[SOLOVED] 'pacman -S yaourt' tries for 64bit package-query on 32bit

I've been getting a 32bit chroot installed recently and have started over several times for learning and documentation purposes. One issue that has occurred every time is as follows:
- Per the ArchWiki, I have added the following to /opt/arch32/etc/pacman.conf to allow for 'pacman -S yaourt':
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
- the only uncommented mirror in /opt/arch32/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist is:
--- Server = http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis … po/os/i686
- everything that follows is done from my 32bit chroot, setup per the ArchWiki, with base and base-devel, daemon started, etc.
- pacman -Syu && pacman -S yaourt
- I have gotten this output every time I've tried:
[jwhendy@bigBang ~]$ sudo pacman -S yaourt

So... everything pacman is grabbing is i686 except package-query. Why in the world would this be? I would assume this happens on an actual 32bit install as well, but not sure... Could it have to do with me being on a 32bit chroot? I can't figure out how it would selectively be grabbing i686 and 64bit packages given my pacman.conf and mirrorlist, though...
- Workaround:
--- I've been just doing 'pacman -S curl yajl' and then using makepkg -si to install package-build from AUR
I wanted to post this, though, as I think something is wrong in a depends list or repo somewhere to be causing this time after time.
Is this me being stupid or is there something else going on here?

1. First I issued 'pacman -R yaourt' and 'pacman -R package-query' to force a reinitiation of the package-query download
2. sudo pacman --debug -S yaourt:

Pacman installation very slow for some packages

Lately pacman is acting a bit strange here. Some packages takes several minutes to install, even if they are small packages. An example of such packages is kdebase-runtime.
If a run a normal pacman -S kdebase runtime the installation process hangs for 2-3 minutes at this point:
(1/1) reinstalling kdebase-runtime [############################################################] 100%
It happens every time I reinstall the package, and also when I upgrade it to a new version
If I run pacman -S --debug kdebase-runtime, I can see that it hangs at:
debug: executing "/usr/bin/bash" under chroot "/"
This happens when I run pacman via sudo, when I'm root and when I use a frontend like yaourt.
How can I debug this issue?
Edit: here are some benchmarks I did with the time command before pacman (time pacman -S <package name>). Of course I'm doing this with already downloaded packages, so that the download time is not taken into account.

I tried also with deleting all cache from pacman cache folder, with *.part file.
Last night was working fine, but this morning again, same issue.

[SOLVED]Trying to install package-query again. Cannot find PKGBUILD.

I'm updating my arch after 4 months. Yes it has been a long time.
During the update process I had to remove package-query and yaourt, and now I'm trying to get them back.
I got package-query from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35915
Untared it, went inside, and did makepkg -s, but the PKGBUILD could not be found. I looked through the directories and didn't see a PKGBUILD anywhere.
Am I missing something?

Did you click the 'Download Tarbel' link on the right side of the page? (Correct choice)
Or the link under the Sources Bar ? (Incorrect choice)

Pacman fails when trying to select packages.[Solved]

I have tried installing off the 2009.02 amd64 iso on a new build, i have successfully partitioned my hdd and have come to select packages, attempting to install over FTP. When selecting option 3 in the installer i get the usual two stage warning then an error message "Pacman preparation failed! check /dev/tty7 for errors." checking /dev/tty7 gives me the error "/arch/setup: line 715: /usr/bin/pacman: Input/output error" does anyone have any suggestion how i might fix this? Thanks.
//Edit
I think that my CD was incorrectly burnt, i am not sure if this was as a result of the download from the mirror or from the actual burning process. I have successfully [?!] installed arch off a newly downloaded copy of the .iso from another mirror.

Yup, I just ran it with the force option and everything installed and upgraded fine.
Thanks.

