pacman problem

hi,
I've just reinstalled archlinux with the new rc iso, everything goes well except pacman...
I have a strange deja vu sensation with it

to explain better the situation I'll paste an example:

pacman -S sonata

Re: pacman problem

Hi Marco,
It would be great if you could have all the messages in english.
Even if I leave close to Italy I am not fluent yet

This can be done easily by running the following :

export LC_ALL="C"
pacman -S sonata

This locale change will remain local to the current terminal and be effective until you exit from the terminal.
Thank you very much !

Will Archlinux finally be THE distro of my dreams ? Time will say, but its on the way

Re: pacman problem

I just installed 'aterm' and installed some package with it (sonata and firefox) and the problem didn't showed up..
so I think there are two possibilities:
1) rxvt-unicode is buggy (but since is very used I dubt)
2) I'm missing some daemon and the terminal doesn't update correctly.

I don't have any daemon (except the default ones) installed actually, but I gave dbus a run and didn't help.
does anyone have a suggestion?
