[SOLVED] pacman won't find libreoffice Hebrew package

Hi,
I'm on a fully updated ARch 64b/KDE.
Ever since Open office has been replaced by Libre Office, I can't install the required Hebrew speller- see terminal output below.
Please advise!
Thanks
----------------------copy of terminal (as root) --------------
pacman -Ss libreoffice-he
extra/libreoffice-he 3.3.2-3
Hebrew language pack for LibreOffice
[root@myhost etc]# pacman -S libreoffice-he 3.3.2-3
error: target not found: 3.3.2-3

[solved] pacman -Syy and -Syu work, but packages won't install

Hello, everyone. I'm really new to Arch, but I did search all over Google and the forums and couldn't find an answer to this, so I thought I'd ask the forums.
I just installed Arch, and I'm trying to install sudo.
When I run pacman -S sudo, I get:
sudo package not found, searching for group...
error: 'sudo': not found in syncdb
However, when I run pacman -Syy, I get:
::Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.kernel.org: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
...(other similar errors from other mirrors)
core 4.1K 43.7K/s 00:00:00 [##########] 100%
...(same for extra and community)
(Sorry I didn't copy the entire output out, I'm not connected to the internet on the Arch computer, so I'm typing this by hand on another one. I tried a bunch of mirrors earlier, and only one mirror actually works: the Arch one, which as a download cap.)
So my package databases are getting updated, but somehow pacman isn't recognizing them or something.
I updated pacman to see if that would work.
pacman -V
Pacman v3.3.3 - libalpm v4.0.3
It didn't.
I'm running 2.6.33-ARCH according to lib/modules.
I haven't changed my etc/pacman.conf. [core] and its Include, [extra] and its Include, and [community] and its Include are all uncommented. No packages are ignored.
My etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist was updated from the Arch Mirror Generator. I uncommented everything in United States.
I have internet set up, and I've tried taking down wlan0 and putting it back up. iwconfig shows that wlan0 works and is connected, and I'm pinging google.com successfully, so I know internet works.
Thanks in advance for any help, and please let me know if I'm missing any information. I tried to be thorough.

To make it short, pacman really can't find steam.
Options I tried:
pacman -S steam
pacman -Sy steam
pacman -Syyu steam
pacman -Ss steam
And still got nothing.
Here's my last attempt at it:
$ sudo pacman -Syyu steam

community 2.3 MiB 74.2K/s 00:31 [######################] 100%
error: target not found: steam
Notes: I'm running arch on a VBox. Sorry if I sound cocky or anything but maybe it's my lack of sleep over this particular problem. Yes, I uncommented the multilib repo in pacman.conf.
Anyone got any ideas?

This worked for me. Found steam in the multilib repo when I properly uncommented the repo.
Though it's weird that steam can't be found in the community repo, only in the multilib repo.
$ pacman -Ss steam

[SOLVED] Pacman won't look up gpg keys

Ever since I upgraded gnupg/gpgme today, pacman won't look up (or rather fail looking up) any missing GPG keys. Relevant part of pacman's output:
debug: checking signature for /var/cache/pacman/pkg/privoxy-3.0.19-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
debug: 1 signatures returned

debug: gpg error: End of file
error: key "C06086337C50773E" could not be looked up remotely
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Failing to import the key directly through pacman, I tried
pacman-key --recv-key C06086337C50773E
which successfully added the key to my keyring.
I could then install the package. I also tried switching to different keyserves, but without success.
Everything pacman{, -key} related worked fine until the update, but I can't say for certain that it was the gnupg/gpgme update that broke something.
Does anyone else have this issue or is there something wrong with my setup? I already thought of opening a bug report, but I want to make sure it's not my fault.
btw: Hi, everyone :)

This wasn't explicitly stated above, but to do the manual import with pacman-key, I had to prefix the fingerprint with 0x, as so:
$ sudo pacman-key -r 0x5C2E46A0F53A76ED
However, the default keyserver is giving me problems currently:
$ sudo pacman-key -r 0x5C2E46A0F53A76ED
Password:
gpg: requesting key F53A76ED from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: End of file
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.
So in the end, I used a different keyserver:
sudo pacman-key -r 0x5C2E46A0F53A76ED --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
Hope that helps anyone else.

