Update your whole system, not just individual packages.

If you have, try a different mirror.

Thanks WorMzy

i did a system wide update (as always), the issue was probably the mirror that had not all the files updated (or today's massive software update 8P )

everything is fine now!

Re: [SOLVED] 0ad stopped working after update

the issue was probably the mirror that had not all the files updated

Could you tell us what mirror it was? What you’re describing shouldn’t be possible. The filename of a package includes its version. And if a file is missing or inaccessible during update, you get 404 or another error. This makes pacman attempt to use another mirror or fail. Hence you either end up with a proper version or no update at all. There is no way a partial update could occur in this scenario.

Considering above, I see three explainations (except cosmis radiation):

• You made a partial update
  In such case: don’t do it, unless you really know what you’re doing.

• You’re using a non-repo package for miniupnpc (for example from AUR), forget to update it and didn’t told us that.
  In such case: try to remember to tell that next time.

• A rogue or badly misconfigured mirror, and either you have no signatures checking enabled or one of the signing keys has leaked
  In such case: the situation has to be fixed, so tell what mirror was that.
  If you have signatures checking disable, you have to fix that too.

Well, I had the same problem. 0ad updated yesterday, miniupnpc today. The problem is gone now. Also looks like there is an 8 hour difference between the update of 0ad and miniupnpc.

Re: [SOLVED] 0ad stopped working after update

There was a 1 minute difference. Sounds like a mirror issue.

Edit: I apologize, it was a different package that had the 1 minute difference. You're right, miniupnpc wasn't moved when it should have been.

Re: [SOLVED] 0ad stopped working after update

sory for the late reply, but i died yesterday and my respawn was delayed for nearly 12 hours...
... and i was going to say exactly what chembro said: there is a big time difference between the updates of 0ad and miniupnpc.

it's fixed and that's what matters! thanks all!
