Re: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

Try pacman -Syu. Then remove /var/cache/pacman/pkg/netbeans-6.9.1-1-any.pkg.tar.xz (and any offeder files) and retry. If that did not works try with another mirror (an up to date mirror).

P.S. It would be better if you

export LC_ALL=C
export LANG=C

before running pacman, so that the errors messages appears in English and everybody in these forums (including me) can understand.

Do not hurry, wait a bit (an hour or more). There are might be some problems on the server. After waiting try pacman -Syu. If you still have the problem, repeat deleting the updating files, as you have done already, and issue pacman -Syy, after that try updating.

Re: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

Hmm, I'm getting this problem too.  Every package I've tried will give me this error.  I've tried 'pacman -Syy' then removing all packages in the cache and switching servers.  Any ideas?  I'm kinda a bit confused here.

Re: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

If that's the only package failing, and you really need it.. try downloading it directly from somewhere else, and then doing pacman -U package.

Here for example: http://schlunix.org/archlinux/community … pkg.tar.xz

Might be a problem with the update server.

Re: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

Waited a day, deleted packages did -Syy and tried -Su.  Went through the process again and tried to add just one package with no luck.  Requested bug to be reopened though I might have to start a new task there.  The similar bug is:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21498

Tried upgrading (-U) and one package installed fine, the next gave me this error:

error: 'linux-atm-2.5.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz': cannot open package file

Re: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

Well the problem looks to be pacman related somehow.  I tried to install pacman-git but obviously some dependencies are needed:

Targets (6): perl-error-0.17016-1  git-1.7.3.2-1  libxslt-1.1.26-2
             docbook-xml-4.5-4  docbook-xsl-1.76.0-3  asciidoc-8.6.2-2

I tried to wget the packages and install with pacman:

wget http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/archlinux/extra/os/i686/perl-error-0.17016-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
wget http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/archlinux/extra/os/i686/git-1.7.3.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
wget http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/archlinux/extra/os/i686/libxslt-1.1.26-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
wget http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/archlinux/extra/os/i686/docbook-xml-4.5-4-any.pkg.tar.xz
wget http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/archlinux/extra/os/i686/docbook-xsl-1.76.0-3-any.pkg.tar.xz
wget http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/archlinux/community/os/i686/asciidoc-8.6.2-2-any.pkg.tar.xz

I tried to pacman -U the packages and only perl-error was able to install.

Re: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

I had a similar problem, and just resolve that by upgrading libarchive.
Perhaps you can try that.

Re: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

bountykiller, I'm not sure just how you figured that out but reinstalling libarchive did the trick.  Thank you.
