dhcpcd issues when updating my pacman

Jzarecta · 2015-06-16 11:32:45

I have read the wiki, and know that we could get the issues with filesystem. However I can't get this to work correctly when doing pacman -Syu. Using the issue with the dhcpcd I tried to look for similar packages that own those files.

dhcpcd: /usr/bin/dhcpcd exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/licenses/dhcpcd/LICENSE exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man5/dhcpcd.conf.5.gz exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd-run-hooks.8.gz exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd.8.gz exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Welcome to the forums. You said you've read the wiki, but which part - this exact error is covered in the pacman wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … 9.22_error

You say you tried to look for packages that own those files - that's good, but show us. What are the results?

Well, no result:

error: No package owns /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks

Thats where I am stuck since the wiki doesnt address anything further. Also since this update/package most be experience by others, I would appreciate if there was a tutorial to get it back into normality.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FA … ge_is_X.3F

$ pkgfile /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
core/dhcpcd

You may try forcing update of this package.

What's the output of

stat --format "%n %s" /var/lib/pacman/local/dhcpcd-*/files

Sure it does, the fourth sentence from the link I gave:

wiki wrote:

If the file is not owned by another package, rename the file which 'exists in filesystem' and re-issue the update command. If all goes well, the file may then be removed.

As for others experiencing this - no, that is not the case. Something has gone wrong on your system. Either you installed dhcpcd manually circumventing pacman, or your package database was corrupted.
