Hi,
since a few days, i've got some problems with pacman.
For example, i try to install 'filezilla' and i've got these messages :
Erreur: échec de récupération du fichier 'libsm-1.1.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' depuis ftp.free.fr : Service not available, closing control connection
I've try to change the mirror used by pacman, but nothing has changed.
In fact, i'm not sure, but it seems that these problems have appeared since i upgraded pacman to new version 3.4
Thanks for your help.

Did you do 'pacman -Syy' or you reflector to pick mirrors?
In the meantime you can download packages by hand
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libsm/
Click 'Download From Mirror' et voilà.
Speaking of 'voilà': please use 'export LC_MESSAGES="C"' before posting so that error messages are printed out in English.

Firstly, thank you i used 'export' since now to have messages in english.
So the error message is :
error: failed retrieving file 'gtkhtml-3.30.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from ftp.free.fr : Service not available, closing control connection
Secondly, i tried pacman -Syy before used pacman -Syu filezilla, but nothing changed.
My mirrorlist is :

Did you merge /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew correctly?
Did you merge /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew correctly?
I believe there have been some syntax changes

Hi,
well, i 've not used the new conf file from pacman. Now it's done.
But, in the new mirrorlist, i have to make some changes because the variable $arch does not exist on my system (and i don't know why)

Can you pick another mirror - not ftp.free.fr?
I suggest using reflector to pick the best mirrors so you're not stuck when the ones you handpicked are somehow down.
Edit:
This may be a good time to deal w/ any .pacnew / .pacsave files you have in your system.

Hi,
i think maybe i have another problems than those with pacman.
Because, i checked my mirror list, and i 've 3 mirrors in use (3 in france of course).
And add to this, i always try to install filezilla, after many tries i've downloaded all necessary packages but, when installation begins i've got these errors:
[...]
wxgtk: /usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/wxstd.mo exists in filesystem
libidn: /usr/bin/idn exists in filesystem
libidn: /usr/include/idn-free.h exists in filesystem
libidn: /usr/include/idn-int.h exists in filesystem
[...]

I can't use reflector because when i tried to install reflector i've got the same problems.

Do you also get those problems when downloading manually?

The installation errors mean there's a conflict and pacman needs your help to resolve it. It seems you already have libidn (or parts of it) in your system but pacman doesn't know it - how did it get there? Did you manually copy the files?
Did you check all the .pacnew files? They are there for a reason.

Hi,
I don't know why but in a little light of genius i checked my mounted partitions and i didn't see the pacmandb partition.
So i tried to unmount the partition (to remount it) buthi can't because it haven't been mounted.
I tried to start the service and i saw that i had to check the filesystem pacmandb. i did. And pacman restart correctly.
But, i still don't know why, pacman think that lvm was installed or it not in the installed package list. So i remove all files in command, and reinstall it by pacman.
Until now it works. But i don't how i break my system on this.
Thank you Karol for your advices.
