[Solved] rebuild a currently installed package

hey everyone! a while ago, i accidentally pacman -Scc rather than just -Sc because i was being dumb and not paying attention, and now it turns out that i actually need one of those packages i deleted. is it possible to re-make a currently installed package from the the files scattered around my system?

@OP - Not what you asked, but be aware that you can look for the package and build an older version yourself. Example for [extra]/vim:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vim/
*Click 'view changes'
*Let's say I want to build package version 7.3.515-1 for some reason
*Click 'upgpkg: vim 7.3.515-1'
*Click the link next to 'Download' to grab the tarball
*Extract it and go into '/path/to/archive/trunk'
*There you will find all the needed files to build said package

[SOLVED] Pacman unable to install packages due to invalid or corrup...

Hullo,
I know this is a common error judging by the results google lists for that subject. But all sollutions I found don't work for my specific case.
My battery died on my laptop and when I rebooted and tried to install a package pacman complained the database was locked (can't remember if I was installing something or else while my battery died, happend while I was away).
So since I've just rebooted I deleted the lock-file by hand. Now when ever I tried to install something it would complain:
error: xyz: signature from "xyz @ zyx" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/packagexyz.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
So I removed /etc/pacman.d/gnupg, cleared the package-cache and ran pacman-key --init:
gpg: /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Generating pacman keyring master key...
gpg: key B99666F8 marked as ultimately trusted

followed by pacman-key --populate archlinux:

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: no need for a trustdb check
and pacman-key --refresh-keys:

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.
It looks like it's not doing much. Anyway, trying to install packages or upgrading the system results in me having to import a bunch of keys and then failing with the before mentioned error.
Anything I can do?
Thanks

[SOLVED] script to backup installed packages

Hi guys,
I know it should be easy, but I keep failing...
I can generate the list of installed packages with:
comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) <(pacman -Qmq|sort) > pkglist.txt
and I woudl like to integrate into my backup script.
I was testing it with a script with only two lines:
#! /bin/bash
comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) <(pacman -Qmq|sort) > pkglist.txt
but I get:
mkpklist: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
mkpklist: line 3: `comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) <(pacman -Qmq|sort) > pkglist.txt '"
I tried different options with brackets in different places, but me being useless with these things I have no idea of what I am doing...
could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot

@mcarni, you know that when you use "sh <script>" you are specifying sh as the shell the script will be run with. In otherwords, you are overriding the shebang (#!/bin/bash) with /bin/sh. On our systems, we actually don't have an actual /bin/sh, as it is a symlink to bash. But when it is called via that symlink, it actually does its best to act like the old bourne shell.

[SOLVED] Files corrupted when installing packages

I've been using arch for about six months now, I like it very much but I've run into a problem. I suspect it could be that coming from Ubuntu, I'm not used to Arch's "rolling release" approach and I've let things get out of date, but I'd like to have that confirmed before I update my whole system.
I am having trouble installing the apache web server, specifically the download seems to go OK but then pacman says the files are corrupt :

I got a similar result a couple of days ago when trying to install 'gdb'. I tried making http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch the first server in my mirrorlist file, but no change. I'm wondering if maybe my version of arch is just outdated and I need to upgrade with 'pacman -Syu' ? Currently uname -a shows "Linux bigsalad 3.18.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 30 07:31:50 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux". As far as I can see, it's either that I'm out of date, or for some random reason the two packages I've happened to try in the last few days have issues. If it's the latter, I'd rather not over react with "pacman -Syu".
Anyone have any thoughts? This is my first post here so apologies in advance if it isn't quite right.
Thanks,
Niles.

OK, now I'm super confused.
I tried both "pacman-key --refresh-keys", and after that failed, "pacman -Syu". Neither worked. The full output from refreshing the keys is below :
root> pacman-key --refresh-keys
gpg: refreshing 77 keys from hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/root/.gnupg/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No dirmngr
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.
Not being very experienced with keys, I didn't pursue that further.
And pacman -Syu failed - it seemed to download everything, but then convince itself that the keys were invalid (see below). I'm not at all experienced with keys, so that may be the problem. Please help!!! My arch systems have been running fine, but I don't seem to be able to upgrade, which seems to be a requisite for installing new packages? I'm lost!!

