[Solved ]Upgrade failed

roginovicci · 2012-01-30 12:25:31

pacman -Syu always fails with

error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

in /etc/pacman.conf

...
SigLevel = Never

[multilib]
SigLevel = Never

What's wrong?

You can look in the output of "pacman --debug -Syu" to see what package is corrupted. Then you can delete it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg.

roginovicci · 2012-01-30 13:22:30

it's seems impossible to find corrupted file. here is a part of log:

I've removed /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-1.11.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and downloaded again. Same result. Thats an odd result while common upgrade.

I've parsed the full huge log and found the following:

is it perl package fails?

I've rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/perl-5.14.2-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

and same result

mod action: As this issue looks generic rather than simply an installation problem, I'm moving this thread to Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues.

roginovicci · 2012-01-30 18:14:09

the odd issue, I upgraded perl manually with pacman -S perl, but next time I'm trying full upgrade with pacman -Syu I've got the same issue

falconindy · 2012-01-30 19:21:36

You need to post the entire log if you want someone else to be able to figure out where the problem is.

This sounds a lot like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134683. Same advice about FTP servers undoubtedly applies.

Thank you. I have the last question:
I have a lot of packages with the same name but different versions in /var/cache/pacman/pkg. This leads to huge disk space leakage. for example:

>ls kdebase-lib-*
kdebase-lib-4.7.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz  kdebase-lib-4.7.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz  kdebase-lib-4.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
kdebase-lib-4.7.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz  kdebase-lib-4.7.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Is it possible to remove old versions and left the only last one ( kdebase-lib-4.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz in my example)

karol · 2012-01-31 14:34:32

It's possible. Please read pacman's man page for details.

There are also some more elaborate scripts that can keep e.g. the last n versions of a package.

paccache is one such script... It's part of community/pacman-contrib.

Thx. Solved.

Hi
I have the same problem , when I run: pacman -Suu --debug , it says:

But it's interesting that I can install yakuake package by pacman -U
I think the problem is not with the package,I downloaded several times
Do you have any idea how to solve this?
