Hi,
The first stage of the installation went without a glitch, then I rebooted and did a "pacman -Syu" when I get:
database file for "extra" does not exist
database file for "community" does not exist
error segmentation fault
I cannot proceed with the installation.
Any idea?
Thanks,
jmak

Do you have a working network connection?
Please post the output of 'pacman -Syu --debug'.

Thanks karol,
A bit embarassing, but I'm not sure how to save the debug output into a file to be able to post it. I got long output.

First off, try running 'pacman -Syy' https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134999
If it doesn't work, post your pacman.conf and
pacman -Syu --debug > pac.logusing an app from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pastebin_Clients (if you can install it).

I've tried the "pacman -Syy" but didn't work.
I don't know what's wrong but the debug output is not saved in the output file. Only one line saved.

Sorry, my mistake, you should use
pacman -Syu --debug 2> pac.log
the missing '2' was the culprit.

Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate.Offline
I don't know what happened, but you can
- pick another mirror
- try using an http mirror, not an ftp one (pick http mirror from the mirrorlist).
Alternatively you can manually download the databases
wget ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/community/os/x86_64/community.db
wget ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/extra/os/x86_64/extra.dbmove them to /var/lib/pacman/sync/ and run 'pacman -Syu' again.
Edit: If you find any *.part files in /var/lib/pacman/sync/ e.g. /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db.part - remove them.

Thanks,
I've tried everything concivable -- changing mirros, reving the part files, changing http from ftp but nothing worked. Tomorrow, I try to reinstall the system to see what happens.

I just wanted to say thank you for this information. I had the same issue with my installation (could find the extra or community dbs) and this solution worked perfectly.

I had this same issue. Running the debug karol suggested fixed my errors. I am finally able to install my bootloader. Thanks karol.

I had the same problem, this worked for me.
