pacman cant download packages upgrade doesnt work SOLVED

Pacman is complaining that there is no package to download. Also to each server it connnects gives error 404.
I checked my mirrorlist and I have enough servers checked there. Also I think there noting wrong with pacman.conf.
My system was not upgraded for at least 2 years.

Here I tried to upgrade one of the packages.

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y

That's your problem right there. Follow up on the news from the last 2 years on the main page to rectify.

Also, since you are posting in the English forum, you might want to translate your snippet so people can understand. An easy way to do this is to change the locale temporarily by using LC_ALL. Look into it.

Re: pacman cant download packages upgrade doesnt work SOLVED

Pacman is broken now.

pacman -Syu
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Followed all the news and changes from year 2010. My problem was that I could not upgrade pacman to version 4 (is 3.5 npw). But now even the current version 3.5 is broken.

I will have to manually install pacman or what ?

Q: pacman is completely broken! How do I reinstall it?
A: In the case that pacman is broken beyond repair, manually download the necessary packages (openssl, libarchive, and pacman) and extract them to root. The pacman binary will be restored along with its default configuration file. Afterwards, reinstall these packages with pacman to maintain package database integrity. Additional information and an example (outdated) script that automates the process is available in this forum post.

Lets try this...

It worked, now I have pacman version 4.

Re: pacman cant download packages upgrade doesnt work SOLVED

My problem is still pacman...
pacman -Syu
pacman: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)

Solved
Manullly extract GLIBC downloaded from packages database
