[solved] when to update pacman.conf
I apologise in advance. I'm worried that I've either read the answer to this or asked the question before but, if so, I cannot for the life of me find it.
What is the best way to check the progress on package signing? and, even, database signing? (I assume the latter is not yet implemented.)
Currently, I'm using PackageRequired for multilib and core but not community or extra (and not for AUR).
Is there a sticky, blog or wiki page I can monitor so that I know when to require signing for the remaining packages? And when signatures for the databases themselves are implemented?
Or will this be announced via a pacman -Syu announcement?

Thanks. I didn't know about expac... expac + grep "(null)" also works nicely though I admit awk is neater. (I just always find awk kind of alien and have never really got to grips with it.)
I've updated pacman.conf to "PackageRequired" for extra. Just a few things in Community to go, I guess. I didn't realise the signing was this far along!

[SOLVED] Unable to update pacman - Catalyst database issue
Hi there,
I have the AMD catalyst drivers installed for Dell 1555 laptop. As they changed their server URL, I updated my pacman.conf as directed in Arch wiki and then added the GPG key with the following commands.
# pacman-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xabed422d653c3094
# pacman-key --lsign-key 0xabed422d653c3094
However, I still get the following error:
error GPGME error: No data
error GPGME error: No data
:: Synchronizing package database...
xorg112 is up to date
catalyst-hd234k is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
error: database 'xorg112' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'catalyst-hd234k' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
Please help.

[SOLVED] pacman.conf simple line error or... ?
So here's what happened:
I was trying to enable the [multilib] repository. (As according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib).
Thus, I went ahead and uncommented the following from /etc/pacman.conf:
[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
To edit /etc/pacman.conf, I used LibreOffice Writer. I saved the file as a .txt document and made sure that it is properly renamed as pacman.conf.
Next, I went to update pacman's package list by running pacman with the -Sy switch.
And then, voila:
# pacman -Sy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
However, when looking at pacman.conf I don't see any errors in line 1. Nor do I see any problems with directives.
Here are the contents of pacman.conf:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XWh9eagr
Is there a simple problem with a line in pacman.conf --- or is it because I used LibreOffice Writer instead of Vi? Or?
Is the answer to this right in front of my nose?
Thank ya'll..

LibreOffice Writer is a word processor - it will do odd things to your .conf files. Use a text editor. If you don't want to use vi, then use nano, or gedit or anything other than a word processor.

I tried running pacman -Syyu, but that did not seem to solve the problem. There is /var/lib/pacman/local/openssl-0.9.8l-1/
directory but it is empty. When running pacman -S openssl, I get the above error message as well but it spans for hundreds of buffer lines. In the end I end up with this:

Sounds to me like openssl is installed on your system but the info on it is now missing from the local pacman database (/var/lib/pacman/local). In other words, pacman forgot that you installed it. So in your second clip of code, pacman is complaining that files belonging to openssl exist in your filesystem, since you do have it installed but it no longer knows that.
Don't know if this is the proper way to fix it, but I imagine forcing a reinstall of openssl (pacman -Sf openssl) should get pacman to reinstall openssl so that it knows it is installed.
Bregol,
pacman -Sf openssl
seemed to have fixed it. Did not know of the force reinstall option. The necessary directories in /var/lib/pacman/local/openssl have been created.

How can I fix this? I already tried installen cloog with pacman but that doesn't help.

I solved the problem. There was an issue with my pacman.conf. Multilib wasn't properly enabled after the pacman4 transition.

more fully than pacman -Syu? Or is my mirror not up to date?

[Solved]Add kernel26 to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. Not ignored.
Using kdemod4.3(32bit). I re-installed kernel26-2.6.30.5-1-i686(earliest in pacman pkg cache) and added kernel26 and kernel-headers to /etc/pacman.conf IgnorePkg but # "pacman -Syu" still asks to upgrade kernel to 2.30.6-1-i686. What do I add to that IgnorePkg to avoid kernel upgrade? Tried kernel, kernel26 and kernel26*. Adding nvidia,nvidia-utils and xorg-server to Ignorepkg give me that thee aren't upgraded(desirred result). Thanx.

[solved] Perl script for pacman updates in Conky
Hi
I've been using this script in Perl Conky to check on updates. It works well.
It's not mine - I got it here;
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57291
#!/usr/bin/perl
## script by Xyne
## http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57291
use strict;
use warnings;
my $n = (`pacman -Qu | wc -l`);
chomp ($n);
if ($n == 0)
print "System up to date"
elsif($n == 1)
print "1 new package"
else
print "$n new packages (inc. IgnorePkg) "
I have some packages listed in IgnorePkg in pacman.conf - is there a way to exclude them from the packages counted in $n?
I thought something like this would help but I don't see how to take only part of a line from IgnorePkg
http://www.perlfect.com/articles/perlfile.shtml
Thanks for any help
EDIT I added a --ignore clause to the pacman query. Seems to have worked. Sorry to waste your time.

I recommend following the method below if you are not able to restore your iPhone and see an "error 36:"

Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Cannot enable wget in pacman.conf(solved)
Pacman does not recognize wget in /etc/pacman.conf....
[root@n6re ~]# pacman -Scc
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'xferCommand' noted.
[root@n6re ~]#
Attempting to eliminate pacman's filling of my /root partition during full system download I attempted to use wget to aid in downloading. The result is noted above.
My root partition is filled...used
pacman -Scc
once but the problem repeated. Some users use wget to solve the problem so I tried that .
Attempted to use:
pacman -Q |less
The same error concerning wget occured again and no display of installed packages ensued.
So for the present cannot state which pacman version I have installed.
Will restore /etc/pacman.conf to original condition and report further on this problem.
