Hi, I got a list of pending upgrade, but since nvidia and xorg making troubles to me I update single packages, packages that seems that cannot harm the system. Today I tried bash, Ive been using bash-4.0.035-1-i686 and upgraded to bash-4.1.002-1, after the upgrade I got an error message:

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 
:: Retrieving packages from core...

sh: symbol lookup error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_filename_rewrite_hook

Downgrading fails as well:

yaourt -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bash-4.0.035-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
/bin/bash: symbol lookup error: /bin/bash: undefined symbol: rl_filename_rewrite_hook

Needless to say that opening new terminal fails as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[EDIT]
Seems like 4.0.035 is corrupted:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bash-4.0.035-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 
loading package data...
error: error while reading package /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bash-4.0.035-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz: Damaged tar archive
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/bash-4.0.035-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': libarchive error

Luckily downgrade to 4.0.033-1 works.

happens when you do partial updates. its broken because readline wasn't updated.

next time always use pacman -Syu
