[SOLVED] Pacman sync problem

debdj · 2012-02-01 07:21:05

I'm recently having a problem trying to sync the package databases or any packages with pacman.
Here're some outputs: http://pastebin.ca/2108502

I've tried different mirrors but no avail. should I delete the dbs and then try ?

Here it is:

└$ df -Th

I deleted the db files and sync went fine for once. After rebooting its the same problem. Though core and extra rep databases got synced, it was stuck at community @ 24%. and now the same is happening again.

Never had this problem defore after upgrading to pacman4.

EDIT: I have swap on sda16. shouldn't it show that as well?

Your /var partition is full. I think your need to make some space there.

pacman keeps stuff in /var by default: sync dbs, local ones, logs, package cache.

/var is full. Pacman stores the package cache, logs, sync databases in there. 610M is very small for var though, it may be better if you store your pacman cache elsewhere by default (edit the relevant option in pacman.conf)

pacman -Sc

will get rid of any uninstalled packages in cache. Append another c to clear all packages from cache (they'll still be installed).
