[SOLVED] cannot install from AUR

funkmuscle · 2010-11-22 23:27:36

as I was updating a kernel from AUR, I lost power during the build and now aurget, packer, and yaourt doesn't seem to work...

these are the errors with an example of each:

$ aurget -S calf-git
searching AUR...

Targets (1): calf-git-20100827-1

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
:: Retrieving source tarball from AUR...

wget: unable to resolve host address "aur.archlinux.org"
error: failed to retrieve aur sources

packer -S kernel26-lqx

Aur Targets (1): kernel26-lqx

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/usr/bin/packer: line 273: cd: kernel26-lqx: No such file or directory
No PKGBUILD found in directory.

$ yaourt -S traverso
curl error: Couldn't resolve host name

only yaourt gave the curl error... I think that curl was updated around that time... any idea?

if it's curl, have you tried to reinstall it? also, check your /var/log/pacman.log

you can try cower, slurpy too.

tried reinstalling curl.. didn't help... what to look for in /var/log/pacman.log?

Um... it looks like you have not network connection...

funkmuscle · 2010-11-23 02:21:17

will look at that..

web browsing is fine.. pacman works so don't know what else I can do..
when I ping AUR, I get:

ping aur.archlinux.org
PING aur.archlinux.org (208.92.232.29) 56(84) bytes of data.

funny, packer updates the main repos:

packer -Syyu

it installed one package but not all that was available for update.

if you mean me on fixing my post, I don't understand... my problem was my DNS servers from my ISP... I used google's DNS and my issue was fixed just like I said above. That may not be your issue.
