[SOLVED] Overwrite files with pacman.

Hello all
I know that pacman, as a design feature, does not overwrite files by default. I've read the post and the wiki about it.
But I've a situation where I would need to overwrite dozens of files, in different directories, and it would be very nice, If possible, to make an exception to this rule.
I dont know how, but I've messed up an Kdemod upgrade. It stopped working and I cant uninstall it, because pacman doesnt find the appropriate groups (Kdemod-complete and Kdemod-uninstall).
On the other hand, I cant simply reinstall it, or kde[extra], because pacman gives dozens "leftover file" messages in different directories, and refuses to overwrite them.
I just want a way to reinstall KDEmod, at least to try to remove everything with "pacman -Rd kdemod-uninstall" and start from scratch, if it doesnt work. And, I would like to escape manually removing all the files in different directories or a full system reinstall.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Moderator comment: That is true as far as the synatax of Pacman command is concerned -- BUT -- using 'force', unless you know exactly what you're doing, is not recommended. It can cause serious breakage.
In fact, the -f flag was deliberately deprecated in favor of --force specifically to make it less likely that someone will try using it.

File Save after clicking in script output overwrites file with output

This is bad:
If you run a file as script and afterwards click on the output window,
even if you click back on the script window,
the Ctrl+S (or even worse the File > Save menu option)
overwrites your file with the script output.
You only realize this when you reopen the file, or if you use another editor with auto-refresh, such as Crimson Editor.

Here is how to replicate the disappearing sql script:
In the Save dialog box, if the “.sql” is left off of the file name, only the script output is saved (this is bad).
If the file name ends in “.sql”, the script and the script output are saved (this is good).
I have no idea what the purpose of this feature is, and it has caused me much grief. I hope the next version of SQL Developer does it better.

Save as "web page, complete" .html file disappears when overwriting file with same name

On Mac and PC using various versions of FireFox (including 29.0.1 on Win 7) the following occurs:
"Save Page As" a page with several iFrames in the content. I use "Web page, complete" and name the file.
Close FireFox. The .html file and accompanying folder are saved correctly. Then I open the file in FireFox and make some changes to fields in a form. Then "Save Page As" again and use the same name. It prompts to overwrite the existing file and I click Yes.
Three out of four times the file is no longer there. The folder remains but the .html file is gone. Not in the trash or hidden, just gone.
I know this sounds crazy but I have tested it on about 20 computers (both mac and various windows versions), all with different FF versions and different antivirus. The above scenario happens: always on 1 computer, occasionally (random) on 3, and hasn't been observed yet on the others.
Has anyone encountered this before? Are there any antivirus or malware products that could cause this? Any settings in FF that could? Any thing about this page or frames that could cause it?

I found the solution. Yes, the first time you replace a file it disappears altogether. Just save it again, and it will reappear with the updated date and time code in the directory you chose to save it in. I only wish this were the problem in Firefox v. 30, but that is worse now.

Problems with people overwriting files with check in/check out

This has to be the most frustrating problem I've ever
experience in my life.
I work in a team of 4 (we're all located in different states
throughout the US). We have a major website that we all work on and
we are all frequently updating pages on the site. We all use
Dreamweaver and we all have the "check in/check out" feature
enabled to ensure that we know who is working on what and don't
overwrite each others changes.
This however doesn't seem to be working. We have all noticed
the past 6 months or so that every so often we will find files that
have been reverted back to an older version of the file. For
instance... We will change meta tags and keywords on certain pages
and 2 weeks later we will access the same page only to find that
the meta tags and keywords we had updated have been rolled back to
a much older version of the file that had no meta tags at all.
That's just one example but this seems to be happening every
so often and we're all getting frustrated as heck with it.
Basically I'm curious to know if anyone else is having the same
problem and what the possible solution to this might be? There has
to be a culprit I just don't know what it is.
Also, will it matter if we work in remote view or local view?
I wouldn't think it would matter as long as we have check in/check
out enabled.

in the check in/check out options, do you (and everyone else)
have
"check out when opening" enabled? the problem may be that
someone is
opening files on their local machine without checking them
out first.
you would definitely need to work on the file from the server
(remote
view) because, say someone else edits a file, and then you
need to edit
that same file. if you edit your local version without first
downloading/checking out the file from the server, you will
overwrite
whatever changes the other person made when you upload it. of
course, if
you try to upload it without first checking it out, it should
tell you
that someone else already has it checked out and ask if
you're sure you
want to put it.
it's possible that there's some technical glitch or something
going on,
but i suspect that you have at least one person who isn't
following the
rules of check in/check out properly.

