Pacman intermittent output

Pacman seems to be showing intermittent output that has occurred now during database update and downloading packages.   Installing packages could also be happening.  It acts as if nothing is happening, when the normal course is taking place.  I've seen this on two different machines now.  The mirror at kernel.org seems to be giving a fit also (maybe it's related?)

Re: Pacman intermittent output

For databases,

:: Synchronizing package databases
core                 [#################################]100%
:: Starting full system upgrade
resolving dependencies...

Just jumps without printing anything. I have the normal repos and some unofficial.
For packages

:: Proceed with installation [Y/n]?
:: Retrieving packages ...

Acts like it is tied up, but packages are downloading like normal without showing progress bar. Would think pacman is otherwise locked up or network error.

Have added another mirror to mirrorlist in addition to mirrors.kernel.org, when kernel.org times out.

Ctrl-C out when it appears to be doing nothing, and the Download size is less than the first time, so something was being downloaded.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

It seems to be the problem with the databases not printing is when I do a different root with a different architecture than host. Needless to say running pacman --debug causes all kinds of output and doesn't help determine the soure of the problem.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

It shows everything working as it should with --debug counter to the lines it skips otherwise, so it's not much help.  It appears that pacman is working like it should, but just a few skipped lines indicating what the current action is.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

It would be helpful to know exactly what url pacman is trying to download, which is provided in the --debug output.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

It's not having problems actually downloading anything, it just doesn't show what it is doing.  It's just one of those beserk problems that has some weird glitch in normal operation.  Has anyone else noticed this while they were running pacman?

Re: Pacman intermittent output

Right, and the thing that it is failing to show is the download progress.  So, what is it downloading?

Just as previously mentioned it happens at either the downloading the database or the packages.  When it fails to show the status it would make me think that it isn't doing anything (like it's going to time out, but it never does, because it is downloading contrary to what it shows or fails to show that it is doing).

Re: Pacman intermittent output

This is the last time I am going to ask.  Please provide the --debug output with the download information so I can try to determine why the information is not being shown.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

Is there a way to do that because redirection isn't storing debug output (this is probably stderr) and piping to less isn't stopping it?  The line feed is scrolling past the buffer.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

pacman 2>&1 | tee -a file

Using tee so that you can see the output and save it to a file simulataneously.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

Do I need all of these lines about 

debug: searching for replacements for xyz in repoxyz

because right now I'm all synced up.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

It fails to show the download status for databases right? So, just give me all of the output from 

pacman -Syy --debug

As well as packages, but I don't have a failsafe way to cause it do what it is doing.  Surprised noone else is saying they have noticed it.  But then most people don't panic until pacman says 'error'.

I seem to have the same problem. Sometimes it does not display the progress bars while downloading packages.

Edit: Hm, does --debug disable all progress bars? If so, how useful is it in this case?

Anyway, I have two straces for pacman -S mplayer: one for normal operation, and one for when the download progress bar is not displayed. A quick glance shows that the progress bar is never even written to stdout in the second case:

$ zgrep '^write(1,' pacman_-S_-mplayer.strace.noprogressbars.gz

Which is just stating the obvious, really. :-(

Debug comes to mind, but yes it doesn't really help in this case.

Re: Pacman intermittent output

Can you build pacman with this patch and reproduce the issue with it?  https://github.com/andrewgregory/pacman … 7b54.patch

Re: Pacman intermittent output

@apg: I applied the patch. It looks like some servers do not (always) report the content length…

No Content-Length header = no progress bar:

(chroot) [root@duo /]# pacman -S ruby

looking for conflicting packages...

Yep, the kernel.org servers seem to be broken somehow. They also got significantly slower recently...

Well I also noted that, but wasn't sure if it was a factor or not.  And then added a second mirror, and things seemed to go ok.