[SOLVED] How do I find out what packages are installed in a distro?

Okay. I was running Arch before, but GNOME had a bunch of problems that I couldn't fix myself, so I reformatted and went to Peppermint OS (it's a cloud-based system), and I absolutely love it. Now, the thing is, it's even slower than my Arch system was running GNOME, and it's supposed to be super-lightweight and speedy; but aside from that, I found it's a great distro (I think most of the slowdown is because it's based on Ubuntu and Mint). So, my question: how do I find out which packages are in Peppermint OS so I can emulate the basic environment, except with Arch underneath? Thanks, guys!

Okay, I guess an hour of Googling wasn't enough, but I just found a site that tells me how to do it! I'll mark this solved, but for anyone else who wants to know, the info is right here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/find-out-i … -in-linux/ It uses dpkg, which I think is only used on Debian-based systems (correct me if I'm wrong) so it may not work for all distros, but it's a start.

I had an issue like this during an update several months ago. Reflector was the problem package and the existing files were owned by reflector. I think it's worth mentioning since reflector is also a python package. Anyway, iirc I simply removed and reinstalled reflector.
Unfortunately, it won't be so easy for you since pyastpi is part of a dep-chain leading to gnome-shell... looks like you're going to have to figure out how to do it the right way

[Solved] pacman won't update kernel

Hi, I create a base image that I clone to build from, it has nothing added but 'base-devel', earlier I installed an XFCE install, I went to create another from the same base image, when I install nvidia it told me in both cases that it needed a newer kernel 3.1.4, so I ran
pacman -Syu
. This morning this solves the problem, right now it states that it has nothing to update (it's made from the same image) and nvidia won't install stating it needs that upgrade. I shuffled mirrors around to see if it helped but it didn't. Anyone have an idea of why this is occurring?
thanks in advance for your help.

No, it doesn't do the upgrade, it insists there is nothing to upgrade, while the nvidia install says that there is.

[SOLVED] Pacman won't update and hangs

Hey,
After logging in a while ago I found out that pacman hangs in a very weird way.
Don't mind the czech locale, the output should be pretty clear anyway.
[root@meph-ntb meph]# pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizuje se databáze balíčků...
core 55,0K 4,2M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%

multilib 26,7K 2,8M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
[root@meph-ntb meph]#
Seems alright. But then...
[root@meph-ntb meph]# pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizuje se databáze balíčků...
And hangs here. Every other attempt at -Syy hangs like this, until next reboot. And after the reboot it again seems alright at first, but 2nd and every other attempt hangs.
Pacman -Syu behaves in a similar way. First time after reboot it does sync the database and then hangs when it says retrieving packages. When I try again, it hangs on database sync.
Tried changing mirror (long shot, I know), didn't help. Even tried without X running, didn't work. Also pacman.log is clear.
Any ideas?

I don't know why, but the problem seems to be gone after a few hours. I didn't change mirrorlist, and it hasn't changed since last time the update worked fine either. I'm still curious what caused the problem, but can't think of a way to find out.

I can't see anything suspicious (except that I still need to set up Reflector, but that's another issue, it's a fresh install). Anyway, sorry for the false alarm.

[SOLVED] Pacman trying to install 64-bit packages on 32-bit system

I was upgrading my Arch Linux i686 install, and I got the following error:
error: The mirror 'http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.
I added Architecture = i686 to /etc/pacman.conf under [options], and when I run pacman -Syu, I get these errors:
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package clucene-2.3.3.4-2-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
:: package filezilla-3.5.3-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
:: package lshw-B.02.16-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
:: package yajl-2.0.4-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
Why is pacman trying to install x86_64 packages on my i686 system?

Seems to be looking for 64 bit packages still. Had a similar issue when installing another prog as well

[SOLVED] Pacman no longer updates or installs packages.

