Some package issues - unrar, glibc

Hi,

The unrar package in current (unrar-3.6.8-1) does not work.  Note the size is off, it is <2k and should be ~90k.  Rebuilding from the PKGBUILD works.

Also, the kernel-headers package is on the server, but not in the package list, so it is not being detected by pacman.  This causes the glibc-2.4-4 upgrade to complain.

What do you mean?

$ ls -l /usr/bin/unrar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 171976 2006-09-23 10:24 /usr/bin/unrar

$ pacman -Q kernel-headers
kernel-headers 2.6.18-3

Re: Some package issues - unrar, glibc

The package at ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/x86_ … pkg.tar.gz is only 2kb.  If you install it, unrar is missing from /usr/bin. 

Also, the ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/x86_ … .db.tar.gz there does not have kernel-headers-2.6.18-3 in it:

[root@arch_64 ~]# pacman -S kernel-headers
kernel-headers: not found in sync db

Also, the kernel-headers-2.6.18-3 package complains about scsi.h  scsi_ioctl.h  sg.h existing when you go to install it.

These are all easy to get around.

Oh, seems like I didn't pay attention to "Arch64 & Other Architectures", sorry.

No problem, I thought maybe I was on a different mirror.

It seems that the A64 nvidia package has an issue as well.  There is a PKGBUILD posted here that can fix it if someone needs it. (for the newer 2.6.18 kernel)