Pacman needs two tries to download packages or sync

I have a tiny issue bugging me about Pacman. For every action connecting to the internet, Pacman hangs (to which I control-c). When I do it the second time, it works fine. The works repeatedly, too: every other command doesn't hang. I've tried going into su - and trying it, still only every other command works. I've also tried this with different mirrors, with no success. I am not using a custom XferCommand. This is with the latest Pacman in core - v3.2.2 wih libalpm v3.1.1.

If you mean the connection hangs, it happens occassionally to me. You can try using a different downloader via XferCommand. Seems to work for me.

Cannot upgrade pacman due to conflict with package-query [SOLVED]

Package query 0.9 requires pacman <4, package-query 1 requires pacman >=4, therefore I am totally unable to upgrade, even using pacman -f
I'm aware that package-query is unsupported software, but this seems a bit stupid to me! Am I to uninstall package-query and therefore yaourt, only to reinstall them by hand, or is there a safe workaround?

Or, realistically, 5 minutes.
But if that is too much for you to spare, rather than bemoaning the fact that the developers have spent a significant amount of time and effort on this upgrade that will cause you such inconvenience, you could just install another distro - that would probably eat a day.
Every other distro I've tried is inferior and eats up far more frustration time than Arch, which is why it's now on all my machines. I'm still putting off upgrading my 4 machines, though - because painful recent experience tells me that the chances of all 4 getting through this without day-eating breakage is about 6% (If you want a laugh at my expense, see this woeful example of breakage https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27385). And yes, I'm aware that the longer I put it off, the worse my chances get.
Edit:
machine one (netbook).
Time taken so far: 44 minutes (inc reading up on a few errors, plus line-by-line comparison of rc.conf.pacnew, reboot plus check of basic system workiness, plus waiting unsuccessfully for package-query source to download).
Status: yaourt uninstallable (package-query git server appears to be down), openjdk6 broken due to bug, system otherwise appears healthy.
Prognosis: Total 90 minutes for 4 machines seems a reasonable (optimistic) estimate, but I'll further put the other machines off until package-query git server is back up and running.
And many apologies, this has veered somewhat off-topic and off-forum. I will probably make this my last post and let it die.
Further edit: How do I mark a thread as SOLVED? I can't see an option anywhere, or any way to edit the thread title!
edit: Nevermind, the trick is to edit the first post in the thread, it would seem.

Pacman freezes when trying to download extra.db.tar.gz

pacman keeps on trying to update packages in extra forever and ever. When doing pacman -v --debug -Syu, it stays in the line
debug: connected to mir.archlinux.fr successfully
downloading extra.db.tar.gz...
After running "rankmirrors", I still have the same problem.
Do you have the same problem? Thank you.

can you wget files from mir.archlinux.fr ? and extra.db.tar.gz in particular ?
Did you try to uncomment XferCommand in /etc/pacman.conf ?

Error: target not found: package-query =1.0 although I have it

I used to work on Arch but it was installed for me by a friend, now I decided to install it on my own and it was a success! But when I tried installing yaourt it didn't work. I know that it needs package-query so I installed it, but when I try to build yaourt it fails..

Even if I use -f to overwrite I get always the same output. Does anybody know how to fix this? I was really used to use yaourt to install packages from AUR. Thanks.

Sure.

(Solved) package-query trying to downgrade pacman

i want to install yaourt on my system. one of its dependencies package-query (also AUR) depends upon pacman <= 3.6 for installing, while i have pacman 4.0.0rc1-1 on my system. so when i try to install it, it tries to downgrade my pacman to 3.5.4-4.
is there a way around it? any suggestions would be welcome, even if its very unlikely (i would love to tinker)

Pacman throws "unrecognized archive format" error for .xz packages

Hi,
I am recently getting the following error while installing packages which are in .xz format only.
for e.g.
sudo pacman -S pacman //works fine. as it is packaged in a .gz format
sudo pacman -S xterm // error while reading pakage /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz -- unrecognized archive format: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.
I tried using the -U switch to install it -- I got the following little different message:
$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
error: error while reading pakage /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz: unrecognized archive format: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz': libarchive error
I have libarchive-2.8.4-1 on my system ( I have reinstalled it. )
[more info]
I used ltrace to see what is happening, here is the trace around the point where I am getting the error:
alpm_trans_commit(,,, <unfinished ...>

Can't update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt

Everything was fine until I manually installed package-query and yaourt and now I am unable to update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt.
Earlier I was having trouble installing the package-query and yaourt packges using pacman so had to install them manually and now it wont connect to the repos.
My eth0 is up, the proxies are set, all browsers work so no problem from the network side.

