[Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

During last system upgrade ( pacman -Syu )，when upgrading filesystem-2011.08-1,
the system hang for a while,  then pacman exit with some segfault error

I tried to fix it by typing ` pacman -Syu ` again, then got another error when upgrading linux-3.0.2-1

ERROR: file not found: `/etc/modprobe.d/usb-load-ehci-first.conf'

and filesystem is not in the upgrade package list, so I tried 

sudo pacman -S filesystem

but I got some file confilct error

after search the forum, I found a post last year
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=833711

I only have the file " install " in /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.08-1/

ls -l /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.08-1/
total 4.0K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6K Aug 10 07:41 install

I checked another machine which also installed Arch Linux,
it's package number is filesystem-2011.04-1

ls -l /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.04-1/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  287 Jul 23 12:49 desc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1804 Jul 23 12:23 files
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1623 Apr  8 18:08 install

Should I just copy the " desc " and " files " to my computer, then run `pacman -Syu` again
or
Upgrade that machine's filesystem to 2011.08-1, then copy the files to my computer to fix it ?
( I am afraid of upgrade error again)

Thank you

Re: [Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

You could try 'pacman -Sf filesystem'.


Edit: Using '--force' option could make things even worse, sorry about that.

Re: [Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

Karol, thank you for reply

but in that old post ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 09#p833409 )

Allan suggested not to force install filesystem

manually create files under /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-20xx.xx-x  instead

but I am not sure this will work or not

because it has been a year passed since that post...

Re: [Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

Allan's correct. force installation is a poor idea here. You can write only the DB entries with --dbonly:

pacman -S filesystem --dbonly

This will write the entries under /var/lib/pacman/local without writing anything else to the filesystem.

Re: [Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

I've no idea why I wrote 'initscripts' in my previous post. That clearly should have been 'filesystem'.

Re: [Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

@falconindy
Tried 

sudo pacman -S filesystem --dbonly

didn't fix it, still got

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.08-1/desc: No such file or directory

and /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.08-1/ only have " install " inside

but I found the " install, desc, files " between the other two machines are identical ( filesystem-2011.04-1 )
only the %INSTALLDATE% in " desc " is different

If I update one of the machine's filesystem to 2011.08-1,
copy the " files, desc " to my computer
then reinstall filesystem
Would that fix it ?

Anyone have problem upgrading to filesystem-2011.08-1
I am afraid of upgrading fail again hmm

Re: [Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

I just upgraded filesystem to 2011.08-1 on my VM
then copyed the " desc, files " under /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.08-1/
to my computer, and reinstall filesystem and kernel

$ sudo pacman -S filesystem --dbonly
$ sudo pacman -S filesystem 

Running 'pacman -S filesystem'

upgraded filesystem (2011.08-1 -> 2011.08-1)

$ sudo pacman -S linux

after edited /etc/fstab,  reboot the computer


During booting I got some filesystem error warning
system automaticlly checked and fixed those errors on root partition and reboot again

Then I can boot into X now

in  /var/log/error.log  I found something similar to previous booting error

after searching on the web, I found that maybe an old harmless problem related to kernel ?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=293179

also found an error in  /var/log/daemon.log

Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.Avahi': timed out

there is already a post about it, but not having a conclusion yet
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124485


Every things seen to work fine now

After few more test and reboot, I would mark this post [solved]

Thanks to everyone for replying m(_ _)m


P.S.
There is still a problem when using virtualbox 4.1.2-1 after reboot, but I think that may not related to this post
If I try to upgrade kernel of the VM to 3.0.2-1  ( currently 3.0.1-1 ), will cause VirtualBox and my computer crash
generating some assert error, produce segfault when I tried to type any command in shell
unable to launch any program in X, but if I switch to tty*, I only got

INIT:Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

So I have to push the reset button to force reboot
after restore VM to previous snapshot, not having any problem so far

Re: [Solved] latest filesystem upgrade failed

Those look like filesystem errors to me... You should run fsck and backup your data asap.
