pacman always hangs at certain point [mysteriously solved]

Whenever I run pacman and confirm that I want to upgrade (any package[s]), the output always gets stuck at this point:

:: pacman-3.0.5-2: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies... done.
looking for inter-conflicts... done.

and I have to kill it by process id. Rebooting didn't help. Could something be corrupt? How can I check?

Re: pacman always hangs at certain point [mysteriously solved]

The above is output of pacman -S pacman ?
Try adding --debug flag and paste output here.
Maybe show your pacman.conf as well.


pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))

Re: pacman always hangs at certain point [mysteriously solved]

I had the same problem with kernel26-2.6.22-4 and an externel HD attached via Firewire or USB.
After detaching the HD, pacman immediatly started to work again. smile
That was a problem with a driver in kernel 2.6.22 and was fixed with the new kernel release .23

That might also help, though I'm not sure.

I've found that this had to do with NFS mishaps.. if you see this issue, see to unmount NFS shares (or check to see if some are stale)..
