Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Of course, I could use --force or deinstall poppler, jre & co. with dependencies and reinstall it after other packages were upgraded. I will do so, anyway. But seriously, with upgrades this files do exist in filesystem, of course the do. And this can't be the standard way with virtually every upgrade. Is there a pacman issue I haven't found here? Is there another workaround?

The last time it was also poppler. I haven't installed jre for so long time (2 or 3 weeks?), so it's the first time it has happened with it. Do you mean this with complete packages?

  • Why does gmail not work in HTML anymore as it did someweeks before?

    Until several weeks ago GMAIL worked fine in HTML. Then, after a Firefox version change it worked only in the low res version. This has happened before after a version change but remedied itself after the next version change.
    This time it is still not working in HTML even after several version changes!!
    What can be the reason(s) for that?

  • Why does Firefox not work here in China anymore, since January of 2015?

    I have used Firefox for years, as the fastest and most reliable browser for me, esp in China... not anymore! Last month (unknown to me) a hijacker called Vosteran took over my Firefox browser. I finally realized it and got it cleaned up using Malwarebytes anti-malware, and downloaded a new Firefox... now SAME problem exists, even with Vosteran removed!
    Firefox will not allow me into ANY normal sites, saying they don't have the proper security code. This includes my Yahoo front page, email account, ESPN and other common sites that are certainly NOT dangerous. So, WHY does Firefox not work anymore? It is useless to me here in China the way it works now.

    hello rickinchina, first please make sure that the '''date, time & timezone''' are set correctly on your system and that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet (that's the "'''no proxy'''" setting in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'').
    if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
    * what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
    in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (but don't do it for real) and inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
    * which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
    please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

  • "Exit" Button to destroy Xlet-why does it not work???

    Hey there!
    I am very confused with KeyEvents in MHP and kind of stuck..
    I just want an EXIT Button for my Xlet-that's all!! I tried to different ways:
    The first one is compiling without any errors but it just does not work, either in XletView 3.6 nor in the IRT Implementation..Is there something i missed?
    Here is (a piece of) my first code:
    public void keyPressed (java.awt.event.KeyEvent KeyEvent) {
    int key = KeyEvent.getKeyCode();
    if (KeyEvent.getSource() == butt1 && key == HRcEvent.VK_ENTER)
    try {
    destroyXlet(true);
    catch (XletStateChangeException ex){
    butt1 is the "Exit" Button.
    I also tried this Code using the dvb UserEvent and UserEventRepository which worked pretty well with XletView, but failed when testing it with the IRT..
    public void userEventReceived(org.dvb.event.UserEvent userEvent) {
    int key = userEvent.getCode();
    if (userEvent.getSource() == butt1)
    if ( key == HRcEvent.VK_ENTER){
    try{
    destroyXlet(true);
    catch (XletStateChangeException ex){
    Why does this one not work with the IRT-Implementation?? Nothing happens at all when pressing ENTER on the RC..
    Has somebody an idea or fixed out which kind of mistake i made?
    As i said i am really stuck and i had a look at many examples, but nothing worked at all!!

    Hello Steve!
    Unfortunately your suggestion did not work too..
    I added context.notifyDestroyed() to destroyXlet(), the problem is that my application does not react on pressing VK_ENTER..
    Do you have any other ideas?
    The second code with dvb events just works without adding notifyDestroyed,
    but just with XletView, not with the IRT RI..

  • Why Does 3G Not Work on my IPhone

    Apologies everyone - I am a real numpty with my IPhone.  I have switched just about everything on i think I need to to enable 3G and my service provider says that in my present location the wireless service is excellent.  So why is that on my top toolbar I don't see 3G - just my signal strength, service provider and a round circle then the date.  I cannot get connectivity unless I am at home next to my own router.  Can anyone help as I have had this problem now since I have had my phone and I really do need to get it sorted out.  Any guidance at all is very welcome indeed.

    Hi,
    What type of iPhone do you have. I heard that 3G cannot switched off on an iPhone 4s, so if you have that one, it can only be a service provider issue (worst case: Your antenna does not work).
    Did you try on a different location, like downtown?
    If you have an iPhone 4 or 3Gs you can check if 3G is switched off: Go to settings->General->Network. At the top there is a 3G switch that should be on (blue).
    Let us know if this works.

  • PSE11 Why does Sharpening not work in Quick or Guided Mode?

    I have used PSE 5 happily and greatly liked the auto sharpen feature. I have been forced to upgrade to PSE 11 due to Windows 8 incompatibility with 5.
    I am appalled to find that the sharpen feature, including auto, does not work in Quick or Guided modes. The small previews in Quick mode show the correct sharpening effect but clicking on them or using the slider does not transfer to the main image. I either have to go into full unsharp mask, which I hate for quick fixes, or use the 'adjust sharpness' option under 'filter' in Quick or Guided Mode, which increases sharpness by an unspecified amount on each click.
    Surely there si something wrong here. The feature is there so why doesn't it work?
    Any ideas would be welcome. If it isn't fixable I shall want a refund based on the product not being fit for purpose.
    Thanks
    dlgoodyear

    Thanks for confirming that it should work ok. I've now done the obvious and uninstalled/reinstalled and it's fine now.

    Hi David,
    This is the forum for Pages on a Mac running OS X. I don't know iPad, but often answers in this forum are to check for upgrades to iWork apps after a System upgrade. You may get a better answer in this forum:

  • Why does Thunderbird not work with Windows 8.1

    I have used thunderbird now for about 6 years, for all my website accounts. During that time I have had very few problems, about 9 months ago I started using Windows 8, I transferred all my accounts from my old machines running on XP pro to new machines running Win 8 and thunderbird ran ok. I have auto updates running so I am assuming both thunderbird and windows are updating whenever! About 4 weeks ago I started experiencing major problems with Thunderbird, it would start then freeze, then it would start again then freeze, if I ran it in safe mode it would work for a while. Now it opens and freezes, the message at the top just says ' Thunderbird is not responding'. Even in safe mode now it will not work! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, I have even tried installing an earlier version of Thunderbird, I Have deleted the profile and forced it to produce a new one, I have spent hours trawling different sites trying to find an answer, and you know what, the only conclusion I could come to was, nobody seems to care whether this problem is solved or not, so reluctantly I have had to give up and I moved all my accounts to Outlook, which works perfectly with Windows 8.1. I think that should have been the answer, right from the start of the problem!

    The point is, it shouldn't matter if you're using McAffee or Norton or not using any anti-virus at all. Thunderbird works on XP. Thunderbird works on Vista. Thunderbird works on 7. But despite what the FAQ says, Thunderbird does _NOT_ work on Windows 8. This is a problem that many people are having and Mozilla _OUGHT_ to be able to fix it.
    I hate to bitch because Thunderbird is free and it's a damned good program. But this damned good program that worked through three earlier iterations of MicroSoft operating systems is unusable on 8.1. Anybody who has any knowledge of user experience can tell you that a program becoming unresponsive at random for anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes is simply not acceptable.
    This problem has been known for quite some time now. Is anybody in Mozilla support even looking at it?

  • Why does hotmail not work when I open it with firefox?

    When I open firefox in safe mode hotmail is functional but when I open firefox normally hotmail does not work. I can't seem to find out what add ons I have.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
