[solved]Pacman/qt problems

banshee28 · 2013-03-15 23:52:17

Ok, not sure what happened since I had the /usr/lib issue working, but i think qt4 broke it. I did read about it in the homepage, but not sure whats really going on here.

$ ls -al /usr/
total 280
drwxr-xr-x  10 root root  4096 Feb 11 06:02 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root root  4096 Feb 27 21:26 ..

drwxr-xr-x 165 root root  4096 Feb 27 07:25 share
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Feb 28 07:10 src

Under /usr/lib, it looks like half are links and the other half are not.
When I run packman, here is what i get

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/qt-4.8.4-3/desc: No such file or directory

And of course there is no 'desc' under there:

$ ls -la /var/lib/pacman/local/qt-4.8.4-3/
total 48
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Feb  5 19:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 675 root root 36864 Mar  4 07:41 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   186 Feb  5 06:28 install

I even tried to remove qt but that did not work...LOL
Then running a pacman -Syu and even ignoring qt,qt4, I get this error and cant update anything

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/qt-4.8.4-3/desc: No such file or directory
error: failed to prepare transaction (unexpected error)

If you are referring to changing my mirrors and running a pacman -Syyu, I did that but it did not change anything. I used reflector to change my top 5 mirrors.
I still get this trying to update even if I "ignore" qt and qt4.

Looks like your pacman database got messed up somehow. This section of the wiki is meant for restoring a more total loss, but you could probably adapt it for just the qt package

Thanks, did that but got stuck on the alias part...It did not seem to work, so I did as much as I could from there and still have issues. Here is what i get now doing a full sys update. I did manage to "reinstall all packages" following the wiki restore page.

Since qt4 seems to be the only thing messed up, this seems to be one of the few cases when using

pacman -S --force qt4

seems the right approach.

Thanks for all the help so far....Any other suggestions? This is my wife's PC, and mine is 98% the exact same install/config/packages, but has no issues. So not sure how this one got messed up?

sdh · 2013-03-18 02:38:15

I have three files under /var/lib/pacman/local/qt4-4.8.4-13/ : desc, files, install. These are missing in your system for some reason. I think if you can restore these somehow (copying same version files from another system?), you'll get it to work.

progandy · 2013-03-18 05:52:55

First fix you qt installation, that means force-reinstall "qt", not "qt4". It should still be in your pacman cache:

pacman -U --force /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qt-4.8.4-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Then try a regular upgrade with -Syu. There may be some AUR packages interfering which you will have to remove (or temporarily remove/fix the dependency in the pacman-cache) and reinstall afterwards.

I tried this but did not have the pkg there. I guess that got deleted once I started doing the pacman database fix. Not sure where to get it, now that its no longer in the repos? I can also try sdh's suggestion but that looks like qt4 not qt?

Here you can find older packages for i686 and x86_64: http://arm.konnichi.com/search/index.ph … =1&extra=1