[Solved] hosts file with ipv6 disabled

Hello community!
So I have disabled ipv6, as it was causing various issues and Comcast has not yet implemented ipv6 in my area. Disabling was no problem, but nowhere can i find information regarding whether or not to keep the ipv6 line in the hosts file. Should I comment it out?
For clarity I am referring to the ::1 line. Will commenting it out be problematic, or will keeping it be problematic, or does it not really matter? I know having an improperly configured hosts file can cause all sorts of network issues, so I am very curious.
Right now I have it commented out, and I have not noticed any real problems, but I also have a Realtek wireless card using rtl8192ce, which is not the most stable driver/connection. Thus my connection is kind of intermittently crappy. So I am curious if I am making my connection crappier than it was before.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Of course as soon as I posted this, I found an answer. The Debian wiki recommends commenting it out when completely disabling ipv6. So to those who at least read my post, thanks!

@WonderWoofy,
Do you have a link for the Debian wiki? I'd like to understand the reasoning.
To be honest, I didn't even realise that line was for ipv6. Since I've disabled it in sysctl.conf, I should probably consider commenting it out, too. Right now, I seem to be loading firewall modules for ipv6, mind, which seems like slightly more security than can be strictly necessary if the thing is disabled...
@ghen,
It isn't, that I know of, a matter of "figuring it out correctly". Having ipv6 enabled can screw up ipv4 connections. Having it enabled prevents me from connecting to the internet at all on one of the networks I use. As I understand it, a properly configured network shouldn't do this but when the official IT support people say the problem is that you have ipv6 enabled, you don't have much choice. (And it isn't as if there's anything to be gained by having it enabled.)

[SOLVED] setopt noclobber ! doesn't overwrite file when used in cron

Basically I have noclobber set to true in .zshrc... this prevents accidently overwriting files with the pipe command...
When I run the command in a console without the >! command and noclobber set to true it properly detects the file exists and fails to overwrite it.
curl http://static.die.net/earth/mercator/1600.jpg > /home/geota/geota/.worldmap
zsh: file exists: /home/geota/geota/.worldmap
Now when I exchange the pipe command to >! it properly overwrites the file when executed manually in the console... however if I have this command set in my crontab it instead of properly overwriting the file it just pipes it to a file named ! in my home directory...
# Reload Background Image
*/30 * * * * curl http://static.die.net/earth/mercator/1600.jpg >! /home/geota/geota/.worldmap && xfdesktop
I have tried a few different slight alterations to no avail such as
$(curl http://static.die.net/earth/mercator/1600.jpg >! /home/geota/geota/.worldmap)
`curl http://static.die.net/earth/mercator/1600.jpg >! /home/geota/geota/.worldmap`
Is there anyway I can get cron to excute the command and overwrite the file without setting noclobber to false?

crontab provided by arch is dcron which is very basic:
man crontab wrote:Unlike other crond/crontabs, this crontab does not try to do everything
under the sun. Frankly, a shell script is much more able to manipulate
the environment then cron and I see no particular reason to use the
user's shell (from his password entry) to run cron commands when this
requires special casing of non-user crontabs, such as those for UUCP.
When a crontab command is run, this crontab runs it with /bin/sh and
sets up only three environment variables: USER, HOME, and SHELL.

Can't Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name - Likely a Mail Error?

Couldn't find this on the forum... Hope I can explain this properly.
When I design something and send a proof I will send a PDF through mail. When the revises come in I used to be able to just overwrite the existing files on my desktop and re-send through mail. But now programs won't let me overwrite files with the same name anymore. Basically the program says "overwrite existing file?" but then say "file is in use. Can't overwrite."
Back in Leopard this used to happen when I would have a mail draft open that used the data of the file I sent or was about to send. I would just have to save the mail message as a draft and the file was "no longer in use" so I could proceed as usual. But now it does this all the time regardless.
Did this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain... But basically now when I want to send a revised file (and this can happen dozen of times in a day) I have to trash the existing file I want to overwrite. Or rename the file, which is confusing for me and my clients.
Any thoughts?

