Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

lilsirecho · 2004-10-04 21:00:50

Received corrupted statement when downloading the pacman -Syu this day Monday, 4 Oct for Glibc

phrakture · 2004-10-04 21:16:07

switch mirrors and try redownloading

lilsirecho · 2004-10-04 21:26:22

How do I change to another mirror?

phrakture · 2004-10-04 22:06:19

edit whichever repo it's coming from (current) in /etc/pacman.d/

move one of the lower servers to the top (pacman uses the first one it connects to, i think)... so you can just move the top one down a few... or use sortmirrors.pl.... check the docs for that one

lilsirecho · 2004-10-04 22:39:12

Cannot find the named pacman.d/ in /etc

Is it correct?

lilsirecho · 2004-10-04 22:43:43

I beg your pardon...I was looking for a file rather than a directory..Now I see my error.

Thanks for the info!!!

lilsirecho · 2004-10-04 22:56:59

Pacman -Syu with new selected mirror gives the following:

root@n6re ~]# pacman -Syu
error: unable to lock pacman database.
if you're sure pacman is not already running, you
can remove /tmp/pacman.lck
[root@n6re ~]#

phrakture · 2004-10-04 23:17:17

do what it says...
try "killall pacman" just in case theirs a wild running one somewhere....
then do "rm /tmp/pacman.lck" as root

try again

lilsirecho · 2004-10-08 16:46:43

[root@n6re ~]# rm /tmp/pacman.lck
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/pacman.lck': No such file or directory
[root@n6re ~]#

Back in the soup!

sarah31 · 2004-10-08 17:30:32

make sure you are typing lowercase "L" for the first letter in .lck

lilsirecho · 2004-10-08 17:35:52

Lower case verified

IceRAM · 2004-10-08 18:02:23

as a side note: installing the new Glibc froze my system (at least it looked like it was frozen) - exactly at the "installing..." part. A restart made the system unusable (kernel didn't load, missing library - obviously). Fixed it by manually installing bits and pieces of the glibc unarchived package. Afterwards, installing the new package over the old one worked flawlessly.

nasty, sorry i just don't know what to recommend.

xerxes2 · 2004-10-10 17:17:06

maybe clearing the cache could help,

# pacman -Scc

Still...yet....

I note several pacman references in the latest news purporting to have solved the bugs..........

You appear to be missing the section heading [current] . The file should begin:

#
# CURRENT: Arch Linux core repository
#
[current]
Server =

I am also not sure why there are square brackets around your second listed server and I would remove those.

lilsirecho · 2004-10-12 16:09:47

Dauphin;
The following is the present listing of pacman.d:

dauphin · 2004-10-12 16:15:34

You are still missing the line [current] - see the quote in my previous message.
Also your first 2 servers are now identical so you can delete one of them altogether.

phrakture · 2004-10-12 16:16:21

the square brackets around a server will mess it up

pacman.conf should have this

[current]
Include = /etc/pcaman.d/current

and /etc/pacman.d/current should look similar to this