[SOLVED] how to query which packages installed on /opt

Does anyone know if there's a quick way to find a list of installed packages that touch /opt? My local machine was mounting /opt by autofs, and I didn't realize that a lot of packages actually install to /opt (such as kde). So after installing kde, I realized that I can't really run it unless I free up /opt. But after that, I still need to find out which package(s) need to be installed again. Any help is appreciated.
Last edited by oringo (2008-05-12 16:19:40)

This will list all currently installed packages that are in /opt
pacman -Ql | grep " /opt" | cut -f1 -d' ' | uniq
Is that what you wanted?

Need to redownload all installed packages [SOLVED]

I found the redownloading all installed packages wiki page, but when I attempt either of the suggested commands on the page, pacman chokes on the first package that I installed out of the AUR. Can someone recommend how I can simply download all of my currently installed packages to my local db?
Thanks!

# wget $(pacman -Sdp `pacman -Q | awk '{ print $1 }'`)

I actually think it does... when I use your shell command after all my packages are populated, I get a line that reads, "checking package integrity..." then a fresh shell.
VERIFIED: it does indeed. I removed /var/cache/pacman/pkg/zvbi-0.2.33-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz then touched an empty file of the same name. After re-running your command, pacman detected the problem, removed the offending package and re-downloaded when I ran it a second time. Smart

Sharing my script to show version difference of installed packages

Hi all.
Sometimes I don't want to just pacman -Syu. There are many packages that are big but introduce only minor bugfixes (usually libreoffice packages* are the culprits), so I don't want to have to install those.
This is something I cooked up a while ago to show version difference of currently installed packages with the latest packages in repository.
It's in python3, and uses python-termcolor.
It outputs something like this:
acl : 2.2.52-1 --> 2.2.52-2
archlinux-keyring : 20130926-1 --> 20131027-1
bison : 3.0-1 --> 3.0.1-1
cracklib : 2.9.0-1 --> 2.9.0-2
Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from subprocess import check_output
from termcolor import colored
pacman_out=check_output(["pacman","-Sl"], universal_newlines=True).split("\n")
outlist = []
len_pkgname = 0
len_majver = 0
len_newver = 0
len_oldver = 0
for pkgs in pacman_out:
if not "[installed" in pkgs:
continue
if "[installed]" in pkgs:
continue
pkg_split = pkgs.split(" ")
newver = pkg_split[2]
oldver = pkg_split[4].rstrip("]")
for i in range(min(len(newver),len(oldver))):
if newver[i] != oldver[i]:
break
pkgname = pkg_split[1]
majver = newver[:i]
oldver = oldver[i:]
newver = newver[i:]
outlist.append((pkgname, majver, newver, oldver))
len_pkgname = max(len_pkgname, len(pkgname))
len_majver = max(len_majver, len(majver))
len_newver = max(len_newver, len(newver))
len_oldver = max(len_oldver, len(oldver))
for (pkgname, majver, newver, oldver) in outlist:
print("{}: {}{} --> {}{}".format(
pkgname.ljust(len_pkgname),
colored(majver.rjust(len_majver),"cyan"),
colored(oldver.ljust(len_oldver),"cyan",attrs=["bold"]),
colored(majver.rjust(len_majver),"magenta"),
colored(newver.ljust(len_newver),"magenta",attrs=["bold"])))
I hope pkgbrowser will include something like this in the future.
P/S: * these packages will break anyway in the event the dependencies has had some ABI changes.
EDIT: swapped new and old version columns. Thanks, karol!

Clyde can't install packages [SOLVED]

Whenever I try to install a package from clyde (in this case chromium-stable-libpdf), I am returned the following:
:: chromium-stable-libpdf package not found, searching for group...
:: chromium-stable-libpdf group not found, searching AUR...
error: 'chromium-stable-libpdf': not found in sync db
A quick forum search returns quite a few threads with people experiencing the same issue, but these all were solved by simply running pacman -Syy (which I have tried). Pacman seems to work just fine and clyde gives same error when I try with other packages in AUR. I don't install things from AUR very often (last time was probably ~ 2 weeks ago) so I am not certain what package upgrade (if any) would have caused this/when this error started occurring. I know that mirrorlist was updated a little earlier today. Please find my pacman and clyde conf files below (with relevant parts included) and my mirrorlist (I have tried changing to different mirrors). Thank you in advance.

[SOLVED by xyne] Search for packages I have but are NOT installed?

