[SOLVED] Pacman wont upgrade any packages

slughappy1 · 2012-01-16 20:58:16

EDIT: I was able to solve my problem by pacman -R yaourt package-query pacman-color, I was then able to update pacman. Since I like yaourt and wanted to keep it I follow the instructions on their page (http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en#get_it). I added their repo to my /etc/pacman.conf and then installed yaourt from pacman and now everything works again like it should.

When I try to upgrade packages I get the following errors:

[jason@barnaby ~]$ sudo pacman -Su
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
    pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] Y

I have it too. And you can add packagekit to the list of dependencies. I tried to remove the packages but gnome-packagekit requires packagekit and so on....So I gave that up.
Help!

pacman 4 is in the repos, some packages are incompatible with it.
Have you tried package-query-git?

You have to wait until packagekit gets updated to work with the new pacman or remove packagekit for now.
Have you tried packagekit-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16507 ?

no I try dont use AUR apps

lordoftux · 2012-01-16 21:46:59

got this error too, when trying to update system.
75 updates waiting..
I'll wait a few days more before trying to update again

karol · 2012-01-16 21:48:16

Why wait?

Evilandi666 · 2012-01-16 21:54:33

I used sudo pacman -Rdd package-query, then sudo pacman -Syu and reinstalled package-query manual afterwards.

And - of course - wait for your mirror to sync. For me pyalpm is still missing and can't be upgraded (for example).

I tried to uninstall packagekit and failed, then I tried to install packagekit-git and that failed too.

[jason@barnaby ~]$ sudo pacman -R packagekit

== Installing missing dependencies...
error: 'gir-repository=0.6.6': could not find or read package

I assume this should be git-repository=0.6.6  Also I can find this package on Pacman or AUR	

Comment by: onestep_ua on Tue, 01 Feb 2011 09:27:06 +0000
This is obsolete dependency connected with gobject-introspection support. I think it can be removed without any problems. :)

also ./autogen.sh must be replaced with:

You need to install the dependencies, that's quite obvious.

package-query won't work with pacman 4, IIRC package-query-git does.

That's wrong, package-query does now. See http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35915

Well pacman should be upgraded first, no ?
Isn't there a chance to break packages if I do not upgrade it first ?

Sorry, it may be a silly question, but i'm new to arch, and, when
using others linux distros, when you didn't upgrade packages the
way they were supposed to be, you could end up with a broken system.

Ps: sorry for the english, I haven't practiced for years

karol · 2012-01-16 22:15:20

Sure, but if the mirrors you're using have already synced, you just install pacman, merge pacnew files, as reminded by the announcement [1] and update again - the rest of the packages.

cmlr · 2012-01-16 22:17:06

Have you tried answering "n" to

:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] n

For me, this updated pacman and the other packages which were causing the problem.

Thanks for the info. They're sure quick to react :-)

Please read the front page announcement http://www.archlinux.org/news/pacman-4-moves-to-core/

Earnestly · 2012-01-16 22:21:38

Ah, I did check the front page when upgrading (as usual) but the current news item at the time was still about udev changes. Thanks for the link.

Edit: Righto, temporarily disabled this nonsense until I can get my head around it. Thanks. (I did all the pacman-key --init and accepted the chaps key, but it still failed. Oh well.)

Did you edit pacman.conf and uncommented 'SigLevel = Optional TrustAll'?

Helped me too - after I had removed pacman-color! Thanks!

Your packages are your problem. If some of them are out of date you might end up in dependency hell.

Edit: Have you tried answering 'Yes'? It should work too: first you update pacman, merge pacnew files and run pacman again to update the rest of the system.
