Pacman won't upgrade

When I ran pacman it said that there wasn't enough disk space so I ran pacman -Scc (that freed about half my total space). Then I tried pacman -Syu again but that told me that everything is up to date. This isn't true of course because there wasn't enough disk space to update. What can I do? pacman -Q still lists all packages. It seems that it lists the new versions of the packages. Is it possible that it lists inkscape 0.46-6, but that in reality I have an older (not updated because of disk space) version? Will this be problematic or will the packages be updated to the newest version without problems when a new version comes out?
Thank you!

Hi!
If you have some idea of which packages that might be affected by this (possibly) failed update I guess you should be able to just pacman -S <list of packages> and it explictly reinstalls them..
A longer way (still asuming you know which packages that it was about to update) is to run them and see if the version in about boxes (or using  -V for command lines apps) and compare that with what pacman's think about the version installed.
The pacman log should reveal the packages it updated (or if it failed: which packages it thought it updated).
(woho! first post trying to help someone after getting many great tips by reading the forums :-) )

  • [SOLVED] Pacman won't look up gpg keys

    Ever since I upgraded gnupg/gpgme today, pacman won't look up (or rather fail looking up) any missing GPG keys. Relevant part of pacman's output:

    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    Failing to import the key directly through pacman, I tried
    pacman-key --recv-key C06086337C50773E
    which successfully added the key to my keyring.
    I could then install the package. I also tried switching to different keyserves, but without success.
    Everything pacman{, -key} related worked fine until the update, but I can't say for certain that it was the gnupg/gpgme update that broke something.
    Does anyone else have this issue or is there something wrong with my setup? I already thought of opening a bug report, but I want to make sure it's not my fault.
    btw: Hi, everyone :)

    This wasn't explicitly stated above, but to do the manual import with pacman-key, I had to prefix the fingerprint with 0x, as so:
    $ sudo pacman-key -r 0x5C2E46A0F53A76ED
    However, the default keyserver is giving me problems currently:
    $ sudo pacman-key -r 0x5C2E46A0F53A76ED
    Password:
    gpg: requesting key F53A76ED from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
    gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: End of file
    gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
    gpg: Total number processed: 0
    ==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.
    So in the end, I used a different keyserver:
    sudo pacman-key -r 0x5C2E46A0F53A76ED --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
    Hope that helps anyone else.

  • ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

    iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
    When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows  installer package. Contact the package vendor".
    It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
    Any smarts out there who could help?
    Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
    Thanks much

    I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience.  I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP.  I think I was stuck on 10. 
    I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app.  I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found.  I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs.  Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it.  After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
    I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer.  I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

  • I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    How did you "move everything" over?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • Itunes won't upgrade IOS on device

    Using ITunes 10.2, and Mac OS X ver 10.6.7.  I'm trying to update Iphone 4 and IPad to IOS 4.3.3 and ITunes won't upgrade the device. It download the upgrade, backs up the device, but then says, I don't have the authorization to update the device.  Sometimes if I log on as a test user, with admin rights it will allow the change, but then it wipes all the information and files on the device too.
    The apple's primary account, with ITunes is what I use to sync and download new apps and stuff, it should also be able to update the IOS, any ideas why it's not letting me?

    Then I tried to update itunes and nothing happened.  It wouldn't even start to upgrade.
    With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • I Photo Libraries on ext HD won't upgrade, permissions 'cannot be repaired'

    We need to know the format. Is it a NAS? FAT or NTSC? Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Any but the last of these will cause you issues.

    How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    If you have an iPhone 3G as stated in your profile, it can not be upgraded to iOS 5. 4.2.1 is the highest possible.
