arch i686 chroot...pacman now only wants to use i686 pkgs

lordasshat · 2010-06-29 05:39:29

any body know where i went wrong...or have an idea on what to edit to make pacman and chroot pacman the way they should be...as it stands now if i use pacman inside the chroot it trys to install x86_64 pkg and the other way around out-side the chroot...big flub on my part and im not shure how i messed it up...

man pacman.conf and look at the Architecture section. Or use "linux32" when entering your chroot.

this might help and no above dose nothing to fix this already tried it...not worried about the faild repos either...this is running out side chroot environment....also like if i run pacman32(aliesed) it trys to install 64 bit packages... thanks for the try thow

We will need more info...

What is pacman32 aliased too? What do have set in your Architecture option in your pacman.conf (in and out of your chroot)? What does "uname -m" say (in and out of your chroot)? What is your primary server in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (both in and out of your chroot)?

alias pacman32="pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf"

outsided chroot
uname -m
x86_64

pacman.conf
Architecture = x86_64

etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

every usa server avalable is uncommented lol

inside chroot

chroot directory has dissappeard...this is going eithe make things easyer or harder

Can you post the first entry in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist?
