[SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

I'm stumped on this one.

I pulled out a disused laptop out and am trying to update it.  It has been awhile.  Pacman complains of a corrupt package, but provides no clues as to which package.  As far as I can tell, it has gone out and verified that each package is okay.  Then it just fails.  Nothing of interest in the logs.

I captured the debug output of pacman using  sudo pacman -Syu --debug 2>&1 | tee pacmanDebug, but the file is enormous and posting it to various pastebins resulted in truncated files. But...

ewaller@odin ~ [130]1068 %grep "status: Success"  pacmanDebug| wc
    805    2415   18515
ewaller@odin ~ 1069 %

and 

ewaller@odin ~ 1072 %grep "status:"  pacmanDebug | grep -v Success
ewaller@odin ~ [1]1073 %

Before I pull the pin and force a reload of 800+ packages, I am I going to find myself in the same spot after reloading several gigs of data?

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

Without the debug output, it's really hard to know what's going on. Maybe pastebin the last quarter of it or something?

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

I see several of these:

debug: returning error 31 from alpm_db_get_pkg : could not find or read package

Silly question, but you have tried clearing the cache and redownloading, right?

EDIT: nice catch Scimmia - delete just that one first.

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

Scimmia: That seems to have done it, thanks.   I'm guessing I got that partial download because I was doing this by ssh yesterday, not using tmux, and had a network issue that caused the session to drop.
What caused you to hone in on that?
Is this a bug, or is this a PEBKAC?

Trilby:  Yeah, that was my next step.  I was trying to avoid the nuclear option.

I started by looking at the error and comparing it against the errors listed in the pacman source. This made me realize that it wasn't a checksum or signature issue, so I figured it had to be something else with the files. I remembered .part files coming up a couple of times before, so that lead me to that file.

I'll have to see if a bug's been filed about this. If it's come up enough for me to remember it, it should probably be looked at.

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

It did strike me as odd when (after Scimmia's thought) I saw this in the log:

debug: found cached pkg: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/vte3-0.42.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.part
debug: using (package - .part) size

I'm not sure there'd every be a reason why pacman should accept a .pkg.tar.xz.part file as a suitably cached package.

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

Too late now, but I should have asked you to move it instead of deleting it. Hard to tell now exactly what was in the file.

Edit: I'm wondering if this is the same as https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35789

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

It looks similar, but the messages are different.  I don't get error: failed to commit transaction (wrong or NULL argument passed)  Of course, pacman has been through a few revisions in the last year and a half

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

I just did a test, current pacman from HEAD still says (wrong or NULL argument passed). I think it's related but not identical.

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

It is the same issue.  If you look earlier in the log you will see the 'wrong or NULL argument' error.  Which error you ultimately get depends on where the broken file is in the list of packages being verified.

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman Fails to Upgrade Silently

Pacman should handle this better in the current release (or maybe git).   It downloads to a .part file so it can continue downloading if interupted.  It used to fail if the .part file in the cache was exactly the same size as final package...

And in my testing, it still does (current git HEAD).
