Did a pacman -Syu now probs, please help....

I was not for sure exactly where to post this. It was either here or the pacman section. Ohwell, here is my prob.
I recently did a pacman -Syu like I normally do every couple days. It went through and did some upgrades like normal but after the upgrade I now have this whenever I run pacman -Syu.

[root@Speedphreak anvildemon]# pacman -Syu

I also am not able to access ftp sites or servers of any kind. I even cannot connect to my ftp space I have with gftp. I also now cannot send or recieve files using xchat. I noticed the thing with inetd so I tried with xinetd to see if that would make a difference. Unfortunately it didn't, I still recieve the same error and problems. Is there something else I need to do to fix this? If any more info is needed please let me know so I can post it for ya, as I have no idea why I am having this prob otherwise.

BTW, obviously my web browser is working and so is my e-mail client. I can talk on xchat but I cannot send or recieve files on it.

Re: Did a pacman -Syu now probs, please help....

pacman -S iputils

It shouldn't have to download anything, the package should already be on your hard drive.

That will fix it.

To find the answer you could have also searched the forum.  This thread would have probably come up:

Re: Did a pacman -Syu now probs, please help....

i get weird messages also, when i try to upgrade/install iputils i get the following:

root@dexedrine [~] (34) % pacman -Sf iputils

Targets: iputils-020927-3

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

error: can't get md5 checksum for archive iputils-020927-3.pkg.tar.gz
Segmentation fault

i fixed this by connecting to the ftp.archlinux.org ftp server and downloading iputils-020927-3.pkg.tar.gz.  because iputils wasn't installed there was no services file, so i had to specify the port when connecting (lftp ftp.archlinux.org 21) then doing:

root@dexedrine [~] (47) % pacman -A iputils-020927-3.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
installing iputils... done.

just thought this would probably help some people smile

Thanks for the help. I will do a search next time. I was just in a rush as I was tired when I realized I had the problem.  Also, thanks jason, that bit extra may help out someothers that run into the same prob. smile
