[Solved] Consistent 'failed to commit transaction' errors
I am consistently getting the following error when installing packages
$ sudo pacman -S flashplugin
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Packages (1): flashplugin-11.2.202.327-1
Total Download Size: 8.30 MiB
Total Installed Size: 22.66 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: 0.00 MiB
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

(1/1) checking package integrity [#######################################################################################################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (wrong or NULL argument passed)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.The weird thing is if I run pacman -S again the command will work as expected.

Re: [Solved] Consistent 'failed to commit transaction' errors
Turns out I was using only 2 mirrors which weren't updating regularly enough - added more mirrors and it seemed to help.
