[solved] pacman broken after "pacman -Syyu" excluding pacman

Hi forums,
I use arch x86_64, yaourt and the testing and multilib repositories.
A full system upgrade doing "yaourt -Syyu" didn't work, because pacman had an unfulfilled dependancy which I don't recall, but it was about a normal and a multilib version: I probably have the multilib version of a library installed, which has not been updated to the version required by pacman yet.
So I thought it would be perfectly fine to exclude pacman from this system upgrade by choosing "manually" from the options given by "yaourt -Syyu" and commented pacman.
The upgrade then went fine except for the two final lines:
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
testdb: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Now everytime I try to use pacman, I get this error:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Do you know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance

Actually, I was more concerned about updates for packages from AUR. yaourt would handle AUR packages as if they were in a repository, and update them, solving dependency problems.
Now what I fear is, that if some regular library gets an update, it may not updated on my system in the first place, because pacman only sees that the older version is needed for the AUR software, but is not capable of updating the AUR package (which works with the new library version) automatically. So updates will break some software unless I remove it first and install the latest version manually.

[Solved]Terminology - Broken after upgrade

After running a system update it appears that Terminology is no longer working correctly.
i.e:
Background does not render properly, just shows black screen, Cannot use rightclick to make modifications, etc
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
=====================================
Fix:
Downgrade to package 0.6.1-1 from cache
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/terminology-0.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I solved the problem. There was an issue with my pacman.conf. Multilib wasn't properly enabled after the pacman4 transition.

I'm using multilib.
@Allan
more fully than pacman -Syu? Or is my mirror not up to date?

Pacman Broken After MLDonkey install [Solved]

So,
I installed MlDonkey. I than tried to download another package. I had an error where it could not grab files off of extra any more. So here are the steps that I took to get pacman working correctly again.
# cd /etc/pacman.d
# cp mirrorlist mirrorlist.backup
# nano mirrorlist.backup
# sed '/^#\S/ s|#||' -i mirrorlist.backup
# rankmirrors -n 6 mirrorlist.backup > mirrorlist
It took a LONG time when I actually ranked the mirrors around 10 minutes. Also do not forget the the sudo command if you are in your user, and on the last command even when I used sudo it kept telling me permission denied, I ended up just su into root and than it worked. I am not sure as to why. I hope this helps people.

(solved) repositories configured after removal/installation of Pacman

Hi!
I just had a wierd problem with Pacman : when I typed
pacman -Syu
it said that it was unable to get core.db.tar.gz and so on for other repos.
Then, I found a post that said the person had uninstalled pacman using
pacman -R pacman
Well, I tried to do by downloading the tarred package, then extracted it then :
./configure --prefix=/usr/bin --exec-prefix=/usr/bin && make && make install && make clean
Now, when I type pacman -Syu, it returns :
error: no usable package repositories configured.

[Solved] Bumblebee broken after installing systemd

Hi Arch Users!
I recently wanted to give systemd a try and made the switch using the Arch's Wiki as a guide. Everything was fine except when I tried running VLC through Bumblebee.
First error from optirun was that it could not connect to Bumblebee demaon. To which I did this:
yaourt -R bumblebee
yaourt -S bumblebee-systemd
systemctl enable bumblebee.service
After reboot the error was it could not load the GPU's drivers (I may be wording this wrong as I cant recall the exact phrasing). Since I recently updated the kernel, I thought it will be a good I idea to re-install Nvidia's drivers. So I did this
yaourt -S nvidia-utils-bumblebee
yaourt -S nvidia-bumblebee
Now I get a new error and do not know how to proceed from here on. The error is:
$ optirun -vvv vlc
[ 73.424451] [DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
[ 73.570852] [DEBUG]optirun version 3.0.1 starting...

[ 73.687530] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
[ 73.687543] [DEBUG]Killing all remaining processes.
It may be purely coincidental that when I switched to sytemd that I see these errors and may well be the updated kernel. My observation is bumblebee was working yesterday and after I made a few system changes today (some that is irrelevant to this problem) bumblebee broke. The changes were
1. Changed to systemd
2. Changed to grub2
3. Updated kernel.
Any help are on this will very much be appreciated.

HI

As always, I tried to do -Sf eclipse jre jdk to see, if it's not just a corrupt package installation, but it didn't help. Package versions are eclipse 3.4.2-1, jre 6u13-1, jdk 6u13-1. Maybe someone encontered this problem too? Just to check meanwhile I google for the solution...
Regards,
David

[SOLVED] KVM Broken After Switch from KVM to Qemu-KVM

Since I made the switch from KVM 88-1 to Qemu-KVM 0.11.0-1 yesterday, my virtual Win XP64 guest OS will not load; I just get a black screen. When I try safe mode, I can see that it is getting stuck on "acpitabl.dat."
Here's the line I've always used to start it up,
qemu-kvm -boot c -m 512 -hda win_xp.img -net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1 -localtime -k en-us -soundhw ac97 -vga std
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Last edited by tony5429 (2009-11-27 05:03:43)

I see that my user was not on 'kvm' group after the switch.
When I added my user to de kvm group Qemu-KVM works like a charm.

