Strange Pacman Warning - Should I be concerned? [solved]

toru · 2011-11-05 15:50:39

While updating today I got a warning that said "warning: warning given when extracting .INSTALL (Write failed)" several times. It claimed to upgrade everything though, and the log confirms this. Just wondering if anyone else had this warning and what it might entail. Hoping it's nothing to be concerned about.

It means you're out of disk space in /tmp. You should probably fix that.

So it is...Thanks. I'll be getting rid of tmpfs from my fstab now.

Or you can make your /tmp bigger.

Or you can avoid building things in /tmp, as poorly designed software such as packer and yaourt do by default.

I'm using yaourt and like it a lot. Do you have an alternative that works better and has the same functionality?

There is this marvelous wiki article about AUR helpers you can frequent for a list of AUR helpers.

makepkg is the best AUR helper IMO
