought we mustn't report bugs for outdated packages. What is the use case here?

    I thought the deal was "you can use whatever version you want, as long as it's the latest one" :-)

  • [SOLVED]Pacman error or bug?

    The progress bar is still based solely on the current file download.
    Are you sure about the percentage?
    Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
    :: Retrieving packages from extra...
    djvulibre-3.5.24-2-i686 919,0 KiB 644K/s 00:01 [###########################] 90%
    libdvdread-4.2.0-1-i686 974,4 KiB 547K/s 00:02 [###########################] 95%
    libdvdnav-4.2.0-1-i686 1019,9 KiB 483K/s 00:02 [###########################] 100%
    Or do you mean they start from 0% for every target? Mine don't, I can't reproduce it.

  • [BUG] memleak in pacman?

    hi
    when installing big packages (xorg, etc) pacman's memory usage is very intersting. it starts with 5-6 MB and while installing the pakage it uses more than 100MB(!). it is very bad when using pacman on a computer wich has only 64MB of phisical memory and 128 MB swap
    this is normal, or it is a memory leak?
    usually it ends with the oom killer's kill :cry:
    greetings

    No no, this problem was fixed in Arch months ago.  VMiklos is having the problem in frugalware, not Arch.
