Re: [solved] pacman not working anymore

I'm guessing that's just the verbage for "pacman -Su" when you are upgrading the system packages.

Re: [solved] pacman not working anymore

Does it work properly now?

Those are the directories where $server.db.tar.gz's get unpacked - they contain information about packages available in the repositories.
