yaourt and pacman aborts on update [SOLVED]

zerostar · 2010-03-09 02:42:01

When I try to run yaourt -Syu
I get this....

[jason@xbmc-extender1 ~]$ yaourt -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 572:  3623 Aborted                 sudo $@

sudo pacman -Syu

[jason@xbmc-extender1 ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
Aborted
[jason@xbmc-extender1 ~]$

I haven't had any problems updating this system for close to a year now.
I tried searching the forums, but I couldn't find anyone with the similar problem.
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Try

sudo pacman -Syuv

to get some more output.

What do your /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist look like? Try using "-Syy".

this happened to me too

for this: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18531
and this: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18537

new samba 3.5.0 and wins in hosts name resolution in nsswitch.conf are not so good in these days

I think that may be it max.bra
I'll try your suggestions when I get home later today.

Those links helped me fix my problem max.bra!
Instead of downgrading samba, I just removed wins from my /etc/nsswitch.conf and all is good.
This also helped me fix a problem that I developed around the same time on my desktop system.
Firefox started to crash constantly. Sometimes just by mearly lauching it. I removed the wins line and now
it works great too. (The pacman aborting problem was on my xbmc extender that doesn't have a web browser)

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me resolve this issue. :D:D
Time to mark this puppy solved!
