Pacman stops under upgrade !
Hi guys.
After an installation on my desktop at home, I got a funny problem. My network is working fine, but when I'm upgrading with pacman - it sometimes stop at 99% ? Then I have to stop the upgrade byu pressing CTRL+C , and then run the upgrade again - then pacman is starting on 99% and then finish the upgrade ???
What could corse that. On everything else the network works just fine ?????
Just getting better .... All the time

Re: Pacman stops under upgrade !
Sounds strange. Maybe there's something wrong with the built in file retrieval mechanism.
Take a look /etc/pacman.conf and edit it to make pacman use wget to retrieve files. Hopefully that fixes it.

On my desk I have a workstation.

Re: Pacman stops under upgrade !
one good thing abt pacman is if the power fails and we were at 98%, it continues where we left

It happened the same as I install openoffice: 98% and stopped. Than ctlc-c and run pacman again and it works.

Re: Pacman stops under upgrade !
Does it freeze while downloading?
Have you already tried to use snarf instead of wget? Info is in the wiki
