Pacman upgrade missing current

Hi!
I just performed a full system upgrade 'pacman -Syu'. There was a new version of pacman so I upgraded pacman first, but when it was done my current mirror list in /etc/pacman.d/ was missing... Can someone help me so that I can make a new current mirror list?

Im having problems updating pacman itself.  I know everyone has said wait for the servers to sync, but, hasn't there been enough time for that to have happened already?
Once Im finished the base installation, I try and update pacman, but, Im never able to download the new version.  It runs through the server lists, but doesn't connect.  However, I know I am connected as Ive downloaded other files...
Any idea what's up?
i had the same problem 2/3 times i tried this morning. it's very weird.
i did a pacman -Syu but it did not find latest pacman. the third time i tried the installation all went fine. and -Syu found the latest version of pacman.

  • Pacman & the missing mkinitcpio hook

    Hi all,
    A pretty general question, but do people find files missing that should have been installed?
    I had just upgraded the current testing versions of mkinitcpio (0.4.2-1) and cryptsetup (1.0.3-2). One of the main differences in the upgrade is the movement of the mkinitcpio encrypt hook from the mkinitcpio package to the cryptsetup package. But the outcome of the upgrade left me without a encrypt hook, and I was left wondering where the encrypt hook had disappeared to...in some way a concern of dtw in this thread [split] fbsplash & mkinitcpio became concrete. I had read that thread a month ago, it wasn't upmost in my mind when trying to figure out where the encrypt hook had gone- remember that the most recent testing cryptsetup claimed it was installed, I was going to start on a thread on the missing hook.
    So, anyway, if I upgraded mkinitcpio and cryptsetup during the same pacman session could things be loused up? I don't recall doing a force, but was it all down to operator error?
    cheers

    brain0: I did reinstall cryptsetup once I realised that's where the encrypt hook is now, so that's fine. It was a comment by you in the new initramfs, testers welcome thread that helped- I didn't see any note when installing mkinitcpio 0.4.2-1.
    I'm not saying it was because of the move of the hook from one package to another, just that I spent some time wondering what had gone wrong in the packaging of the 0.4.2 version of mkinitcpio (when nothing actually had)- more a cognitive issue than technical!
    Nope, no XFS here! Thanks for the bug report link, I was in the dark about that past pacman bug, and I'll look out for anything more.
    Thanks all.

  • Pacman upgrade, safe or unsafe, how to choose ?

    I'm coming from the gentoo and BSD world (yet I still keep BSD for my servers).
    My questions is related to the pacman upgrade process. I would like to know if it will be possible to have a safe upgrade mechanism ?
    When we are making such upgrade, this is always a balance choice between the stability and the last patches/upgrade. With Arch, if I'm correct, users cannot choose.
    If it's not implemented within the Pacman processes, it will be interesting to let users possibilities to choose if they prefer stability versus latest versions of packages.
    This would be implemented within the repository, by flagging packages: "very safe", "safe", "latest", "testing" (just for example).
    That way people would be able to sync their machine with the repository corresponding to their choice.
    Would it be possible within Archlinux ?
    Have you already look at that kind of feature ?
    If yes, What's the "road map" ?
    Thanks.
    PS:
    Sorry, if this was already discussed.
    I've not found it.

    im not totally sure on this, but from what i understand, current and extra are supposed to be "the latest stable" where testing and unstable would be "the latest and greatest".
    so i guess good practice would be to only enable testing and unstable if you are looking for "latest" and "testing" otherwise upgrades from current and extra should be safe-very safe 99% of the time.

    Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
    What version did you have?
    Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

  • Since upgrading to current version I lost my card log in feature

    I used to be able to save my usernames and passwords so that I wouldn't have to manually type them in. Why don't I have that since upgrading to current version?

    Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page called about:home
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home with extras then set another page as the home page like www<i></i>.google<i></i>.com or www<i></i>.google<i></i>.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • How I upgrade my current version of Apple Safari?

    I am trying to log into hotmail and the message is "upgrade your current version of Apple Safari". When I ask for software update the computer says "Software Update doesn’t have any new software for your computer at this time." what should I do?
    Thanks

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to switch browsers.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

  • [solved]pacman upgrade issue using axel

    i changed the default downloading tool to axel, but ervery time before i run pacman -Syu, i need to rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*.db. If I don't do this, axel can't overwrite the database automatically, which can result in the fail of pacman upgrade.
    what should i do so needn't i rm the db files before upgrade.

  • Is there a way to upgrade my current InDesign CS6 to 8 without purchasing another license?

    Is there a way to upgrade my current InDesign CS6 to 8 without purchasing another license? Perhaps there's an option to pay for an upgrade that I don't know of that is still less than the cost of a full license?

    CS6 IS version 8. If you mean one of the CC versions (9 or 10) which are only available by subscription it depends. IF your CS6 is a subscription license you may install the newer versions at any time. If it was a standalone perpetual license it cannot be upgraded without paying for a new subscription.

  • Rsyslogd refuses to start after pacman upgrade

    Hello,
    After last pacman upgrade rsyslog refused to start.
    This also caused boot problems - systemd would go into infinite loop trying to start rsyslog and failing miserably.
    I've disabled rsyslog.service from chroot environment and booted from disk - it helped.
    I've also noticed that latest package version (  rsyslog-7.2.6-4-x86_64)  does not ship with /etc/rsyslog.conf, so
    upgrading to it removes this file which is why rsyslog refused to start
    Downgrading, copying file elsewhere and moving it back to /etc/rsyslog.conf is a simple workaround.
    Previous package versions had this file inside ( I checked rsyslog-7.2.4-1 and rsyslog-7.2.6.1, both for x64)
    Hope that helps someone.
    Should I perform anny additional steps to resolve this issue ( e.g open a bug ? )
    Thanks for any help!

    The package was changed with 7.2.6-4 to copy rsyslog-example.conf to /usr/share/doc/rsyslog/ rather than as configuration to /etc.
    Probably because the rsyslog devs apparently changed it in a way that causes the program to instantly go into an infinite loop.
    Since it won't start at all without /etc/rsyslog.conf present, I just copied the default Debian ships 7.2.6 with (available in here). Works properly so far.
