Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

Hi, I have an alias created in my .bashrc file to update my archlinux, use reflector on it as follows ...

alias u="sudo reflector --sort rate -l 10 -f 5 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && yaourt -Syyu --aur"

By upgrading reflector recently, it has stopped working with sudo. If I do run as root it works well, but if I run with sudo ...

I have tried to find a solution to the final error (I think that's the problem) but I have not managed to fix it
Can anyone help?
Thank you. A greeting.

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

I can report the same here.

I just updated minutes ago with this error

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

So I rm'd /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/__pycache__/Reflector.cpython-32.pyc (possibly not the smartest idea) but upgrade went through. Ran reflector and now have same error as OP. In 'su' works as intended.

Not helpful I know but thought I would add some info.

Cheers.

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

Culpa mea. It should be fixed in the newest version.

You can get it from my repo right now or wait for your mirror to synchronize.

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

Hm I have not been able to find any repo where this is fixed yet:

feil: kunne ikke utføre transaksjon (motstridende filer)
reflector: /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/__pycache__/Reflector.cpython-32.pyc finnes i filsystemet
Feil oppstod, ingen pakker ble oppgradert.

What repo are you using?

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

So what are the solution here?

Should we

rm /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/__pycache__/Reflector.cpython-32.pyc

Or wait for the mirrors to sync?

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

loafer, I don't think Xyne was talking about the Reflector.cpython-32.pyc file problem, but rather about the sudo one. So with the risk of hijacking the thread, the question remains: how should we install the newest reflector with this file conflict? Is this a sign of a problem or can be neglected by using the --force?

My mirror seems up-to-date:

community/reflector 2012.7.1-1 [installed: 2012.3.26-1]
xyne-any/reflector 2012.7.1-1 [installed: 2012.3.26-1]

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

Well, I just forced the reflector update (before the sudo problem update came out) and it didn't break and the sudo fix/update didnt throw the same error and works fine now, I'd assume it's safe to force the package in this case.

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

The .pyc error is unrelated. I don't actually know why those occasionally leak in to the filesystem. I'll look into it and release an update when I have a solution.

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

Ok, I've just looked through all of my Python packages. Aside from still using the "build" function instead of the "package" function (which has now been corrected), they all follow the Python packaging guidelines, i.e. they use setup.py with "--optimize=1" to generate .pyc files.

I haven't changed those functions in ages so I really don't know why the previous reflector package failed to track the .pyc file. Regardless, I have just updated all of my own packages and checked for conflicts. There were none.

If the conflict persists, please post the output of "pacman -Qi reflector; pacman -Ql reflector".

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

@wrarus
Thanks.

Does anyone know if this is due to a recent Python update? It seems that the default location for byte-compiled code has changed.

Just force the update (pacman -Sf reflector") for now. Do not force a full system upgrade, only the individual package.

Re: Reflector has stopped working with sudo.

I wasn't using sudo, but I received the same error message:

 error: failed to cache JSON data ([Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.cache/mirrorstatus.json')

I then tried to touch the file and I got this:

  # touch /root/.cache/mirrorstatus.json
touch: cannot touch ‘/root/.cache/mirrorstatus.json’: No such file or directory

So I mkdir ~/.cache and it worked. Somehow, it was working just fine before, but now it required a new cache directory that it didn't make.
