[pacman 3.4.0-2] rankmirrors problem

max.bra · 2010-06-22 19:53:49

hi archers,
30 mins ago, i've upgraded pacman to 3.4.0-2 version.
after that, also pacman-mirrorlist update were available. as usual, after any new mirrolist i do a rankmirrors with my preferred countries uncommented.

this is what i get:

...other commented servers and final UNSORTED servers list

all unreachable (1 timeout).

there is nothing new on my system and configs.
*.pacnew managed.
my lan and name resolving is functional (i'm writing here!!).
tried with different nsswitch host sequence but nothing.

did i lost something?
any advice?

(edit)
pacman has no problem. this is only for rankmirrors.

Seems like rankmirrors isn't expanding $repo / $arch

max.bra · 2010-06-22 22:03:26

yes, is certainly so.
but this happens to me only?

Banton · 2010-06-22 22:36:35

No here the same.

skunktrader · 2010-06-22 22:39:00

Did you merge /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew correctly?

Blind · 2010-06-22 23:01:10

same problem here
I just renamed the new pacman.conf.pacnew to pacman.conf

Allan · 2010-06-22 23:23:30

Mine "works" but everything gets output in alphabetical order... Please file a bug report.

mbrown · 2010-06-23 01:51:56

Bug filed.

trusktr · 2010-06-23 18:01:55

Me too, same problem. pacman.conf.pacnew merged correctly into pacman.conf.

el mariachi · 2010-06-23 21:47:14

my pacman.conf.pacnew had the line Architecture= auto commented, uncommenting it and changing auto to i686 solved my problem

trusktr · 2010-06-23 21:57:18

Yeah, that'd work, but it is only a workaround. The bug still has to be squashed!

Placebo. ARCH="$(uname -m)" is how rankmirror gets $arch.

trusktr · 2010-06-24 03:14:29

Interesting, the "architecture = auto" line wasn't commented in my pacnew file. i have 64bit Arch.

I'm going to change Auto to x86_64 just for rankmirrors then change it back and see if it works.

Allan · 2010-06-24 03:20:48

As andresp said... that will make no difference. rankmirrors uses "uname -m" to get the architecture.

trusktr · 2010-06-24 03:24:11

indeed, nothing happened. What can i do for a temporary fix?

trusktr · 2010-06-24 04:01:51

Oh, ok. so how does that work exactly?

Just a wild guess: i replace the appropriate lines in usr/bin/rankmirrors by removing the lines marked with "-" and adding the lines with "+" ?

kazuo · 2010-06-24 04:50:32

man patch

Cotton · 2010-08-22 08:44:06

Has this problem returned or just not gone away? - I'm getting the same as the OP yet my system is up to date.

If you have problems with your mirrors, pick some from https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

Not gone away - pacman-3.4.1 should be released soon which has the fix.
