[SOLVED]Pacman needs gcc-libs, that are already up to date
...but this is the output
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.7.0-3
Pacman needs to update itself first, but needs gcc-libs...
...however...
pacman -Ss gcc-libs
core/gcc-libs 4.7.0-5 (base) [installed: 4.7.0-3]
Runtime libraries shipped by GCC
Granted, I could do this:
pacman's --force
but, how harmfull is that to my system?
Thanks for a reply!
Thor
EDIT - searching the boards now...but I found some stale breadcrumbs...
EDIT2 - upated pacman on its own...that seemd to work...
pacman -S pacman
the system is updating now...Solved
EDIT3 - definetly solved, upgrading pacman on its own did the trick. The system is back after a reboot...thanks to everyone here
Last edited by Thor@Flanders (2012-04-21 19:08:27)Hi everyone!
@ Loafer
Well, I did not refuse pacman to update...not updating one package could potentially bring down the depenging chain...so I let it update...
@ Sara - I updated pacman on its own as detailed in the first post, then I did a sysup. the packages are in, and the update is running as we speak...
I guess this could work for you too...good luck!

[SOLVED] Pacman error when installing Arch from installation cd
Hey I''ve been checking the wiki, forum and even google and I've found some responses but they don't seem to apply to my problem and I just need a little help.
I'm at the 4th step "Select Packages" and when I select it I get "Pacman preparation failed! Check /dev/tty7 for errors"
the error on tty7 is "pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libalpm.so.4: cannot read file data: Input/output error"
I apologize if this is an easy fix but its been almost a year since I've used arch and I'm a bit spoiled with ubuntu.
****The cd was outdated. Burning a new copy fixed it*****
Last edited by Rabbit (2012-01-03 01:40:33)I'm afraid it might be too old. I'm going to try to burn a new copy tomorrow when I can borrow a friends computer. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something real simple before I gave up.

removing that folder fixed it. i dont know if it was a coding mistake or just my box did something stupid today :S

I don't know if this error occured during an update of right after you've invoked pacman, but in any way synchronizing pacman I think should fix the issue. This is something you might have tried before deleting the file, but then again I don't know when the error occured. If it occured immediately deleting the file would probably be the easiest solution. I would've done the same.
If you've synchronized pacman after you've removed the file all should be well now, maybe something indeed went wrong during an update (maybe your mirror went down or something, you never know).
yes, the error apperared right after syncing the databases. the update went as expected... -

[Solved] pacman errors out after a hardlock
Hi, I experienced a hardlock today due to a bad memory stick during a pacman update. Now pacman tells me this (with --debug):
looking for inter-conflicts...
debug: looking for conflicts
debug: check targets vs targets
debug: check targets vs targets
debug: check targets vs db and db vs targets

debug: returning error 33 from compute_download_size : package filename is not valid

I deinstalled openoffice-base but I still get the same error.
Oh I think I found the culprit, in /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra/openoffice-base-3.1.0-1/ all files are empty.
I'm removing this directory now...
execute pacman -Syu again
still doesn't work
someone on IRC suggests pacman -Syy, this forces a synchronization of the database
I did that and now I do pacman -S openoffice-base.
This works, it's downloading openoffice-base from one of the mirrors now.
I thought I'd share this.Thanks for sharing, I'm sure it'll help out someone in the future.

[Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade

Now I can install but get these errors (for an example of re-installing pacman):

[SOLVED] Pacman errors
Hello,
I've been trying to install fluxbox on my freshly installed arch linux (with updates) and I've been following a guide on how to do so. The problem is that I can't really install anything but 'pacman -S xorg', like for example if I try 'pacman -S hwd' I get this error:
http://rs51gc.rapidshare.com/files/1985 … G_1785.JPG
and this happens to pretty much every package that I've tried.
I've googled a lot and I've found some suggestions but none have worked =/
Please help.
Thanks.

[Solved] Pacman errors: "call to execv failed", system not booting
Recent upgrade (yesterday) - problems went like this:
1) pacman -Syu attempted "filesystem" upgrade and threw errors about some directories in /usr/local being 775 not 755.
2) that was because I had a non-standard package in there. I changed just those relevant directories to 755.
3) reattempted pacman -Syu but got a bunch of errors: "call to execv failed"
4) system was immediately borked. Reboot now throws me into a shell.
This is a 32 bit system.
Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see any problems to use testing at last priority, so I update to testing only programs which I want testing (and your dependences).
I think which the problem is on testing/mkinitcpio dependences.
Because, if it depends klibc>=1.5.14-2 then mkiitcpio also depends klibc-extras>=2.5-2, klibc-udev>=135-2, klibc-module-init-tools>=3.5-1 and klibc-udev>=135-2. On current PKGBUILD (http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/m … iew=markup) the stable versions of klibc-* are dependences.
I know when this packages gone to core this problem is disappears because of the update all packages klibc together. But I think which if the version dependences were implemented, this error wouldn't appears.
Thank you guys for support.
YES, changing the dependencies of mkinitcpio could workaround your problem. BUT
1) The current dependencies are fine and are NOT wrong. They just don't support perfectly the partial usage of testing, but as I said previously : PARTIAL USAGE OF TESTING IS NOT SUPPORTED
2) This is not a show stopper. If you knew what you were doing, you could solve the issue yourself without changing any dependencies.
3) Plazmic made a fine suggestion : if your goal is only getting the latest nvidia driver, it would be much better to simply use nvidia-beta on AUR, rather than trying to use testing partially without knowing what you are doing and bothering everyone here. -
[SOLVED] Pacman error: failed retrieving file : No address record
I just installed Arch on a x86 laptop using the cd as the package source. I wanted to do a net install, but when I attempted to (regardless of the mirror) I got many responses from pacman in tty7 of "No address record". This happened despite having a network connection and being able to ping any site from the cli.
After installing, I am still having the same problem. The laptop is plugged in via ethernet, and I can ping any site I want, but a call to pacman -Syyu just returns numerous errors such as
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.rit.edu : No address record
And just as a test, I was getting replies when pinging mirror.rit.edu.
Last edited by process91 (2011-11-18 18:21:17)Try the following steps:
1 - Set the VirtualBox Networking option to NAT
2 - Start the arch machine in the VirtualBox
3 - Edit /etc/rc.conf as a dynamic IP:
HOSTNAME="arch"
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
4 - Run dhcpcd
5 - Try to ping a couple of sites, or your router
If you still can't ping or anything, I suggest you start a new thread specifically about your problem. Include the output from "ipconfig -a". You're not going to get much help from posting in a thread marked "[SOLVED]".
