Pacman -U reports package needing a crazy number of blocks

I'm testing a package provided by a reliable 3rd party and it fails to install on one system, but succeeds on another (both 32-bit systems). On the failing installation, pacman reports that the package requires a crazily huge number of blocks:
# pacman -U <package>

I can install other packages with pacman fine and have never encountered this problem before. My root filesystem is not full:

namcap showed nothing unusual about the package (which is not open source), and checks on my hard drive show nothing amiss.
Would be grateful for any pointers to solve this unusual problem!

Leonid.I wrote:Can you actually extract the package and measure the occupied disk space? Also what does pacman -Qpi <package> say?
Yes - extracted it to a temporary directory and it occupied 6.2M of disk space, according to the du -h command. Directories and files looked fine.
pacman -Qpi =>
Compressed Size: 2485.82 KiB
Installed Size : 6692.00 KiB
All seems reasonable, but .... !
(Also re-archived all the extracted stuff into a .pkg.tar.xz archive and got the same problem.)
Edit: But both the .tar.gz and .tar.xz packages install without error on a second system, upgraded with pacman -Syu today to exactly the same level as the first system!

How to find proc/func name from package name and line number?

Hi,
We are using the pl/sql call stack dump (dbms_utility.format_call_stack) for some debugging purposes. But in the case of a package body execution, the dump does not return the name of the procedure/function that is being executed, but only the name of the package and the line number being executed. So, we have a requirement wherein we need to extract the type and name of a package subunit from the package name and line number.
e.g.
From the information package 'A', line number 739
we should be able to deduce that line 739 is a part of *'function A.f'*
Does the oracle database provide any native mechanism (PL/SQL packages or otherwise) to support such functionality? If it does not, how can we achieve the desired result?
Thanks in advance,
Shashank

The approach we are currently planning to take up is this :
1. Write PL/SQL code to parse the entire source (user_source) and build a database table with a structure like this :
PACKAGE_NAME | UNIT_TYPE | UNIT_NAME | START_LINE | END_LINE
=============================================
A | PROCEDURE | P1 | 20 | 345
A | FUNCTION | F1 | 347 | 629
etc..
2. Start PL/SQL package execution.
3. Keep dumping call stack snapshots whenever a custom debug procedure is called.
4. Dump the package name and line number to a log file.
5. Using the package name and line number, query the table built in step 1 and build the final report which shows the control flow in a readable form.
What we want is to get rid of step 5 and by some means get the logic to extract the unit type and name in step 4 itself.
Keep them coming..
Thanks and regards,
Shashank

Pacman architecture + searching packages via interface

I am aware of the long discussions on GUI's for pacman. But we have to focus on the aspect of usefullness when talking about software development.
Pacman is a package installer etc.. and thus the link between a user and installing applications. Pacman is a very usefull tool/system: It is fast (using the wget option), doesn't breaks easily on dependencies, etc... . But pacman lacks on one big feature: searching!.
If I need to search for a application I will have to use the archlinux website! (using grep and pipe the output is not an option).
Of course I could use the pacman -Ss search-term command but then I could get a long list of unstructured results.
Also if i would like to batch some packages I have to type all of them at once -> this is not a preferable way of working. Whenever I like to install a number of packages at once I have to type all the names. Selecting them in a list is conveniance.
The kde application kpackage is perhaps the best way to implement this functionality. I found a lot of posts on a kpackage plugin but none very informative on the matther of existance.
I am not interested in a real GUI for pacman, but more specific information on pacmans architecture and possibilies to be implemented inside automatisation applications like kpackage.

This is simply not the case.

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

I lost my phone, I don't have internet on my phone and I need the serial number to track it

I lost my phone, I don't have internet on my phone and I need the serial number to track it.. I just have my number and the company service.. Is it possible to know it with my apple ID?

From Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product:

Try that too.

Crystal Reports 2008 Viewer Syntax error number: -2146827286

I have CrystalReportViewer12 installed on Apache/Tomcat 6. I have configured all components as necessary: installed jars and setup web.xml/CRConfig.xml. I can get the report to display appropriately in my jsp page. But when I try to use the Go To Next Page button I receive the following error:

Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Translating the error message on bablefish I get:
Mistake with the store of the data bank information. Mistake in the file Report {C6512421-348A-4621-B1ED-895D28646A0A} .rpt
Which I'm sure is not 100% accurate, but it gives a good hint. As well, because of this:
"Do I need to install an additional / diffrent runtime than 2008 Runtime"
I wonder how you installed the CR 12 runtime on that computer? For more info on CR runtimes, see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
If my suggestion above does not help, make sure the Win\temp directory can be accessed buy the application. Crystal Reports runtime needs to write and read files from the temp directory.

what will be the peoplesoft query to calculate voluntary termination count and involuntary termination count? I am working on OBIA HR analytics workforce deployment reports and need to validate the reports. I also want to know the tables involved

Hi Andrew,
Part A:
I've done some restating of the question, and distributed the calculations among several fields, not all of which need to be included on the visible layout. Other than formatting the Date fields and moving the 'Completed Date' field and its label, I've left this in the default "Layout 1" produced by AppleWorks.
Field List:
Priority: Popup menu with six items: 00, J, D, 1, 2, 3 Defaults to 00
TL (time limit in months): Calculation: CHOOSE('Priority',0,1,3,4,6,12)
Received: Date. Option: Automatically insert today's date (ie. Date Record created) (may be edited)
Target Date: Calculation:
DATE(YEAR('Received')+INT(MONTH('Received')+'TL')/12,MOD(MONTH('Received')+'TL', 12),DAY('Received'))
Remaining (Days): Calculation: INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()) (see revision below)
Completed: Checkbox. Set default value to Unchecked.
Completed Date: Date: Entered manually
OnTarget: Calculation: IF('Completed',IF('Completed Date'<'Target Date',"On Target","Over"),IF(INT(NOW())>'Target Date',"Over","On Target"))
The On Target field shows the current status of the case while still open, and the state on the closing date when it was closed.
Having done that, I was unhappy with the Remaining field continuing to calculate an ever larger negative number after the case had been closed. Hence this revision below:
Remaining: Calculation: IF('Completed','Target Date'-'Completed Date',INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()))
Shows the number of days remaining while the case is open, the days remaining at completion if the case has been marked Completed and the completion date entered.
Rsults (and some further formatting of the Layout) below.
Part B:
You will need Subsummary parts when sorted on Completed and on On Target. Fields can appear on a Layout only once, so each subsummary part will need a separate Summary type field for each field to be summarized.
Regards,
Barry
