Oct 19::problems after upgrade

yjcong · 2010-10-19 08:58:14

hi,

hours ago, i run pacman -Syu. now, after i restarted the system, there are some problems

>command "gtkpacman" gives
File "/usr/bin/gtkpacman", line 80
print "Pacman version : %s" %database.ver
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

> command "zim" gives
File "/usr/bin/zim", line 46
except zim.GetoptError, err:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

it seems those errors "come from" Python. what should i do?

thanks

> pacman -Si zim
Repository     : community
Name           : zim
Version        : 0.48-3

That version works,

thanks

but
>pacman -Ss zim
community/zim 0.48-2 [installed]

i think this means i have to wait for the new version in the mirror (germany)

The mirror should sync rather quickly so hopefully the wait will not be too long.

I'm having issues with gtkpacman as well. I believe it's due to the Python 3 update.

In the meantime you could launch it using python2 instead of python. Edit the path after the shebang.

I tried that, but it still won't launch.
