[Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade
Hi
I was updating my archlinux when my X11 crashed (I was restarting it after tweaking my gnome 3) .
Trying to update after that indicated that my system was already uptodate. Installing anything indicated that pacman was running else to delete a file /var/lib/pacman/db.lck , which I did.
Now I can install but get these errors (for an example of re-installing pacman):
pacman -S pacman
warning: pacman-3.5.4-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/xulrunner-6.0-1/desc: No such file or directory
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/xulrunner-6.0-1/desc: No such file or directory
Targets (1): pacman-3.5.4-3
Total Download Size: 0.00 MB
Total Installed Size: 2.87 MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

ldconfig: file /usr/lib/xulrunner-6.0/libxul.so is truncated
Can any one help me? I am clueless. I know I made a mistake ... will be careful next time. Also I am sure that my system is not upto date, though pacman indicates it is.

Reinstall xulrunner, then do pacman -Syu.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade
I am getting the following error
pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 35.6K 990.8K/s 00:00:00 [######################] 100%
error: extra.db appears to be truncated: 485471/485689 bytes--------------] 3%
error: failed to update extra (failed to retrieve some files)
multilib 26.5K 397.3K/s 00:00:00 [######################] 100%
I ran this
rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db.part
But does not seem to help..... !!! I cant afford to loos my arch!!! I hope this is not irrecoverable
I can however re-install pacman without the previous mentioned errors!

Re: [Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade
"pacman -Syy" should fix that.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade
No luck mate!
I get the following
pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 35.6K 1413.9K/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################] 100%
warning: resuming download of extra.db not possible; starting over
error: extra.db appears to be truncated: 485471/485689 bytes 176.0K 289.1K/s 00:00:01 [####################-----------------------------------] 37%
error: failed to update extra (failed to retrieve some files)
multilib 26.5K 204.0M/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################] 100%
I tried copying the extra.db file directly from my repo to the folder. But get the same error!

Have you tried a different mirror?

Re: [Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade
Well ... for some reason the Australian mirrors were giving the same problem ... I tried a German one and it worked! Thanks mate!