Once you're done, disable the repository though because everything except for yaourt is out-of-date by at least a month.
Don't ever suggest that. The repo is 100% useless since it is trivial to install yaourt from aur. Also yaourt/package-query in that repo is often broken/outdated.
Also it is not relevant to op's problem anyway. There were some routing issue to leseweb the other day, I also noticed it. Just switching mirror works fine.

Trying to install Support for DTS packages in SQL server 2008

Hi all
I am trying to follow the instructions in the following link...
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143755(v=sql.105).aspx
...to install support for DTS packages - when it says on the Feature Selection page, select Integration Services - none of the installs I have tried show this as an option - what should I be installing in order to see this and get this feature installed?
I just need to be able to view some DTS packages - help!
Thank you! James

Hello James,
as can be read in the article:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 Feature Pack => SQLServer2005_BC.msi (BC
= backward compatibilty).

Trying to install Lightroom on a MacAir and I get an error message that an error occurred while evaluating JavaScript for the package

Error occurred while evaluating JavaScript for the package. Trying to install a Lightroom 5.6 download on an AirMac 10.9.4 OS. Already installed on my Mac laptop. Tried restating laptop but got the same error message

Hi,
Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't.

No serial # on packaging, can't register APSE 10 that I bought at Best Buy today, have tried for Hou

Have tried for hours to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. I bought it at Best Buy today. There is no serial number on the packaging. There is one on the receipt but it includes alpha and numeric and the registration request for a serial number does not accept alpha.
Very frustrating, I needed to us the product ASAP.

You have a redemption code, which is used to retrieve the serial number. See this Adobe document:

Pacman.conf NEED tips for totally offline install with DVD repository

OBJECTIVE: after a base install with ARCHBOOT be able to install from DVD repository which contains repo-add database.
My DVD contains the folder from /var/cache/pacman/pkg.
ON the DVD I have the folder 'pkg' at the dvd root level and another folder which has my already built packages fro AUR.
The database called 'custom.db.tar.gz' created with repo-add exists IN the pkg folder on the DVD.
The built AUR packages are in a seperate folder called '_built' at the dvd's root level as well and they are not included in the repo-add database.
I am able to mount the dvd, cd to the pkg folder and use pacman -Ud to install them though this requires that I type in the full name of the package and I get dependence issues and '*.so' type files not found.
IF I copy all the files from the DVD to the var/cache/pacman/pkg folder I am able to add my local repository to pacman.conf and MUCH more efficient install. I can use pacman -S xorg for example, and I think it finds dependencies even. Can't recall exactly at the moment.
SO: do I need to alter pacman.conf cache location line and the other lines?
Would I change the 2nd and 3rd lines to get max pacman ability when using DVD repository???
Pointing them to my DVD folder after mounting the dvd
#RootDir = /
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
I really would like to have as much power and flexibility when using the DVD as the repo.
Can anyone tell me what I should alter in pacman.conf for this.
I am fine if I have to alter the cache location line temporarily if it will give me additional pacman ability.
I have read all the wiki stuff for sure though I'm still a bit in the dark and wanted to ask without typing the many many options.
One big one for me is I don't yet know how to set the SERVER = in pacman.com to look at the mounted DVD and the pkg folder specifically.
I do mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
So what would I put as the SERVER for this in pacman.conf
SERVER = /dev/sr0 ????? or /dev/cdrom ???? or /mnt/cdrom I think ????
dunno!
AND I really probably DO have to temporarily alter the pacman.conf cache location line to get pacman to do dependency installs and let me type short lines instead of the full package name.
THANKS! this one is BIG for me!!!!! :---)

