How do I change to another mirror?

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

edit whichever repo it's coming from (current) in /etc/pacman.d/

move one of the lower servers to the top (pacman uses the first one it connects to, i think)... so you can just move the top one down a few... or use sortmirrors.pl.... check the docs for that one

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

Cannot find the named pacman.d/ in /etc

Is it correct?

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

I beg your pardon...I was looking for a file rather than a directory..Now I see my error.

Thanks for the info!!!

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

Pacman -Syu with new selected mirror gives the following:

root@n6re ~]# pacman -Syu
error: unable to lock pacman database.
       if you're sure pacman is not already running, you
       can remove /tmp/pacman.lck
[root@n6re ~]#

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

as a side note: installing the new Glibc froze my system (at least it looked like it was frozen) - exactly at the "installing..." part. A restart made the system unusable (kernel didn't load, missing library - obviously). Fixed it by manually installing bits and pieces of the glibc unarchived package. Afterwards, installing the new package over the old one worked flawlessly.

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

maybe clearing the cache could help,

# pacman -Scc

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

You appear to be missing the section heading [current] .  The file should begin:

#
# CURRENT: Arch Linux core repository
#
[current]
Server =

I am also not sure why there are square brackets around your second listed server and I would remove those.

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

You are still missing the line [current]  - see the quote in my previous message.
Also your first 2 servers are now identical so you can delete one of them altogether.

Re: Glibc reported as corrupted on -Syu (Solved in part!)

the square brackets around a server will mess it up

pacman.conf should have this

[current]
Include = /etc/pcaman.d/current

and /etc/pacman.d/current should look similar to this
(this is mine, slightly edited)

#
