[SOLVED] pacman error: cannot open package file

Hi
I didn't use my Arch box for a while and today launched it.
I had to install the "p7zip" package, but I'm a "build everything from sources" guy and I tried to install it from source as always. Unsuccessfully: it required nasm.
Decided to install it using pacman, to get it done quickly.
So, I've got the nasm package and uploaded it to my Arch machine (it has no inernet connection, I use NFS to share files).
Executed
pacman -U ./nasm-2.09.10-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
and for my surprise I've got:
loading package data...
error: './nasm-2.09.10-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz': cannot open package file
Then I tried to run pacman -U for one of "core" packages from the original media (2010.05) and the same result. Some time ago it was working fine.
It gets this error for every file.
The tar.gz file is not broken, I can browse it within Midnigh Commander and get any file .
What could be wrong? Any ideas?

@Techman084:
Of course I have ran it in the directory where the package is located. And yes, I also tried to use it with an absolute path like.

2. Why to synchronize? And how? pacman -Syu ?
I have the original 2010.05 distro installed without any updates. Only console. A few packages installed: ethtool, mc, slang, etc. So, I don't need to have it synchronized to the last versions of everythig (if I correctly understood the goal of the sync)
3. I have already that p7zip package on my PC I had to do it manually ... but to be clear, it doesn't work with any package, not only with "p7zip" or "nasm"

[Solved] cannot open package file

Hi All,
I tried to install deluge with yaourt but I got this message "cannot open package file". I then built it from AUR and got this:
[root@cwa a]# pacman -U deluge-svn-5088-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data...
error: 'deluge-svn-5088-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz': cannot open package file
Does anyone have a clue for me. I have built other programs with no problem using yaourt.
Thanks,
Arthur

What is the version number in AUR? I guess yaourt is not capable for svn-versions and makepkg's "automagically change version numbers of svn-packages"-feature. It tries to open another file. Please try to build without using yaourt.

Error:Cannot open the file c:\windows\sapmmc.msc

Hi Folks,
I have been using SAP IDES ECC 6.2 for a while and now all of a sudden encountered a problem CANNOT OPEN THE FILE C:\WINDOWS\SAPMMC.MSC.
I am a technical consultant and i know nothing about basis and sap installations.
Is this error so fatal? How can i fix the problem..
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Ranjith
Hi,
Looks like your mmc dll is corrupted, with your install and uninstall of software.
Two Options:
1. Upgrade the Kernel with latest Patch level, which comes with new SAPMMC.dll file
OR
2. Just download the SAPMMC*.sar file from service market place and extract in exe directory, since it is windows re-booting the server doesn't hurt.

Hi Emily,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
1.You create your Deski report.
2.Save as the report (with or without 'Save for all users'- makes little difference at his stage).
3.Export the document to the repository.
4.Save as the report once again with the option 'Save for all users'(overwrite the copy that already exists on the local machine).
5.Log into Info view and delete the report.
6.Log back into Desktop Intelligence and try to open the report.

When I try to download firefox I get this error "cannot open output file". I had firefox once but uninstalled it now I cant' reinstall. Why?

I had firefox but uninstalled it because of problems with add on Recipefox. Now when I try to reinstall it I get and error message "cannot open output file". I really liked firefox, How do I get it back?

When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

Getting error "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

How to fix this problem
"Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

When I have seen this message it is either when I try to open a document with an older version of Indesign E.g. an indesign 2014 document with Indesign CC.
The other time I have seen it is to open an Indesign CC document with Indesign 2014 which does not have Mindsuite - a plugin I use. Mindsuite, as yet, has not upgrade the plugin for Indesign 2014 therefore it recognises that a the document was created withe a plugin that the 2014 version does not have installed.
I believe your problem will be something like that.

Satellite U300 PSU3DA: error: cannot open attribute file executing C-Maps

I have a U300 PSU3DA which I changed from Vista to XP.
This is because my main use of the computer will be for navigation (boat) and I was told most navigation programs will run better with XP. I have hardly nothing on my laptop so far, and already the system seems to be slow and freezing too often.
My question now is about the program C-Maps which I've just installed and which won't open. It keeps saying "Eorror: cannot open attribute file".
What does that mean? I have desinstall and reinstall the program, and it keeps coming up with this message.
I had a look around the device manager and the only thing that seems wrong is the PCI memory controller.
I did a bit of a search on this and it seems that this driver is not necessary for XP? Is that so?
Could it be a cause of the C-Maps program not working?
Thanks in advance.

