[SOLVED] Pacman Issue community.db

I've been trying to use sudo pacman -Syu to upgrade but everytime I try I get this following message:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/community.db: (Empty error message)

warning: xfsprogs: local (3.1.5-1) is newer than core (3.1.4-1)
there is nothing to do
However when I do this as root I don't get the error, is this common, a google search didn't achieve anything that I could make sense of.
I had a go at reinstalling pacman but it's still there.
Thanks,
Ben.

[SOLVED] Pacman issue after -Syu

Hello guys,
This morning I did a full update with "pacman -Syu", before that, I also did an installation for gnome and gnome-extra as well as openoffice. There were some connection loss during the update and perhaps some packages failed to be retrieved, however, I repeated "pacman -Syu" and install the packages again and again until it showed that everything was installed.
But after that, every time I execute the pacman command, I always get the message "error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/community/chrootuid-1.3-3/desc: No such file or directory", it still shows that "local db is up to date" though, however, it seems like virtualbox isn't installable as "pacman -S virtualbox-ose" returns a "not found" error.
Please give me your solution about this
Thank you

Pacman -Syy did the trick, but I also need to change to another mirror as well, I suppose there was something wrong with the previous mirror.
Thank you all for your help

EDIT: I realized I misunderstood one of the posts on the forum I saw previously. I fixed the issue by setting SigLevel = Optional TrustAll. I thought it meant only in one place, not each package I'm using. Sorry for the inconvienence.

Next time, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags
like this

so the code is more readable and longer listing are nicely scrollable.

The issue stands whichever I use ethernet or the wireless connection...
I'm stuck with it. Hence, any help is welcomed and thanked !
EDIT: The solution was easy… My university filters every ftp requests, i simply have to us http mirrors.

This is what happens when I try that.

The Yahoo password in the mail settings of all my Apple devices has reverted to an old version and, no matter what I try, following advice from the community, it always returns to the old password. How can I solve this issue?

The Yahoo password in the mail setting on all my apple devices - iPad, iPhone 5, mini iPad - has permanently reverted to an old version. I have tried all the suggestions provided by the community so far but nothing works. When I delete the account and re-enter the details, the updated password is recognised and seems to save but, when I go back into the account, the old password is the one that is there.
I am desperate! How can I solve this issue please?

After some googling I came to the conclusion that pacman was corrupt.
I have NO idea how this happened.
Is there a way to fix this without a re-install?
Help is very much appreciated.

I have read the thread here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=95007 but I'm not sure if that would apply in this situation.
EDIT2:
Tried this:
$ $ sudo pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 35.9K 287.2K/s 00:00:00 [################################] 100%
error: could not remove database core
error: failed to update core (could not remove database entry)

archlinuxfr 23.0K 237.6K/s 00:00:00 [################################] 100%
doesn't look normal.
Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ill try that in a minute.
I guessed that Input/output error meant filesystem corruption so I rebooted using :
sudo shutdown -rF now
and the resulting fsck on bootup had a few errors.
Manually fixed them and now waiting for fsck to finish.
Could take a while.
I'll update when it boots.
update:
Booted,
sudo pacman -Syy
*no errors*
sudo pacman -Syu
*no errors*
Guess its fixed then.
I see how your fix would work, but I'm not sure I would have been able to rename the folders if they contain corrupted files.
Thanks anyway,

'''(in English)'''

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

(SOLVED) Pacman error: GPGME does not exist

Hi, I have also just been struck with the same issue - a broken pacman (and for no reason that I can fathom). Was working perfectly yesterday and all I did that wan't usual was to uninstall clamav.

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/extra could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/community could not be read
:: Synchronizing package databases . . .
error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

How to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

how to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

Alex,
the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
p_where_clause := ' ';
if p_dep_2_param is not null then
if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
end if;
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
else
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
end if;
return (l_return);
end beforereporttrigger;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
I've written a similar example at http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/bip/tipps/Dynamische_Queries/index.html ... but it's in german.

[solved] Pacman error on nvidia 180.22 update

When I try update to nvidia 180.22-1 on testing appears the following error:
:: klibc-extras: needs klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI
:: klibc-kbd: needs klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI
:: klibc-module-init-tools: needs klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI
:: klibc-udev: needs klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI
I don't know why this appears. Is a pacman bug?

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 problem

I am getting the following error when i try to install/upgrade anything with pacman.
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db'
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db'

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/archlinuxfr.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/archlinuxfr.db'
this occurred after i removed: package-query, pacman-color, perl-xyne-arch, powerpill and yaourt.
i removed those because when i tried to upgrade pacman itself i was getting the following error
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: package-query: requires pacman<3.5
:: pacman-color: requires pacman=3.4.3
:: perl-xyne-arch: requires pacman<3.5
I am guessing package-query is something i should not have removed?
anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks.

yup always keep an eye on what the upgrade manager tells you. As mrunion noted, you have to run pacman-db-upgrade because pacman 3.5 uses a different db format than pacman 3.4.x

Just reinstall systemd:
pacman -S systemd
select yes if it prompts due to it already being installed.
You might also want to run `pacman -Qk` to see if any other packages have been damaged.
EDIT: I just did some silly trial and error and deleted that file from my system (probably would have been smarter to move/rename it). Reinstalling systemd failed due to a conflicting file error as all the files for the package are there, but the pacman database doesn't realize they belong to that package. In this case I used --force with the single specific package:
pacman -S --force systemd
Note that this use of --force is an apparent necessity to fix this specific problem. This does not support using it when uncertain why something fails - I knew why it was failing.

[SOLVED] pacman error: could not open file /var/lib ...

the actual error is
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/community/fonteditfs-1.2-2/desc: No such file or directory
removing that folder fixed it. i dont know if it was a coding mistake or just my box did something stupid today :S
any thoughts?

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...
