Re: Package Corrupted - please help me

Are there any files left in /var/pacman/cache/pkg ?
If there is still a tmp file left delete it.
Else you can try to manually install this file:

wget ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/kernel26-2.6.28.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U kernel26-2.6.28.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

That one worked for me

edit:

If you change mirrors do a pacman -Syy to force pacman to re-download the pacman database.

Re: Package Corrupted - please help me

Must be some corrupted packages left behind in /var/pacman/cache/pkg or you needed to configure a mirror correctly and pacman -Syy.
And btw, pacman -Sf is not a good idea to use, only if you know for sure

You're welcome

Re: Package Corrupted - please help me

hmm i set in the mirrorlist :

Server = ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr … os/x86_64/

i deleted what was in /var/pacman/cache/pkg

and now i try to install

pacman -S xorg gnome gnome-extra

in case that work, my problem has be resolved.. and i guess the mirrors that i have.. were .. bad or something like that

Re: Package Corrupted - please help me

You better add this on top of /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, because $repo is variable and will be replaced by core, extra or community.

Server = ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

Then do a pacman -Syy and you're ready to install everything.

Re: Package Corrupted - please help me

It seems to me that you have somehow messed up the download command in /etc/pacman.conf, since apparently it's not doing what it's supposed to (also seeing that you got 5.7M/s download speed in the first post is a bit fishy).
So please check that XferCommand option is commented out in /etc/pacman.conf

Re: Package Corrupted - please help me

/etc/pacman.conf

SyncFirst = pacman
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -0 %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl %u > %o

the 5mb/s it`s ok because it was a server from my country, and the speed here is big... otherwise extern connection is maximum 500kb/s

no chance to make this package install......

any other ideeas?
