[solved] yaourt messed up pacman - "pacman: command not found"

capoeira · 2010-10-15 11:45:52

Hi,

i got some "xxxxxx not found on AUR" messages after doing a "yaourt -Syu --aur" so I began to remove them with "yaourt -Rs xxxxxxx".
When there was only one left "aqpm2" this is what happened:

[studio@myhost ~]$ yaourt -Rs aqpm2
verificando dependências...
Remover (2): aqpm2-20100615-2 qjson-0.7.1-2
Tamanho total dos pacotes a serem removidos: 2,93 MB

/usr/lib/yaourt/basicfunctions.sh: line 10: pacman: comando não encontrado

now pacman is broken:

[studio@myhost ~]$ pacman
bash: pacman: comando não encontrado
[studio@myhost ~]$ yaourt -Syu --aur
/usr/lib/yaourt/basicfunctions.sh: line 10: pacman: comando não encontrado

please help

can't undestand why pacman was excluded.

is there a way to undo a uninstall?

You can download the pacman package and uncompress it. It's just a regular "tar.xz" file. ("tar xvJf filename.tar.xz") Then, copy the pacman files to where they need to go.

I think that's a good way to install pacman without pacman...

By the way, is pacman really missing? Do you have "/usr/bin/pacman"? Maybe only yaourt is broken...

yes it's gone.....i posted in first post, too that i allready tried pacman without yaourt, too

i think i will solve this like stated in post #16 here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 81#p712481 as it seams easier than copy everything by hand

BUT i really would like to understand what happened

you could also compile it from source. that's rather fast then copying every single part to its right place. do you still have an entry for 'which pacman'?

[studio@myhost ~]$ which pacman
which: no pacman in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/bin:/opt/qt/bin:/opt/torcs/bin)
[studio@myhost ~]$

can I use pacman-static from this repro?
I'm afraid to break system even more

OK, that gave me a segfault, so

I downloaded the package and copied the folders to root.
no pacman works but gaves me this errors afterwards:

pacman-3.4.1-1: description file is missing
pacman-3.4.1-1: dependency file is missing
pacman-3.4.1-1: file list is missing

how do I solve this?

BTW: should I make a bug-report??

EDIT: any package I try to instal I get this error:

erro: não foi possível abrir o arquivo /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-3.4.1-1/depends: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado

(it's in portuguese but i think its understandable)

ok, I downloaded the pacman-package and copied the folders: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/pacman/

/var/lib/pacman/ is empty in the package-folder - so this is the problem.

how do I get those entries???

EDIT: there is an install script in the package but i don't get how to install it...would this solve this???

installed pacman from source, but the problem remains

wonder · 2010-10-16 09:55:06

get pacman package from a mirror, change directory to / and extract it in there. then pacman -Sf pacman

pacman -Sf pacman
