pacman -Syu problems

Colossus · 2005-12-05 07:49:25

Hi,

this morning it happened a very strange problem with pacman. It stops with an error (see below) but I don't have gnome-vfs installed. I need gdm but not gnome so I installed it with -d to avoid gnome dependencies but it didn't give me any problem. This very morning it happens I can upgrade my system. Can anyone help please ?

[root@Paradise gt]# pacman -Syu

As it can be seen, it can't download current and extra repositoy databases, thus it doesn't have the current package set while resolving dependencies.
archlinux.antesis.org is probably dead or just temporalily unavailable. Just change the server to ftp.archlinux.org or whatelse (first position in /etc/pacman.d/(current|extra).

Ok, it helped a bit but:

What does this mean ? Up to yesterday all went fine, I didn't touch anything so why now udev conflicts with hotplug ??

Udev in testing just gets rid of hotplug, as obsolete.

I use udev 068. May I get rid of hotplug ? Sure ?

The version that forces removal of hotplug is udev 76. It's in testing just to be tested, so can't assure you that were won't be any problems. Anyway, you're 'sitting' on testing repo, so I guess you're aware of its nature.
