[SOLVED] core.db Not Downloading?

RossKO · 2012-05-12 13:48:03

Hi all.

Simple problem I'm sure core.db refuses to download with a timeout error, but both extra and community download fine. I have tried multiple different mirrors, and I had no problem installing the default packages via the mirror at install.

If you need to see my rc.conf or mirrorlist just let me know.

Can you wget core.db from the mirror? What does "pacman -Syy --debug" tell you?

RossKO · 2012-05-12 14:57:05

wget works fine, the file is downloaded.

When debug is run, the errors that I get are;

error: failed retrieving file 'cored.db' from mirrors.kernel.org : Connection time-out
debug: failed to sync db: download library error
error: failed to update core (download library error)

Interesting.

Do you have ipv6 enabled? If so, try disabling it as indicated here.

RossKO · 2012-05-12 16:57:26

Thanks, disabling IPv6 was the answer, hope this problem gets fixed soon.

*Note to anyone else with this problem, just adding "ipv6.disable=1" to kernel line in boot loader was the fix

Good to hear you've got it working.

Don't forget to mark your thread as [SOLVED].

Might sound stupid... but how do I do that?

Not sure about the boot loader, but i do kernel stuff in etc/sysctl.conf

btw i would love to know as well. Iwe used curl and wget the past year.

I think he meant marking the thread

You can simply edit your opening post and add [SOLVED] to the subject line.

I have similar issues with this. It seems that the problem appears intermittently both with and without ipv6 disabled.

Also it seems that syslog-ng fails during boot and I think it is somehow connected to this problem (partially completed pacman -Syu update).

I have now tried with two different ISPs so the problem is most likely not mirror-related.

I can post error messages - just tell what you need to see.

Well all I did was disable IPv6 and that fixed all my problems, I'm not sure about your problem, maybe the others can help... I'm still going to mark this thread 'SOLVED' as it did appear to fix my problem.
