Support for perl-xyne-arch was dropped[1] and because of that you have to make a decision between perl-xyne-arch and the newer pacman version … I suppose.

You'll need to remove powerpill before you can upgrade pacman.

Do not upgrade pacman?

Dastingo · 2011-03-30 16:32:41

If you need to download the package without installing use "pacman -Sw", then take the package from the cache directory.

karol · 2011-03-30 16:32:42

You can still update your system "manually":
- while at work, download new package databases from the servers you use,
- go home and run 'pacman -Sup' to get the urls of the packages that need to be updated,
- put those urls into a file and bring the file to work, run 'wget -i file' to download them all,
- bring the downloaded packages home and update your system.

Yes, you need to remove powerpill and everything related to it. Then upgrade pacman.

Try the usual 'pacman -Rns powerpill'.

 pacman -Su

I see these error

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db'
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db'
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/community.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/community.db'

 there is nothing to do

I go to this directory

var/lib/pacman/sync/

and I can not find db files

karol · 2011-04-30 22:17:18

Maybe it's related to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23343 ?
What exactly do you have in /var/lib/pacman/sync/ ?

I do not have nothing there and it empty

karol · 2011-04-30 22:30:02

Download the sync dbs from some mirror, e.g. http://archlinux.limun.org/core/os/i686/core.db
