Pacman -Syu error:pacman config corrupt(re-installed)
Recent install of x86_64 to correct segfault has a new failure mode.
Pacman-db-upgrade successfully installed and pacman -Syy performed.
Installed a dozen packages and rebooted several times.
Last attempt to use pacman was to try to install firefox.
Thus: ...pacman-S firefox...produced error: config file /etc/pacman.conf/, line 8:ALL directives must belong to a section.......
Entered /etc and... nano pacman.conf.... result was unreadable corrupted file.
Entered /etc and : nano rc.conf...result readable file
Conclusion is pacman is corrupted...first a seg fault in previous thread and now a corrupt pacman.conf.
Will post the --debug for pacman -Syu in next post.
Are these problems mirror related? How is this? Never had this before............

Prediction...This year will be a very odd year!
Hard work does not kill people but why risk it: Charlie Mccarthy
A man is not complete until he is married..then..he is finished.
When ALL is lost, what can be found? Even bytes get lonely for a little bit! X-ray confirms Iam spineless!

Re: Pacman -Syu error:pacman config corrupt(re-installed)
Reading /etc/pacman.conf of new install.... with HDD archlinux boot and it appears normal ....reads corrupted in new install /etc/pacman.conf as reported in previous post.
Was able to install many packages before discovering pacman problem after later reboots.
Have yet to provide a browser in that install.
I may have to install the browser initially before reboot!
It suggests a db problem...perhaps need to run ....pacman -S pacman....after sync is completed?
