Weird Pacman Error! [solved]

Since last night, I've been getting this weird error when I run 'pacman -Syu' as root. What's going on?

@ tony5429
I was running in a semilar problem!
I forced the update from gstreamer0.10-good with
pacman -Syf gstreamer0.10-good
after then I run again
pacman -Syu
and all run normal.
You can also read here in this topic about it

do i have bad ram or a bad hdd ? or is the server down ?
I just got essentially the same error message while running a pacman -S subversion
then I realized that after installing network manager I had forgotten to comment the testing repo in pacman.com so I did then I ran a pacman -Sy subversion and it worked. I am not sure what happened but perhaps it maybe similar to what happened with you. See if it applies.

Weird Pacman behavior [Solved]

The weirdest thing is happening. I reformatted and installed Duke. When I run pacman -Syu, everything goes really slow. Not the download speed, that is fast, but it pauses for about 30 seconds after every event. So it will download an update, then pause 30 seconds, then download the next update. It does this even after installing the newest pacman.
I thought maybe it was a specific problem with Duke, so I reinstalled Voodoo, which worked fine for me before. However, pacman still does the pauses on a fresh install with Voodoo. I have not changed any hardware and found nothing about this on the forums.
Any suggestions or things I can look into?
Thanks.

Weird pacman issue upgrading

Ok so I ran out of disk space a while back and didnt even noticed. Tried to update my system and no luck, fixed the disk space issue and now im getting some weird pacman errors during syncing...
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/akonadi-1.1.1-1/depends: No such file or directory
similar errors happen for libical. ANyone any advice? Corrupt pacman DB? Need some direction to go with this one
update: OK so I did some playing and got past the pacman errors during syncing, but now when i update it wants to update the kdebase-workspace and gets errors like:
kdebase-workspace: /usr/share/wallpapers/default_blue.jpg.desktop exists in filesystem
Is this a package issue?
Last edited by ybotspawn (2009-02-06 01:20:01)

Yes and I fixed my disk space, so is pacman still broken then?
nevermind i played and figured that part out duh. sorry for the dumb questions

[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.

Pacman error loading libalpm.so.6

Hi, my Arch installation worked flawlessy for 6 months, yesterday everything stuck while doing yaourt -Syu, rebooted after an 1 of waiting and retried, asked me te update pacman but it stucked again and now I can't use pacman anymore, every pacman command I try to use I get:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any advice?

Downloading the package from a mirror (using a browser), and manually extracting it should solve the issue. Be sure to check afterwards that the version pacman thinks it is is actually the version you have "installed".
EDIT: Be sure to back up your pacman.conf if you just overwrite everything.

Pacman Error: No such file or directory, please help

This morning I decided to make a package using the ABS and I noticed this error when executing Pacman.
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-2.9.8-1/desc: No such file or directory
Consequently, the custom package (Gaim Beta 4) kept complaining about dependancies, when I knew those packages were installed in the system. I did some searching around and it appeared that my local database may be currupted? At any rate, one of the posters suggested to forcefully reinstall the offending package, which I did. Upon doing so, it appeared that I had found a solution. However, after installing another package, the error appeared again. Repeating the process resolves the error, but only once before it occurs again.
Upon further searching, another poster suggested that I should remove the offending directory, and then reinstall the package. When I attempt to remove the directory, I get a kernel panic and my entire system freezes. Since there is so much output, I've take a photo of the error (X just freezes).
I apologise for the dodgy flash, but you can see the output. If anyone could offer any suggestions/assistance, I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,
Tate
EDIT: If it helps, I'm using the latest 2.6.18 stock Arch Kernel and LVM2 with ReiserFS.

try this:
cd /var/lib/pacman/local
mv pacman-2.9.8-1 pacman-2.9.8-1.old
pacman -Sf pacman
verify /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-2.9.8-1 folder exists
verify that following files are in folder: depends, desc, files, install
verify pacman -Syu works
rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-2.9.8-1.old

Really weird quicktime error - showing stuff beneath it?

I'm getting a really weird quicktime error like something I've never seen before. It's been happening for a few weeks now I guess, but I don't recall quite when it began.
Basically, almost any video I open in it ends up splicing into fragments. The audio works fine, but the video shows part of the video, then part of the windows behind it, then the desktop, then the video, and cycling back again and splicing through.
I'm up to date on everything and I ran disk permissions and I can't figure out what's going on. It's definitely quicktime though - it's affecting my iTunes and my Finder video previews as well, across a whole range of codecs. It doesn't affect VLC or mPlayer.
Any idea what to do?

A&I reinstalls the OS over the existing OS (to the version on your install DVD that came with the MacBook) but leaves user files and installed applications intact. You should still do a clone on an external drive first though. Or at least backup all your data files.
After A&I you then use the downloadable combo updater for OSX and the latest QT for QT, and then after reboot repair permissions. You can then run Software Update for the other updates like iLife etc.
If your install DVD was for 10.4.X and you are not on 10.5 then don't use the original DVD use the 10.5 retail disk instead.

[SOLVED] Pacman errors/weirdness

Hi, I recently installed Arch Linux on my PC. I have had experience with the Arch Linux distribution before so I roughly knew what I was doing. When I sucessfully installed Arch Linux I logged on and setup my wireless connection. After that I updated my system with:
pacman -Syu
It told me that there was an update for Pacman, but I wanted to update my system first of all so I skipped it. It installed during the package update process anyway. When it installed the new pacman version it created a new "mirrorlist" file as "mirrorlist.pacorig", so I deleted the old one and renamed the new one. But it seems to be having some bother, it is going really slow (probably nothing to do with the "mirrorlist" file) and it is detecting that I have a newer version of some packages than in the repositories. Why is this?
I apoligise if this is just a small error on my end but it was really fast before this update and functioning really well.
EDIT: I will reinstall my system just incase I have done something wrong somewhere.

There's nothing wrong. You need to comment out, or move ftp.archlinux.org to the bottom of the list. It's heavily throttled so people don't use it as their primary server. Unfortunately, there really isn't a good way to have a default server list. So, find mirrors close to where you live, move them up to the top of the list, move archlinux way down or off of the list, and everything will be fine.

[SOLVED] Weird pacman issue with wine

Good Morning Community,
I'm on X86_64. I've just brought a system out of the ground from a differnt distro. Arch is up and running well.
Then when I went to install wine .....pacman is giving me a strange error. Here is a cut n paste from the terminal
//-----------------Begin cut n pasted text
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -S wine
error: 'wine': could not find or read package
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$
//----------------- End cut n pasted text
I am using one mirror in the pacman.d/mirrorlist:
//----------------Begin cut n pasted text
Server = http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
//---------------- End cut n pasted text
And in using pacman to list packages, here is what I get
//----------------Begin cut n pasted text
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -Sl|grep wine

community winestuff 0.2.0-1
community winetricks 20101222-1
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$
//---------------- End cut n pasted text
Google returns nothing. And I've not found it in the forums, at least the ones I've been able to read in the last three hours.
Does anyone have any idea what's happening?
Ideas on what I can do to find out what's happening?
Help will be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave...........

[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.

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.

Solved my problem with the following method:
1) used Arch LiveCD. Mounted boot and / partitions
2) pacman -r /path/to/root -Syyu glibc filesystem
3) reboot gave "Unable to find root device error"
4) ran LiveCD again following these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … onger_boot

[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.
