[SOLVED] Unable to update with -Syuu but able to install packages
After going through the wiki, I feel I've done almost all changes as suggested like importing the keys, signing them locally etc. But I am unable to update my system with 'pacman -Syuu' command.
Output ...
[parijath@archbang ~]$ sudo pacman -Syuu

But I am able to install individual packages. I installed evince and leafpad with pacman -S successfully. Why am not able to update ? Can somebody help ?

Is that the full output? pacman usually prints the name of the corrupt package....

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to update with -Syuu but able to install packages
Strangely, the problem is solved after I have cleared the cache with 'pacman -Sc' command, though it is not recommended normally as per the wiki. After clearing the cache, when I ran 'pacman -Syuu' again, that time it even showed me that I need to download around 68MB and finished successfully. Now I feel it may be due to some corruptly downloaded packages or something like that which might be hanging there around in the cache yesterday night when I tried updating my system in vein again and again and finally shut down my PC.
I am marking this thread as SOLVED. Thanks to you Allan and hardrons123 for your immediate responses.
