# REPOSITORIES

#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

I hope i am not missing anything too obvious.

https://www.archlinux.org/news/pacman-4-moves-to-core/

Did you follow the instructions of the last line in that news post?

fakedrake · 2012-01-24 13:47:55

Solved: not really sure what I did. I suspect it was

pacman -Scc
pacman -S pacman
pacman -Syu

@mcmillan: yeah i did what Allen suggested in his blog but it didnt seem to work... in the above excerpt from my term i had already followed his instructions by the letter.

Please remember to mark the thread as solved.

I just had the same problem (I refrained from updating since the libpng 1.5 update for fear of losing my beloved firefox3), and since this is the first thread that popped up in DuckDuckGo and I didn't find a clear answer in other threads, here's what I did to make it work:

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S pacman
sudo pacman -Su

(The -Su isn't finished yet... But I have good hope )

Edit: The only error during the update was related to libpng:

( 22/244) upgrading gdk-pixbuf2                    [######################] 100%
g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so: libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As per this post I ran "sudo pacman -S gdk-pixbuf2" and it got reinstalled without any error message.
