pacman -Syu warns on coreutils

johnnymac · 2009-03-15 02:26:57

Here's what I get:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: coreutils: local (7.1-2) is newer than core (6.12-1)
 local database is up to date

Is there something horked up? Should I do a pacman -S coreutils?? When I do that it warns of othe downgrade from 7.1-2 to 6.12-1

Sorry - quite new with all the in's and out's of arch...

Thanks in advance...

Yet you have decided to use the [testing] repo...

This package moved from [testing] to [core]. Your mirror has synced [testing] but not [core] so you get the message. It will disappear in a day.

Actually I have not...here's my pacman.conf file

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst   = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl %u > %o
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options (all disabled by default)
#NoPassiveFtp
#UseSyslog
#ShowSize
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# Testing is disabled by default.  To enable, uncomment the following
# two lines.  You can add preferred servers immediately after the header,
# and they will be used before the default mirrors.
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

Which is why I'm confused....

EDIT: I'm not crazy enough to enable testing...this is my development system my life, my code....lives on this thing

Why have you enabled community twice?

Allan · 2009-03-15 03:49:13

Did you change mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist then? Perhaps the one you changed to is less up to date.

Sorry - it seemed that community was enabled twice because it was an accidental post of that section twice - not enabled twice for real...

Additionally, I re-enabled Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/i686 and the problem went away.

So question: Should I always keep the archlinux one enabled and have a few others enabled too in-case the archlinux one fails??

nope, just use whatever mirror you use sometimes they get out of sync but the problem gets away fast.
