adcdam · 2013-06-07 19:13:01

Hi im having a problem with yaourt, and packer and i cant also install any package form Aur for example:

packer -S opencascade
grep: /etc/pacman.conf: Permission denied
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf could not be read: Permission denied
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf could not be read: Permission denied

Aur Targets    (1): opencascade

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
Dependencies for `opencascade' are not met, not building..

i have the same problem with yaourt

if i try to install from a tarball for example i get this

makepkg -s
==> Making package: plank-bzr 820-1 (Fri Jun  7 13:06:26 ART 2013)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf could not be read: Permission denied
==> ERROR: 'pacman' returned a fatal error (1): 
[dam2@dam1d plank-bzr]$

i installed arch linux again yesterday and i copy the pacman.conf file that i have in my older arch linux to my new one

# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir      = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
#UseDelta    = 0.7
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#Color
#TotalDownload
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

grep: /etc/pacman.conf: Permission denied
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf could not be read: Permission denied
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf could not be read: Permission denied

This tells you that you have incorrectly configured permissions when you copied the file. Fix that with

chmod 644 /etc/pacman.conf

Also note that I have added code tags ([code]) to your post. Please use them in the future when you post command output or file contents.
