Pacman Error message [Solved]

Hi,

since a week i always get this error message when I´m running a pacman command even -Syu.

:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/4) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
(2/4) Cleaning pacman cache...
call to execv failed (No such file or directory)
error: command failed to execute correctly
(3/4) Updating icon theme caches...
(4/4) Updating the desktop file MIME type cache...

But it seems like pacman would still execute without any problem.

Is that an error?

Thanks in advance.

Jack

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

Have you edited

#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

in your pacman.conf?

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

Does the path exist?

Check

pacman -Syu --debug

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

This is because you lack https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86 … s-headers/

There's no attempt to clean caches and no related error either.
=> What *exact* command did produce the original error?
Also

pacman -Sc --debug

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

1. I aleready had linux-lts-headers
2. Think it was

sudo pacman -Syu

or

sudo pacman -Sc

3. I've run the debug command but the error didn't change

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

What error didn't change how?
Please don't paraphrase.

I already had linux-lts-headers

==> dkms install --no-depmod -m ufsd-module -v 9.6.7 -k 5.10.60-1-lts
configure: error: "Can't find kernel source files"

Either you or dkms are wrong

pacman -Q linux-lts-headers

Think it was

Your shell most likely has a history.

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

1. Forget the thing with the error not changing, had a mistake in my thords
2.

$ sudo pacman -Q linux-lts-headers
linux-lts-headers 5.10.60-1

Guess dkms is wrong

3. Yea i can see the shell command history but i can´t see when the output of the error first occured

Because the solution doesn´t seem that simple, can you tell me if you think that this could lead to an error. If not I would just let it be because everything is working fine for now.

Thanks for your effort

(If you could tell me where i could close a post I would be very happy thanks)

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

Consult /var/lib/dkms/ufsd-module/9.6.7/build/make.log for more information.

What's in this log?

---

DKMS make.log for ufsd-module-9.6.7 for kernel 5.10.60-1-lts (x86_64)

I would probably just get rid of ufsd-module-dkms, it's been out of date for over a year and 9.6.7 is probably just not compatible with 5.10 kernel. If you absolutely need it, you might be able to get the latest version from their website (9.7.5) and update the PKGBUILD yourself, or wait for the driver to be directly included in the linux kernel.

(For what it's worth, 9.7.5 also fails on LTS.)

Re: Pacman Error message [Solved]

1. In /var/lib/dkms/ufsd-module/9.6.7/build/make.log is

  GNU nano 5.8     /var/lib/dkms/ufsd-module/9.6.7/build/make.log

make: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.10.60-1-lts/build'

2. I got rid of ufsd-module-dkms (thank you)

/var/lib/dkms/ufsd-module/9.6.7/build/make.log is deleted now

3. but I still got this error

(2/3) Cleaning pacman cache...

This is a hook you added yourself.  You will need to provide a copy of the file for anyone to know what is going on.