I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
Please send a fix for this Apple.

I have this errors......my kernel version is the 2.6.21-ARCH, maybe is this the reason? How can I upgrade the kernel?

check which package owns the files with 'pacman -Qo $pathtofile'
If it is now owned by a package you can safely force the package to install with 'pacman -Sf kernel26'
If the files are owned by a package then there they are conflicting and the path to follow will be different for each situation.
If you are not sure what to do post here which package (if any) owns the files.

Dr. Brown 1-2-3 PS CS5 (to overwrite files)

I have been a lot of issues on CS5 using Save for Web as a part of recorded action to create 3 jpg sizes. Results are images at 300 ppi instead 72 ppi. (No problems on CS4 running the same steps in the action) One day it works & the other don't. A lot people on this forum suggest me Dr. Brown 1-2-3 process. WOW! it is really good but it doesn't overwrite files with the same name on the destination folders. For example if I have a photo named ABC1. jpg & run the 1-2-3 script again it creates another file ABC1_1. jpg. Is there any way to change that behaviour?

Is the Script »scrambled« or can you open it in ExtendScript Toolkit and get the proper text?
If the latter you could ask for help in the Scripting Forum.

Overwritre files with Buddy Api

Hi!
I am trying to use the Buddy API to move files. I am using
the MoveFileOn Reboot function which works fine normally. However I
really need it to overwrite a file that is in the target folder
with one with the same name. This does not happen, I guess the xtra
won't overwrite files with the same name. Has anyone come across
this and found away round it? Got a bit of a nightmare if not.
Cheers in anticipation,
Simon

Result = baCopyFile( SourceFile , DestFile , Overwrite )
"Always" always copies the file
"IfNewer" copies the file if SourceFile is newer than
DestFile
"IfNotExist" copies only if DestFile does not already exist

[SOLVED] Can't sign key with pacman-key

I've been reading and digging all over the place but I can't seem to find anything on this.
1. I have created my own keys for signing packages that I want to put in a local repo so I don't have to compile the same package over and over on all my machines.
2. I have imported said key using sudo pacman-key --add rdjack21.pgp
3. Used sudo pacman-key --lsign rdjack21 I get this output:
-> Locally signing key rdjack21...
==> ERROR: rdjack21 could not be locally signed.
4. Ok so lets sudo pacman-key --edit rdjack21 output:
gpg> sign

Are you sure that you want to sign this key with your
key "Pacman Keyring Master Key <pacman@localhost>" (645ECB0E)
Really sign? (y/N) y
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry

5. To hack this and make pacman work with my local repo signed by the rdjack21 key I had to change the trust to ultimate but I do not like that solution. I would prefer to sign the key and move the trust back down to full which is where it should be.
This is happening on all of my boxes not just one of them. I did find something on the web about "No pinentry" message above and the sugestion was to change the owner of the tty I'm using to be root for the signing to work but that did not work for me (su'ed to root first instead of running everything with sudo).
While changeing the trust works that just feels wrong to me. I really should beable to sign the key.

Taking a clue post gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN I was able to solve the problem and I can now sign keys.
The solution is add "pinentry-mode loopback" to /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
And create the file /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and put "allow-loopback-pinentry" in the file.
Once that is done everythings works as expected!
Marking this as solved.

