No state file, cannot resume! Love, Pacman... ***SOLVED***

Hey all, I don't know what happened to pacman, and I can't find another entry with the above error in it. How do I fix my little dot eating gal?

Could you please post here the exact message in the output ?

Please post the exact output. Preferably with the "--debug" and "--verbose" flags.

Looks like a problem with axel. Try the default transfer command.

@SamC

Ya, it was axel. I switched her over to wget and it built a databse fine and offered upgrade options. So I cancelled that and changed it back to axel and it built fine and offered upgrade options properly again.
That --debug -v is kinda neat. It definitely lets ya see everything going on. Thanks ya'll.

If you want to use axel try this wrapper script:

$ grep axel /etc/pacman.conf
XferCommand = /opt/myapps/axelw.sh -n 4 -a -o %o %u

$ cat /opt/myapps/axelw.sh
#!/bin/bash
CMD=/usr/bin/axel
OF=`echo $@ | grep -o -e '-o [^ .]*' | sed 's/-o //'`
OPT=`echo $@ | sed -e 's/-o [^ .]*//'`

if [[ $@ == *"-o"* ]]
then
if [[ ! -f $OF ]]
then
cd `dirname $OF`
$CMD $OPT
fi
else
$CMD $@
fi