Hi all,
I run a couple of computers on Arch (both 64-bit), was just wondering if I could copy the /var/cache/pacman/pkg from one computer to the other, and then run some command to install from the cache all packages that are not currently installed. Basically it would be something like "go through all the packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg, if any are installed ignore them, if a newer version is installed ignore them, but if no version of this package is installed then install it.

Save it as "list_pkgs", make it executable and then run it with
./list_pkgs /var/cache/pacman/pkg
It should spit back a list which contains all packages in the cache which are currently uninstalled, minus any packages which are dependencies of others. To install those packages, combine it with pacman:
pacman -S $(./list_pkgs /var/cache/pacman/pkg)
This doesn't completely solve the issue of explicit versus implicit installation, but I expect that this would be more manageable than installing everything explicitly. I've commented on lines which can be uncommented to get a simple list which ignores dependency relationships.
Btw, the script isn't really as long as it might look. The compare_versions function, which I copied over from another module, nearly doubles the size of the script.

The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks. You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution. There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

[SOLVED] cannot install package query

I want to install yaourt, but I can't seem to install package query. I acquired the tarball from here and followed all the steps here
[maarten@maarten ~]$ cd ~/src
[maarten@maarten src]$ tar -zxvf package-query.tar.gz
package-query/
package-query/PKGBUILD
[maarten@maarten src]$ cd ~/src/package-query
[maarten@maarten package-query]$ makepkg -s

I already reran pacman-key --init and pacman-key --populate archlinux after removing the allready acquired signatures (/etc/pacman.d/gnupg). But it keeps returning the same error.
Do I need to add another key manually to install packages manually from the AUR?

I edited your post to change the \[quote\] tags to \[code\] tags - it makes for a much easier to read post

Two options are to change your SigLevel or sign your own key...

Can you check if:
sudo mkdir /etc/hal/fdi
sudo touch /etc/hal/fdi/policy
solves the problem?

jlcordeiro, same problem and making /etc/hal/fdi directory solve it, thanks

tl;dr: lxc-console should be used for logging in, not lxc-attach. Also, I had to do some additional work to get the tty to work in systemd, and I plan to update the wiki soon.
I created a container using the following command:
# lxc-create -n test -t archlinux
Once created and configured, I started the container daemonized, and attached:
# lxc-start -n test -d
# lxc-attach --clear-env -n test -- su - root
However, I am unable to install any software packages because GPG isn't working properly

The container config is as follows:

lxc.tty=1
lxc.pts=1024

lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c *:* m
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b *:* m
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:5 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:7 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:8 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:9 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:9 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 4:1 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:0 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:1 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:2 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 136:* rwm
Has anyone else experienced this? I've searched the web for solutions to the GPG error, and most of them relate to GPG not working in a chroot because the right things don't exist in /dev. However, I was under the impression that lxc.autodev=1 would take care of this, and indeed /dev/pts, etc. all exist in the container.

Try
# pacman-key --refresh-keys
from within the container. Though, I do notice a segmentation fault, so I am not sure if it'll work.
I just did this, and the command succeeded:
gpg: refreshing 75 keys from hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: requesting key 5263801D from hkp server pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: requesting key FFF979E7 from hkp server pool.sks-keyservers.net

gpg: requesting key 4C7EA887 from hkp server pool.sks-keyservers.net
... snip ...
gpg: Total number processed: 74
gpg: unchanged: 74
However, the installation still failed.
I was able to get pacman to install openssh by turning off signature verification. I then ssh'ed into the container, turned signature verification back on, and was able to install other packages just fine.
So the issue seems to be with how lxc-attach connects to the container. A temporary solution would be:
Add openssh to the list of packages installed when running lxc-create.
# lxc-create -n test -t archlinux -- -P vim,openssh
Attach to the container and run systemctl enable sshd.service, and set a root password
Detach, then ssh into container and go about your business.
However, I'd rather have the option of not using sshd on the container, and still be able to install packages, so I don't necessarily consider this problem solved yet.
Can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong when I attach to the container?

Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

I realize pacbuilder is for that, but it doesn't seem to work properly for me. Skipping a lot of packages etc.
Anyway, I've made this very simple script to just rebuild every installed package from core/extra/community. Sorry for the localized echo output, but I think it's all very simple and straightforward to understand.
Edit:
I've improved it a bit, now it should work flawlessly and remember what stuff it has to finish no matter when you ^C out of it. Also it installs all compiled packages, if you want to avoid that, remove -i switch from makepkg.
