Segmentation fault while trying to update

Jst4Ne · 2024-03-07 17:25:58

Also revisiting this topic because of the above mentioned problems reoccurring.
I've seen the commit and tried updating the pacman first, so that it maybe wouldn't crash when doing a full update, but the pacman version (pacman-6.0.2-9) in the repository is out of date (and marked as such)... I guess I could maybe compile it myself, but sadly I don't have the time for that these days. Maybe another one can try if the pacman version in the repo gets updated in time.

I haven't updated pacman or localisation for it just yet. But I'm a bit closer to figuring out why it's happening. As it just happened again.
It's something to do with optional choices. First I thought it was just about confirming if you want to replace one package with another; the Slovene translation uses "s/z" instead of with and the slash made me suspicious if it might somehow affect the seg fault.
But at current update, instead of replace with I just had straight-up multiple choice for one package, and it still failed. So I think there's something to do with that.
I'll try to look into localisation docs to see what could be the culprit. And I might try to recompile pacman with updated localisation.
But in the mean time others can at least try to pinpoint the bug easier. (hopefully)

Do you not get a https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump ?
Along https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debuginfod you should see the precise location where this fails and then we can look at the relevant code for involved strings.

No point figuring it out... It was a bad translation string for the provider selection dialog. It was fixed by the pacman team ages ago. pacman-6.1.0 (in [testing]) is fixed.

It's caused by "XferCommand" line enabled in pacman.conf. Somehow there's a permissions issue with using wget or curl. "#" the line out and try again.

This here is about the slovenian translation and rather not https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293911
