updating problems

I get this error message when I tried to install a few apps (obconf, adesklets)
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0821c340 ***
Aborted

and when I check -V I get 2.9.6, not 2.9.6-2, and now pacman won't update anything, after it updated itself I renamed pacman.conf to pacman.conf.bak, and renamed pacman.conf.pacsave or whatever to pacman.conf so not sure why it isn't working, it won't update my wesnoth Then I deleted pacman.conf.bak, that wasn't a help either So I am not sure what is wrong.

if you are having glibc issues, try using pacman.static to update.

that isn't it, it's the fact that it isn't actaully updating anything, it says that it is uptodate when I sync it. I tried pacman.static, and that didn't help it, and I don't get anymore errors from pacman.

well, then it probably is up to date.
check your pacman log to see what packages were recently installed, then reinstall them (--force).

but I know it isn't, wesnoth it .2, not .3 still, and it says it is uptodate

hmm, perhaps it may be that the servers I use aren't updated yet?

jellywerker · 2005-07-02 19:18:22

aha! yes! I checked netcap, and they don't have the updated packages yet! sorry,

well what does the version say on the wesnoth folder in /var/lib/pacman/extra ?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm too slow.
