[SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

While I'm trying to resolve issue "package-query: requires pacman<3.6", I did wrong that entering "pacman-key --init" right after upgrading pacman. Now it neither upgrade nor install programs.

pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...

#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# 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.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

At first sight, it would seem that it's simply unable to resolve the hostnames. Is other connectivity from the box working correctly (webbrowsing,...)?

I've internet connection. All the mirrors I've uncommented are working properly, I guess.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

Since he's posting on forum, I'd say yes wink
Anyway, try sending a ping to the servers (I can ping them, they should be online).

Maybe, it's this problem?

wiki wrote:

Q: Pacman cannot find PGP keys to import nor update packages. How can I fix this?
A: The problem is not actually with pacman. It is the default key server's fault. Solve this by changing the default key server to a more reliable one like this:
# sed -i '/keyserver/ s,keys.gnupg.net,pgp.mit.edu,' /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
Pacman4 is now ready for use.


For package query (and yaourt), in case you didn't solve the problem alrdy, you have to remove both packages, update pacman to 4.0 and then reinstall the updated packages from AUR manually.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

Just making sure smile  (could be posting from another pc).

Check if you can approach the mirrors "manually". For example try to wget one of the files (wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/cor … 6/core.db).

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

With "wget" it can't be downloaded. May it be DNS error?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

Well, if you can ping a server, that you can't download from, that's usually a problem induced by...a bitchy BOFH! big_smile

Well, let's be serious again: I'd go for some kind of PGP-error.
Try

pacman-key -u

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

Could you post the output of the following commands:

* ifconfig -a
* cat /etc/resolv.conf
* ping mirrors.kernel.org
* ping 8.8.8.8
* tail -50 /var/log/pacman.log

It sounds similar to this bug.  Did you try disabling ipv6?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not working after updating.

Disabline ipv6 did the trick; pacman's working now. But will disabling ipv6 trouble afterwards?
