<solved> error: cannot resolve dependencies for "hal"

Hello all,

I tried doing a pacman -Syu today and recieved the following: error: cannot resolve dependencies for "hal"

Then I did a pacman -S dbus-glib and got : dbus-glib: not found in sync db

then I did pacman -S dbus and recieved the same message.

Then I did pacman -S hal and got:
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "hal":
"dbus-glib" is not in the package set

Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh man, in my fleeting moment of panic I didn't think things through and posted right away.

I commented the following lines in pacman.conf and now it works

#XferCommand = /usr/bin/aria2c -s 2 -m 2 -o %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/pacget %u %o

Not too sure why, but I am happy all is working.

I'm getting the exact same problem, only I don't have those lines in my pacman.conf file. What else could be causing this?

Re: <solved> error: cannot resolve dependencies for "hal"

I followed this wiki and it did make a difference. It is still very fast downloading packages.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Imp … erformance

I haven't had a chance to uncomment those lines again to see if it still gives me errors, but you might have luck trying what the wiki suggests.
After following the wiki, pacman tries a bunch of servers to give you the best speed possible (if I remember correctly). I hope this helps you.
