Re: j2re

that is:
pacman -Sc
pacman -Sy j2re

You just had a bad download, you might try pacman -Syu first to make sure your system, especially pacman is up to date.

Re: j2re

Are you sure that pacman -Sc will work in this case? The corrupted package is not old. From pacman's manual:

Using one --clean  (or  -c)  switch  will  only
              remove  old  packages.  Use it twice to remove all packages from
              the cache.

So it should be pacman -Scc but this will remove all packages from the cache. You can just delete the corrupted file from /var/cache/pacman/pkg and upgrade again.

Re: j2re

it probably won't be the last time. if it happens again you know what to try first. if that does not work it would be good to let the devs know because then it could be a bad upload on their part or mirror issues.

Re: j2re

Not sure if this is or isn't a repository problem (one that went away for you at just the right time).

I've just encountered the same message and have tried ALL above suggestions, repeatedly and in various orders of execution, and I get the same response (and have been for a couple of days).

Are there other tricks to try?  I've tried outright removing (pacman -R j2re) and pacman says it's not in the database :-/

Help?

Thanks,

Jon

# pacman -Scc

Re: j2re

Ah! The "nuclear" cleanup directive.  Yes, -Scc worked.  Thanks!

Somehow, the words "remove all packages" makes me nervous :-D