Edit: fixed by libx11 update!

problem remain in arch_64 ekiga3.2.6-1
The program 'ekiga' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 36 error_code 8 request_code 138 minor_code 3)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[SOLVED]Eclipse broken after upgrade to 4.4.1-1

My latest upgrade of Eclipse to 4.4.1-1 broke it.
When eclipse starts, it tries to lods its component, then fails with a pop-up message error referring to the log for further details.
Inspection of the blog shows that it cannot find a number of required packages. for instance, the first few lines show:

I have reinstalled jdk7 (Oracle's version) and applied (as root) the fix suggested on Archlinux's home page and in several other posts:
archlinux-java fix
To no avail. Nothing changes.
Help appreciated.

Is it the same as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184260 ?
Edit: Both jdk8-openjdk and jdk7-openjdk dependencies work for me on my 32-bit Arch with [testing] repos enabled.
Eclipse starts, the splash screen goes away and I get 'Welcome to Eclipse' screen with links to the workbench, tutorials etc.
Edit 2: jdk7 works too.

[SOLVED] Pacman broken by partial upgrade. How to fix and update?

Pacman partially upgraded a system during pacman -Syu and, as a result, pacman itself is broken.
So I'm facing two issues, the one which caused the upgrade to fail and the fact that pacman no longer works.
I answered yes to all of the below:
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace kactivities with extra/kactivities4? [Y/n] y
:: Replace lzo2 with core/lzo? [Y/n] y
:: Replace phonon-gstreamer with extra/phonon-qt4-gstreamer? [Y/n] y
:: Replace phonon-gstreamer with extra/phonon-qt5-gstreamer? [Y/n] y
:: Replace polkit-qt with extra/polkit-qt4? [Y/n] y
:: Replace shared-color-profiles with extra/colord? [Y/n] y
:: Replace twisted with extra/python2-twisted? [Y/n] y
All seemed well until all the downloads and verifications were finished.

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
The upgrade failed because of "extract: not overwriting dir with file /var/run".
The last line is not entirely true because I don't think the removals were rolled back.
Since pacman depends on lzo2 I now get the error below whenever I try to launch it.
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: liblzo2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I need to figure out a way to fix pacman and correct the issue that is causing the update to fail without causing even bigger problems.
I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks.

headkase wrote:
Your filesystem package was upgraded, you had 646 packages to upgrade. You haven't run "pacman -Syu" in years. Your system will be near impossible to upgrade. Reinstall, and update regularly.
Am I wrong?
According to pacman.log my last successful upgrade was in April May 2014 (hardly anything upgraded so I missed it in the logs at first).
Strangely enough, pacman -Qe reports the same filesystem version (filesystem 2014.07-1) both before and after the upgrade today.
Unless I'm mistaken that would mean it wasn't upgraded (or it was upgraded and not rolled back when the transaction failed which wouldn't be my first guess).
So it would appear you are wrong on both counts, headkase.
After I forced installation of the replacement lzo the upgrade went ahead without a hitch.
So no, the system wasn't impossible to upgrade either. Wrong there too.
I'm not sure exactly what went wrong though. It might have all been due to lzo2 not being automatically replaced successfully. Yet I'm not sure why it would have attempted to upgrade filesystem when it failed then report the same version after the full system upgrade completed successfully.

Pacman broken pipe

I have installed new ArchLinux 0.7 system. When I wrote "pacman -Syu" it has synchronized and offered to upgrade pacman. After pacman upgrade I wrote once again "pacman -Syu" and pacman offered me to update about 20 packages. It started downloading the first one and when it have completed it wrote: Broken pipe. Pacman turned off. And now every time I try to update or install a new package, when I run pacman and it download something I get broken pipe after each downloaded file and pacman turns off. How can I correct this problem? Using wget didn't helped. It stucks when "Logging into ftp as anonymous". Any ideas?

I'm guessing he's already tried that, since I suspect the reason he's tried wget is because it's mentioned in the only other thread relevant to this, and pacman.static is mentioned there too...
I may be wrong tho

Error messages after every use of pacman

I'm getting error messages after every use of pacman. Don't know if it's compromising the usage, but it's quite annoying. The messages are the following:
/sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38.0 is truncated
/sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38 is truncated
/sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so is truncated
/sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38.0 is truncated
/sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38 is truncated
/sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so is truncated
Any guesses?

Because the file you get errors about is owned by that package, I'd try a normal reinstallation first though, the f flag isn't the safest one...

Pacman hangs after install or remove

For a few weeks I am experiencing a strange problem with pacman.
After a package is installed or removed it just hangs instead of closing.
In the task manager I can see ldconfig running and uninterruptible.
Maybe this has something to do with it?
I tried reinstallingen several packages like pacman en libc but had no luck.
Can someone help me with this?

[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.

Something went horribly wrong when I pacman -S base-devel... no commands work, at all.
bash: /usr/bin/pacman: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/uname: No such file or directory
bash: /usr/bin/w: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory
... lol uhm. : ( crap.
I can echo and exit however.
Recoverable?
