[Solved]Broke pacman in yesterday's update.

jedijimi · 2016-02-03 23:00:18

So updated yesterday, got pacman-5.0.0. Seen the news, updated 'makepkg, 'yaourt', and then pacman. Well it broke. Pacman no longer worked. Couldn't even query any pkg's. Pacman complained about '/usr/lib/libalpm.so.9. Did some googling, and found to remove yaourt, makepkg, then re-install pacman. That did'nt work, since pacman was basically frozen, couldn't do anything with it. So I created a symlink (probably not best way to do things, but we're learning).

Now I don't have the 'usr/lib/libalpm.so.9, again this is the symlink
'ln -s /usr/lib/libalpm.so.10.0.0 /usr/lib/libalpm.so.9'

Well now I can get pacman moving, bit new error. Not sure where to go from here.
Error.

What news? What commands did you run exactly?

Scimmia · 2016-02-03 23:12:45

You're still running pacman 4.2.0. How in the world? That's about a year out of date. What is the output of `which pacman`?

'which pacman'

Get rid of whatever you've done in /usr/local.

jedijimi · 2016-02-03 23:22:43

I didn't do anything in /usr/local. Could I do something like 'pacman -Rdd pacman-4.2.0'?

Scimmia · 2016-02-03 23:36:54

No, this is completely outside of pacman. Most likely cause is from building/installing pacman with make/make install at some point over a year ago. If you want to know when, take a look at the create time of /usr/local/bin/pacman.

jedijimi · 2016-02-03 23:42:25

ok, thx for the tip. I tried rolling back pacman.

Scimmia · 2016-02-03 23:45:59

That's because the copy of pacman you've installed to /usr/local is taking precedence. That's what you're running when you run "pacman", not the version you keep trying to reinstall.

Yeah, that was dumb.

So was dismissing the advice offered in posts #5 and #7 and blindly trying to rollback pacman.

Remove the symlink you created, and clean up your /usr/local copy of pacman as suggested.

jedijimi · 2016-02-04 00:02:01

*trying to remove this comment, since I didn't read all the way thru

No I didn't dismiss anything. I'm trying to work this out.

Am I correct on thinking, that pacman should not even be in /usr/local? Is that what is meant by cleaning /usr/local' up? Cause /usr/local is not on the file list for pacman.

Yes as explained in post #7.

jedijimi · 2016-02-04 00:32:24

Thank you, was not clearly explained that way in post#7, but I get the point, and see the direction.

jedijimi · 2016-02-04 00:38:49

Again saying thank you. All fixed up.
