Re: pacman segmentation fault

check to see if you have a mirror uncommented in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
second don't do pacman -S conky . if you see is pulling libjpeg7 package and your system will pe screwed.
pacman -Syu (to update all packages depending on libjpeg7) and then pacman -S conky

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: pacman segmentation fault

i want to install package offline (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … f_packages).
Futhermore, it did running well before. This occured after i just upgraded entire system (offline too)

Re: pacman segmentation fault

don't do pacman -S conky.

Are you sure you don't mean pacman -Sy conky ?

@beehind: have you checked your mirrorlist? Normally pacman should print your mirrors in the debug output, like this:

debug: registering sync database 'core'
debug: opening database 'core'
debug: opening database from path '/var/lib/pacman/sync/core/'
debug: config: including /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
debug: config: attempting to read file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
debug: adding new server URL to database 'core': ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686
debug: adding new server URL to database 'core': http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/archlinux/core/os/i686
debug: adding new server URL to database 'core': ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/core/os/i686
[...]

but I don't see any in yours.
