Pacman-Resolving dependencies tooo long...

Hi,

pacman don't work :

:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra                    406.0K  128.8K/s 00:00:03 [####################################################################] 100%
community                358.3K  173.0K/s 00:00:02 [####################################################################] 100%
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies..

And stay resolving dependencies for ever . No errors, no log's, no work. Only a CPU usage near 100% all time until I press Ctrl-C.
Can I enable debug mode? some ideas?

Thanks.

Debug mode is enabled using the "--debug" flag.

Hi Allan,

Thank's for your reply.

I've enabled debug mode, but I can't find nothing helpful:

(.............)
debug: new version of 'xterm' found (235-1 => 235-2)
debug: adding package xterm-235-2 to the transaction targets
resolving dependencies...
debug: resolving target's dependencies
debug: started resolving dependencies
debug: checkdeps: package aalib-1.4rc5-6
^Cdebug: returning error 24 from alpm_trans_interrupt : operation not compatible with the transaction type

debug: closing database 'local'
debug: unregistering database 'local'
debug: freeing package cache for repository 'local'
debug: closing database 'core'
debug: unregistering database 'core'
debug: freeing package cache for repository 'core'
debug: closing database 'extra'
debug: unregistering database 'extra'
debug: freeing package cache for repository 'extra'
debug: closing database 'community'
debug: unregistering database 'community'
debug: freeing package cache for repository 'community
(.....)

I think that "aalib" is not relevant and simply is the first package to update.  shaman "hangs" in same stage....

Do you think  I must reinstall system or can I try something more?

Thanks.

Also, you might want to try running the "pacman-optimize" that comes with pacman.

Hi Daenyth, thanks for your response:
Debug for  'pacman -Syy pacman' hangs in 'checkdeps', so I press crtl-C:
(...)
debug: loading package cache for repository 'core'
warning: pacman-3.2.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
debug: adding package pacman-3.2.1-1 to the transaction targets
resolving dependencies...
debug: resolving target's dependencies
debug: started resolving dependencies
debug: checkdeps: package pacman-3.2.1-1
^Cdebug: returning error 24 from alpm_trans_interrupt : operation not compatible with the transaction type

debug: closing database 'local'
debug: unregistering database 'local'
debug: freeing package cache for repository 'local'
(...)

Hi  Allan,

Output for pacman-optimize is:

==> MD5sum'ing the old database...
==> Tar'ing up /var/lib/pacman/...
bsdtar: Failed to set default locale
==> Making and MD5sum'ing the new db...
bsdtar: Failed to set default locale
==> Checking integrity...
==> Putting the new database in place...
bsdtar: Failed to set default locale

==> Finished. Your pacman database has been optimized.
==> For full benefits of pacman-optimize, run 'sync' now.

Maybe a problem with locales? I've run 'sync', but problem still remains.
Pacman work fine until 26-08 (log):

(...)
[2008-08-26 18:34] starting full system upgrade
[2008-08-26 18:46] upgraded kdelibs3 (3.5.9-3 -> 3.5.10-1)
(...)

Nothing special, I think, though  I use now kde4...... 
I don't make changes with locale, system works fine, filesystems are Ok.... I don't understand nothing!

Thanks.

Re: Pacman-Resolving dependencies tooo long...

Can you check to see if you have a proper locale uncommented in /etc/locale.gen and you've run locale-gen?
