Pacman 3 Update

dolby · 2007-04-30 18:00:11

when i update my system with pacman -Syu i get

warning: audacious-plugins-1.3.3-1: ignoring package upgrade (1.3.3-1)

which seems to me to be the same version, only difference is that the installed one was built by me.
sorry for opening a new thread about this but the bug tracker didnt seem to have anything apropriate and the pacman 3 thread has been locked here...

dolby · 2007-04-30 18:37:25

also just noticed

 man pacman
No manual entry for pacman

i suppose thats been done on purpose..

Snowman · 2007-04-30 18:58:29

Try reinstalling pacman. I have pacman 3.0.3-1 and the man page is there.

dolby · 2007-04-30 19:39:16

well i have the man pages too its just that my user cant access them for some reason. root does normally. seems like my user cant access some man* directories as well even tho permissions are -rw-r--r-- on all of them.

ps. its a fresh installation on another pc & i honestly have no idea what might cause that

Same here. Just installed pacman3 a few minutes ago.

man pacman does not work. only sudo man pacman.

bones · 2007-04-30 23:12:59

Running pacman 3.0.3-1 works fine here with man pages

cactus · 2007-04-30 23:14:27

are the directories chmod 644? or the man files?
Because the directories should be chmod 755, and the individual man pages should be chmod 644.

aRcHaTe · 2007-04-30 23:52:35

works fine for me

toofishes · 2007-05-01 00:25:26

I saw this issue about pacman man pages earlier today on #archlinux. However, some investigation seemed to reveal this was not the only package whose manpages were inaccessible, but it was an entire directory (such as man/man8).

Try accessing some of the other man pages on your system that reside in the same directory as pacman.8.gz.

yes.. man 3, man3x, man5, man8. those directories are inaccessible.

toofishes · 2007-05-01 00:33:30

Can you post permissions on the entire man directory tree?
Leaving out locale directories, here is what I see (current directory of /usr, ls -la man/):

darweth · 2007-05-01 00:37:07

Can you provide me with the code to do that? I am actually probably the wrong person to be dealing with here since I am pretty Linux/console illiterate. I am able to use Arch thanks to through wikis/guides, but I still am clueless for many basic things. I discovered the different permissions for the directories I listed via GUI tools.

Anyway, let me know the command to run and I will post the data.

toofishes · 2007-05-01 00:44:52

I thought the ls -la I provided would be pretty clear...
Anyway, here you go (after opening a terminal):

cd /usr
ls -la man/

toofishes · 2007-05-01 00:53:54

OK, this looks like a corrupted package issue. Can you (anyone having this issue actually) post the last few packages you have installed, or at least the packages since you know these man pages were working? Look at /var/log/pacman.log for this.

One of the packages that people are installing is changing the permissions on these directories. A possible way of checking this- see if any man pages in the affected directories are the same busted permissions (missing group and other read access). These are likely the cause of the busted directory permissions.

darweth · 2007-05-01 00:59:40

This is not that difficult since I used man pacman just the other day and have not installed much since.

[04/30/07 10:34] upgraded gnome-python (2.18.0-1 -> 2.18.2-1)
[04/30/07 10:34] upgraded gtkmm (2.10.8-1 -> 2.10.9-1)
[04/30/07 10:34] upgraded openssl (0.9.8e-2 -> 0.9.8e-3)

normal updates

[04/30/07 18:52] installed libarchive (1.3.1-2)
[04/30/07 18:53] upgraded libarchive (1.3.1-2 -> 1.3.1-2)
[04/30/07 18:53] installed libdownload (1.1-1)

i had to install these because pacman3 depended on them.

there is a possibility i corrupted libarchive... i was being inept and messed around with things before libarchive totally completed... then i just reinstalled it along with libdownload.

dolby · 2007-05-01 04:02:32

i no longer have the issue cause i reinstalled the whole system since i had the pkgs in another pc and it took less than an hour to do so, but this time didnt installl pacman 3.0.3 and afaict now it works ok

btw @ toofishes: i was the one who mentioned this at #archlinux

Well, I do not have the luxury of a reinstall at the moment. I am pretty sure one of the packages I posted above is the culprit. I hope this issue can be identified and corrected.

cactus · 2007-05-01 15:01:38

yeah. it is in the pacman3 package.

tar -tzvf pacman-3.0.1-1.pkg.tar.gz

drwx------ root/root 0 2007-04-28 09:36 usr/man/man5/
drwx------ root/root 0 2007-04-28 09:36 usr/man/man8/
drwx------ root/root 0 2007-04-28 09:36 usr/man/man3/

------------------------
darweth. To fix your system, do the following as root.

chmod 755 /usr/man/man3 /usr/man/man5 /usr/man/man8

Well... due to this issue and messing around with things, I ended up totally deleting pacman. Trying to get it back now, but not having much success. Any tips?

I am looking at this thread.

just download the pacman package..and untar it. use the pacman binary in the extracted directory to install pacman again.

darweth · 2007-05-01 15:35:33

[bepogi@bepogi pacman-2.9.8]$ dir
COPYING      acconfig.h    config.status  doc         pacman.static

sorry for bugging you again. well, i have never installed a binary before w/o a package manager. which is the exact file i am looking for and what is the command to install pacman? i am clueless! haha.

Do the following as root. Be careful.

cd $HOME
mkdir TESTING; cd TESTING;
wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing/os/i686/pacman-3.0.3-1.pkg.tar.gz
tar -xzf pacman-3.0.3-1.pkg.tar.gz
usr/bin/pacman.static -U pacman-3.0.3-1.pkg.tar.gz
chmod 755 /usr/man/man3 /usr/man/man5 /usr/man/man8
cd $HOME
rm -rf TESTING

Note: the usr/bin/pacman.static command does *not* have a leading /. This is on purpose. It is using the pacman from the package you extracted manually.

Thanks. I am almost there. The reason my pacman was removed was because I absentmindedly removed libarchive and libdownload while half-awake and did not see that pacman3 would be removed too (or was not thinking). any way i can easily install those dependencies for pacman3? or can you provide the address for pacman2.9.8 and i can follow the same above steps?
