Same thing here...

:: The following packages will be downloaded:
   [testing]
     vim

:: Number of Packages:                       1
:: Total Download Size:               5.40 MiB
:: Binary Package Install Size:      29.16 MiB

:: Proceed with download? [Y/n] y
--> Reflecting... retrieved 45 mirrors.

Exception caught
Exception: [MetalinkHelper.cc:75] No file entry found. Probably, the metalink file is not configured properly or broken.

I think the best thing to do is check aria2c settings; or revert back...

Re: [SOLVED] After upgrade aria2c bauerbill doesn't work.

It looks like this new aria2 version does not allow absolute paths in the "name" absolute of "file" tags. And AFAICT, there is no flag to change this behavior.

Powerpill is working fine because it is using relative paths in the metalink file and sends the --dir=/var/cache/pacman/pkg option to aria2c. Bauerbill should be updated to do the same.

EDIT: A new upstream perl-xyne-arch version has been released, but does not fix this bug. I'll work on a patch.

EDIT2: A quick and very dirty solution : create a /usr/bin/aria2c-wrapper script containing this :

#!/bin/sh

sed 's@"/@"@g' | /usr/bin/aria2c $*

Then, chmod +x /usr/bin/aria2c-wrapper and change your /etc/{powerpill,bauerbill}.conf to have /usr/bin/aria2c-wrapper as your Aria2Bin.

This should be fixed now. Please use the bauerbill thread to report issues (or send me a message directly). I would have fixed this yesterday if I had known about it.

@delroth
Thanks for pinpointing the problem. It led me straight to a solution.

Odd. I grabbed bauerbill 2010.02.17.1-2 from AUR and installed it but I still get the same aria2 error message posted above.

Re: [SOLVED] After upgrade aria2c bauerbill doesn't work.

Bauerbill uses Perl modules contained in the perl-xyne-arch package as its backend. You must upgrade the perl-xyne-arch package, not the bauerbill package.
