yaourt: pacman frontend

samuele.mattiuzzo · 2010-06-23 14:07:16

nope, i downloaded it from the website anyway, i reinstalled it and it works

madek · 2010-06-23 22:25:53

recompile and install package-query and yaourt, and works fine

amenditman · 2010-07-10 21:12:28

I installed mine from AUR and reinstalling does not fix it. I still get /usr/bin/pacman: unrecognized option '--print-uris'

Does installing from site or the 'Easy' method make a difference to a solution to this problem?

tuxce · 2010-07-11 21:30:16

There is no call to pacman with --print-uris in actual version of yaourt.

Maybe you installed a fork version like yaourt-abs ?

amenditman · 2010-07-11 23:06:58

Nope.

I installed by following the Yaourt instructions for 'From the AUR' here
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt#Using_yaourt

I finally solved my problems by manually deleting all downloaded versions of both package-query.tar.gz and yaourt.tar.gz and doing an install from scratch.

today I tried to instal usb-creator. I am using KDE and the software has a lot of gnome-depencies. As I only wanted to make a bootable-rescue-USB i thoght i would instal it and than make a simple yaourt -Rs usb-creator. But the install fails and i stayed with a lot of dependencies. Would be nice if in this case yaourt would give the option to uninstall those packages if main-package instal fails.

And yaourt -Qdt shows me dependencies not needed anymore but only gives the option to remove them with -Rcs wich would remove other packages wich i don't want to remove...Why is there no -Rs option?

any way to update including checking if aur-packages exists wich are more up to date as repro-packages?

pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qdt)

tuxce · 2010-09-16 12:24:17

-Qdt shows unrequired packages, so -c is harmless here.

in my case it tries to remove kde-meta-kdebase, so when doing -Rcs it will uninstall KDE-packages with it

==> Downloading catalyst PKGBUILD from AUR...
==> ERROR: catalyst not found in AUR.
I am getting this error for every package. is there any reason for that?

tuxce · 2010-11-16 10:30:09

Can you try:

curl https://aur.archlinux.org//packages/catalyst/catalyst.tar.gz -o catalyst.tar.gz

if it works, run:

bash -x yaourt -S catalyst |& tee yaourt.log

and pastebin the yaourt.log.

Wow I am amazed by the speed increase of package-query-0.5. I just looked at the git comments. Is this the effect of the threading?

I'm really amazed at latest yaourt speed too

I am using yaourt for a long time but from a few days I am getting this "pthread error":

[root@xyz~]# yaourt -Syu --aur
:: Synchronizowanie baz danych z pakietami...
 core jest już w najnowszej wersji
 extra jest już w najnowszej wersji
 community jest już w najnowszej wersji
pthread error 11

[root@xyz~]#

Any idea?

zebulon · 2010-12-02 15:59:17

I cannot speak for tuxce, but this is certainly related to the new threading code that was introduced in package-query 0.5. What is your version of package-query? If it is 0.5, you should upgrade to 0.5.1 (using makepkg and pacman -U to install) because it corrects a threading bug.

em · 2010-12-02 16:32:00

Strange, because:

[root@xyz~]# yaourt -Qs package-query
local/package-query 0.5.1-1
    Query ALPM and AUR

I also reinstalled package-query just in case but without result.

[2010-12-02 17:26] upgraded package-query (0.5.1-1 -> 0.5.1-1)

em, did you set a limit for the number of processes ?
how much foreign packages do you have ?

Yes, but it has not been reached - 512.

tuxce · 2010-12-02 21:26:00

Perhaps the number of processes + threads exceeded 512? (ps -eL | wc -l)
I'll modify the code to wait instead of exit when the limit is reached.

em · 2010-12-02 21:37:06

I tried with unlimited and same error:

[root@xyz~]# ulimit -u unlimited
[root@xyz~]# ulimit -u
unlimited
[root@xyz~]# yaourt -Syu --aur

tuxce · 2010-12-04 18:21:01

can you try package-query-git ?

em · 2010-12-04 20:15:15

Yes, I think my problem is solved, git version gave me useful info:

[root@xyz ~]# yaourt -Syu --aur
:: Synchronizowanie baz danych z pakietami...
 core jest już w najnowszej wersji
 extra jest już w najnowszej wersji

curl error: Out of memory

/usr/lib/yaourt/basicfunctions.sh: line 12: 19757 Naruszenie ochrony pamięci   package-query "${PKGQUERY_C_ARG[@]}" "$@"   <--- segfault

So I checked my limits again:

virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) 1024000

and raised it a bit.

I thought that 1024000 kbytes should be enough but looks like package-query has really huge appetite for memory. There is no way to optimize this?

falconindy · 2010-12-05 16:05:19

The proper solution here is to create a simple thread pool and let the threads control the data, not let the data control the threads.

tuxce · 2010-12-06 17:41:03

At first I did not understand what you've meant, but reading cower's code, actually, it's a good solution, thank you.

(Implement https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17583 would be better )