> I did a bit of a search on this and it seems that this driver is not necessary for XP? Is that so?
Where did you read this info?
I dont know if the driver is necessary but you get all drivers on the Toshiba website.
For your problem with C-Maps, I think the best is you contact the C-Maps support. Here it is a forum for Toshiba laptops.

Error: Cannot open project file

Does that error message mean I am trying to open a project file that was created with a version of FCP that is later than what I operate with?
Also, where did the FCP FAQ section go?
PowerMac G4 desky 867MHz 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.2.x) FCP 3.0.4

Are you trying to open a project created by a later version? (using FCP 4.5 to open a project created in FCP 5 for example)
If so, it can't ge done. The best you can do is export an XML of the cut (only the cut) that the previous version can then import.
#27 Getting a FCP 5 project to open in FCP 4.5
Shane's Stock Answer #27: How do I export my FCP 5 project so that someone can work with it in FCP 4.5?
Final Cut Pro 5 projects are not backwards compatible. What that means is that a project created in FCP 5 cannot be opened by previous versions. The previous version cannot recognize the formatting and code of the newer version. You can go from FCP 4.5 5o 5, but it will reformat your project file, so if you want to have a 4.5 version best to duplicate it and convert the duplicate.
You can, however, export the sequence from FCP 5 so that it will open in FCP 4.5 if you follow these steps:
1) Select all in the Browser
2) Choose File>Export>XML
3) Make sure you choose XML version 1 in the following dialog box
4) Launch FCP4.5 and create a new project
5) With that project's Browser open and active, import the XML

Error cannot open source file

i cant run the programme as my c++ is having the error where all the source files cannot be opened. How can i fixed it?

Hi cindy93,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
To understand what happens on your side, Could you show us the complete error message? Does the source file create by yourself or some header files? Please more information.
Have you tried to include the Absolute path to your source file? Something like that.
#include "D:\..\..\source file name"

Jar file error (Cannot open Jar file)

I am already tired JavaFX cos right from the time i have been writing programs with FX. I have not been able to deploy any of my application. After building, When i click the jar file icon in the dist folder it tells the file cant load. Pls how can i package with FX

Also something I noticed is that if you change the code of your jar file and rebuild it. If I do not go in and delete the old jar file from distributions folder the old jar will stay in the folder, this may just be me but it is something to look at.

Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect

I'm trying to iterate through a folder of images, open each one of them, duplicate them into another photoshop file and close the individual image. This code works great on a PC (Photoshop CS3), but when I run it on our macs (Photoshop CS3) I will receive the following error on random images. "Error: Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect" Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I've read about possibly setting the OpenDocumentType but have not seen an example anywhere. This error will sometimes occur after loading in one image or sometimes after 20 images. Sometimes I run it on the same directory multiple times all with various points of error. Sometimes every images is loaded. Any help would be much appreciated. Sample code is below.
i //CODE BELOW
i //allows the user to select an folder full of images
b var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder that contains the files you want added as layers.");
b var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
b for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++)
b {
b var tempName = fileList[i];
b var tempStringName = fileList[i].toString();
i //used to check if the file in the directory does in fact contain the .png extension
b var reducedFileName = tempStringName.substring(tempStringName.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
b if(reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".png" || reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".PNG")
b {
i //setting reference to opened docuement PNG file
i //This seems to be the section throwing the error. Surrounding with Try Catch revealse the Error noted above
b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
i //setting a tempName variable to the PNG file name
b var tempName = app.activeDocument.name;
i //setting reference to the active layer in the file
b var graphicLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
i //setting the PNG layer name to the PNG file
b tempRef.layers[0].name = tempName;
i //duplicating the image onto the opened Photoshop file
b tempRef.layers[0].duplicate(backRef);
i //closing the original PNG file without saving
b tempRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
b }
b }

It looks as if the folder contains non Photoshop files, one way around the problem would be to change
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
To specify the file types you want to process IE:
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|crw|cr2|nef|dcr|dc2|raw)$/i);