COMMENT WRITTEN LAST: I was about to delete a lot of stuff here though thought to just say sorry for not taking the brain-time to slim it. The bold and white boxed part is the main related quest-ion.
you might find a few useful tools on my site (in my sig), e.g. pkgd if you want to save bandwidth on a LAN --- pbget if you want to easily get PKGBUILDs etc from the AUR and official repos, etc.
WOW Xyne !!!! thanks. pbget etc. sound very cool.
I used yaourt until very recently. Then went ....hmmmm... should learn about manual building and local repo. Where I'm at now is trying to do as much manually as possible. I think I kinda know what packages I want and there will only be some changes from that in the future. There's maybe 20 packages from AUR for me. [PLUS their dependencies]
Of course: I am doing the repo-add local repositories thing for speed, learning, and as part of my whole 'best practices' growth. Plus it will come in very handy when helping other decide quickly if a barbones mainly wm/ncurses lightweight system is for them.
You certainly spark a question or two!
[AUR and dependencies via yaourt affecting my plans to now go manually]
As these have all ALREADY been installed via yaourt my BIG concern is that I've never found much of a yaourt/cache folder. You see, as you'd know many many times upon installing vai yaourt there's some dependency that may, or I guess, may not be in the standard repos.
After installing these packages via yaourt do the dependencies go into /var/cache/pacman.pkg and is pacman aware of it when I do a repo-add for thecustom database. If so, then all if fairly cool for my plans. I bet there's a few idiosyncrasies about AUR and dependencies maybe.
-AUR dependency resolution-
Using a custom repo will not really work for general use because you would need to manually populate the database with the dependencies anyway.
I'm fine with manually doing dependencies - though need to know if my yaourt usage ALREADY put the latest dependencies in the pacman cache for AUR unsupported packages AND is there a way with the whole repo-add, local repositry, pacman and aur concpt I'm planning to fine tune to have the dependencies update when I go back to the online repositries? I don't think so based on my usage with yaourt, though can't quite recall.
As I will be enjoying makepkg building the group of packages I nee to get from AUR for the forseeable future (that are not in the main 3 repos of course)
I'm still wondering about the inter-relationships. So: I already have installed and/or built the packages for everything I expect to need mostly. I never became beyone mediocre with yaourt. and that fine, though I now have to consider that in a new install I DO have the latest AUR built packages, though will there be the right dependencies ALREADY in my /var/cache/pacman/pkg ?
There's a few things that I'd love to really understand about this. Even if it ends up that dependencies for the AUR packages is always a bit trickier.
QUESTION: right now I am uable to try custom repo from flash stick as it's read only. I'll be googling this one out and am really looking forward to having a flash stick with ARCHBOOT and I gues ONE repo pkg folder and database on it.
NOTE: I will put the custom repo above the stock ones in pacman.conf. I just commented out the others as I was doing all this offline.
I've dumped the dvd as a repo and have switched to a flash stick. I've extracted the archboot out to a 4 gig flash stick.
dd if=/root/Desktop/archlinux-2009.05-2-archboot.iso of=/dev/sdb Its read-only at the moment and no matter what I've tried it stays that way. Maybe I need to use the HPutil on it. It definitely isn't writeable so I won't ponder or note observations here save to say that 'm stumped as to how to get files copied to it.
And now what may be the way I'd like to work: Keep my folder for building packages from aur which is /root/aur. Then after doing the fun makepkg --asroot or even makepg -i as root to install. Though I'll probably after the build THEN just copy the built packages from my /root/aur to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and install from there as I DO plan to use the online repos.
I will ALSO copy the file to my USB stick or maybe just sync to it and do a the repo-add thing in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and keep the stick as both backup and 'in the ready' reinstaller.
Um, now could spend an hour editing down the above!!!
wondrous thanks!