When running pacman it stalls just before it downloads anything.

Thats as far as it gets.
It doesnt seem to totally hang since it will respond to ctrl+c after 30 seconds or so
Any ideas?

[SOLVED] pacman hanged when install or remove packages

when I use pacman -S , it only shows "resolving dependencies...". If I use pacman -R , it hangs at "checking dependencies..."

[SOLVED] pacman keeps trying to install 32bit packages on my 64bit OS

Hi,
I have just installed Arch linux first time (ISO as of 01 Nov). My OS should be 64bit (my hw is 64bit) but pacman fails on any package I try to install.
Example
$ pacman -S grub
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package grub-1:2.02.beta2-5-i686 does not have a valid architecture
So it tries to install 32bit package (and fails), but why?
My system:
$ uname -a
Linux archiso 3.17.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 15 15:04:35 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I checked /etc/pacman.conf:
Architecture = auto
and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (the first three entries are shown; all of the mirrors have the same format):
## Score: 0.3, Germany
Server = http://mirror.gnomus.de/$repo/os/$arch
## Score: 0.3, France
Server = http://archlinux.polymorf.fr/$repo/os/$arch
## Score: 0.5, Netherlands
Server = http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
And it is not only grub, it is any package (e.g. gamin, lxde)

[SOLVED] Pacman cleanup - safe to remove these packages?

Hi
I'm cleaning up a bit, and saw some gnome stuff I diden't want.. upon doing pacman -Rns gnome-disk-utility gvfs (gnome-disk-u depends on this) libgnome I get the following:
[michael@swamp ~]$ pacman -Rns gnome-disk-utility gvfs libgnome
checking dependencies...
Remove (17): libgnome-2.32.0-1 libcanberra-0.25-1 libbonobo-2.32.0-1
gnome-vfs-2.24.4-1 gnome-mime-data-2.18.0-4 gvfs-1.6.5-2
libsoup-gnome-2.32.0-1 libproxy-0.4.6-2 libcdio-0.82-1 libcddb-1.3.2-2
gnome-disk-utility-2.32.0-2 libgnome-keyring-2.32.0-1 udisks-1.0.1-5
sg3_utils-1.29-1 parted-2.3-1 libatasmart-0.17-1 libunique-1.1.6-3
Total Removed Size: 45.89 MB
Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n]
Stuff like udisks and libatasmart and parted sounds troublesom to me. Is it safe to hit Y?
I shouldn't have any gnome applications installed.
Thanks

I'm no expert but i wouldn't uninstall libgnome...
What is the specific app you want to uninstall?
If you want to uninstall an application you just have to type:
pacman -Rcs package_name
And let pacman do the rest.
You can specify the dependencies in the command for more specific reasons...
You can also do this:
pacman -Qdt
to see the packages that are installed, but they are no requiered by other installed packages.
That cleans the system a bit.
Good Luck!

[SOLVED]Pacman try to install old version packages which not exists

When I tried to install django, pacman reported 404 error.
And I found that pacman tried to install django-1.4.3-1 while the resposity I used only has django-1.4.4-1
I've deleted all resposities except
Server = http://mirrors.163.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
And then I tried
pacman -Syy
but it seems useless.

Because the 163.com's repository does not have django..
I add
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch
to the first and then
pacman -Syy
At last, I can install django now..
I think this topic can be marked as SOLVED. Should I mark it or the administrator will do this?(In fact I do not know how to mark it.:))
You shouldn't use ftp.archlinux.org, it's throttled. Use another mirror instead.
I just use ftp.archlinux.org occacionally to fix the problem.
Sometimes I don't want to wait the mirror updating itself.

[solved] pacman won't get a fresh copy of updateslist

In the main site it shows all the new updates but when I sync to update the new update lists it just says my list is up to date.
Is there a way to erase the lists to get fresh ones?

Wow! That's a great link thanks!
@tipclapper, of course I have a internet connection
Let me switch my mirrorlist with the one andre.ramaciotti gave