[SOLVED] Building Toilet, glibc b0rked sys with pacman --force

Solution:
Installed base-devel, which initially b0rked the system as it was far out of date (ran pacman -S base-devel --force, careful!)
However after refreshing system and installing base-devel without the associated critical failure, Toilet did in fact build.
should be an expert plumber by now.
The end.
OK, I've been on quite an adventure trying to get Toilet to build, and I'm practically at the giving up point which is pretty sad. So hopefully one of you can help me realize what I'm doing so horrible wrong. : )
Here's basically what I've done so far;
I so very much wanted Toilet installed, and here it is in AUR! https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/toilet/
Simple enough, small program. It has a 'special' dependency, this library: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libcaca/
No problem with CACA, pacman grabs and installs it. Pacman doesn't find Toilet, it's only in AUR, so naturally I grab the tar and build script and run makepkg. Well guess what? (note, the package script runs configure as; ./configure --prefix=/usr).
checking for CACA... no
configure: error: you need libcaca version 0.99.beta18 or later
So obviously the first question is "what version of libcaca did I install again?", should be good, we clearly have;
libcaca 0.99.beta18
OK. So I maybe the script can't find the files, or they aren't there? Possibly the install went awry, so I check /usr/lib, /usr/include, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include, all the caca files are there, headers, libs, looks good.
I'm confused.
So I go to the Toilet website and they assure if you run their build process it'll work, which involved executing ./bootstrap then ./configure, but bootstrap requires automake > 1.5.
No problem! I'll grab that from the repo.
pacman -S automake, returns automake 1.12.5.
Crap.
OK, find, I'll grab this from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/automake-1.9/
makepkg, package created successfuly! ... but wait, I don't have a xz file as a result in my working directory, so how exactly do I get pacman to install that?
Even if I got automake 1.9 installed there's no guarantee it'd install Toilet all of a sudden, that's just a last resort anyway.
I tried other ./configure options to try and force the script to see libcaca, no success.
So from this point forward you don't even want to know what I tried, I'll lightly mention that I tried moving the caca header files to the Toilet src/ directory, changed all the source files there to reference the header in the current dir, tried to modify the makefile's and configure scripts to force it to see the file by writing absolute paths where I thought necessary... to say the least that didn't work,mostly because the config/makefiles which are auto generated are a labyrinth of complexity that I couldn't understand after 3+ hours of crawling through.
The configure script is cryptic enough that I can't actually tell how it's determining the version of libcaca, I would have just echo'd out stuff around the condition statements to see what it's doing, so I've decided finally that apparently I'm an idiot, so I'm going to stop getting no where and ask for help. : )
Why would the Toilet ./configure not find libcaca in arch? What else could I do to try and get Toilet installed?
I hope someone here has some ideas.

How can I overwrite a file with the same name in Content DB?

Hi All,
In Content DB if I upload a file with the same name as a previous one, the application shows the warning message:
" ...You cannot upload "XXXXXX.doc" to "Test 1" because an item with the same name already exists ..."
And the alternatives are "Create Version" or "Cancel" the operation. Is there any way to overwrite a previous file as we can do it in Oracle Files ?
Regards
Harvey

Hi All,
Can anybody from the Content DB product development answer this question?

SOLVED: Some files not being picked up with File: protocol

Hello all,
I'm doing some testing of the B2B server on a laptop and seeing some weird behaviour. I have the B2B server set up much like the 850 inbound scenario for the tutorial, except that I am using AS2 over generic exchange with a FILE: transport server. I have "Shoppers" set up as the remote trading partner.
Now for the weirdness. If I put a file in the incoming directory called "ACME_850_4010_1_12345.edi" (it's the one I used for the tutorial, it is picked up fine by the B2B server; it errors out (as expected) because I don't have a trading partner called "ACME" in my setup. However, if I drop a file in the incoming directory called "Shoppers_850_4010_1_12345.edi" with the same exact content as the ACME file - the B2B server never picks up the file to process it. The other weird thing - after putting the Shoppers file in the directory, the B2B server just stops picking up files from that directory altogether until I restart the B2B server.
Any ideas?
DOH - files were not exactly the same. Missing carriage return at the end of the file. Adding it seems to have solved the issue.
Best regards,
John

Hello John,
Trading Partner identification by default is based on the Exchange protocol and in your case of Generic Exchange , it is based on name of the file or the Directory name depending on the following property.
Property:           oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.allTPInOneDirectory
Type:           boolean
Default Value:      false
Description:
If set to true, enables the identification of all files dropped into a particular directory with the trading partner name identified by the directory name: Example: E:\Partners\Acme
The default is to identity each file by prefixing the file with the Trading Partner name Example: Acme_orders.xml
To debug this issue, please enable transport trace and go through the log.
