this keep going on infinitely when I do a sudo pacman -Syyu
I tried cleaning caches and updating the mirrors and archlinux-keyring. None of them worked, I dont have any haskell or related packages installed

"when I do a sudo pacman -Syyu" what most likely got you into that situation itfp
Read the pacman manpage about what the second "y" does, then stop using it unless you really. RAEALLY. mean to.

The problem isn't anything haskell, the problem is that you shredded the package database for at least the extra repo.

And post the entire pacman output.

pacman -Syuv --debug 2>&1 | tee /tmp/pacman.stuff
cat /tmp/pacman.stuff | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

The first command went on forever and never terminated.
this is the output of the second command http://0x0.st/H6VM.txt
Since nothing was working, so I tried once with yy I generally dont.
Thanks!

Not necessarily. This is an official Arch Linux mirror: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/garudalinux.org/

extra.db looks ok

zgrep -a haskell-hls-cabal-plugin /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db

In doubt, remove the file to hve it re-downloaded if some bit flipped.

Did you try to simple replace the file?
Edit: and in case that doesn't help, change the mirror - it might be corrupted there.

Xx_RiK_xX · 2024-01-04 18:27:01

replace with what?
changed the mirrors again though

seth · 2024-01-04 18:29:15

Fresh copy from the mirror - remove the file and let pacman re-download it.

Use pacman -Syyu to force it to download a new copy (one of the only times using yy makes sense).

Xx_RiK_xX · 2024-01-04 19:08:20

deleted it and ran pacman -Syy
and -Su and same error

its fixed today all of a sudden. Thanks all of you. I updated without issues

Xx_RiK_xX · 2024-01-05 05:40:41

how to mark it solved?

seth · 2024-01-05 08:05:33

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

Mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

The file you uploladed is indeed corrupt => https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/reflector/

You've manpages in your NoExtract list??
You could have grepped that away w/ "… | grep -v ', 0 altered files' | grep -v 'usr/share/man'"
