pacman -Syuf and curl error

newpers · 2012-02-24 04:35:52

I just downloaded the vagrantbox archlinux instance. I was trying to pacman -Syu unzip, but was told I needed to update pacman and its dependencies. Upon updating, I got a pacman: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libalpm.so.7) error. If I try to continue w/ the install, it won't grab the packages because curl no longer works. Any ideas what's going on? Same thing with a fresh vagrant install and running a full update. Log of the full update below.

[vagrant@vagrant-archlinux-64 ~]$ curl --version

Ok, as you can see, I've been an arch user since 2006. I haven't used it in about 3 years, though. And I'm reminded of how easy things break. All I wanted to do was pacman -S unzip, but that particular version of the package no longer existed on the mirror, which I guess happens a lot with Arch, so you're kind of forced to update, and updates are pretty much guaranteed to break things. Am I wrong here?

Using the -f switch and forcing the update is not a fix for an outdated mirror list: it results, as you can see, in breakage. Find an up-to-date mirror, pacman -Syyu and then install the package(s) you need. You may need to manually fix pacman first. There is a sticky for that.

Yes, pacman has tries not to clobber things. Using the force switch overrides that (which can break things). The Arch devs strongly advise against using -f except in the few cases where it's recommend for single packages due to incompatible upgrades (which usually require other recamended actions to keep things running smoothly) or if you really know what you're doing.

Obviously, this means you should never `pacman -Syuf `. If the normal `pacmanworks -Syu` fails than you have some other problem that needs solving.

Hi newpers. I added [ code ] tags for you. Next time please do it yourself (you can edit your own posts). Thanks.
