[SOLVED]packer can't find python-xapian

sanderd17 · 2011-09-23 17:23:22

Hi,

Today I wanted to upgrade.

I use the AUR helper packer to update AUR packages, and I got this:

[sander@arch ~]$ packer -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 repo-ck is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Synchronizing aur database...
 aur                                        78  78 [##########################] 100%
:: Starting full aur upgrade...

Aur Targets    (3): python-xapian python-geoclue zeitgeist-extensions

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/usr/bin/packer: line 271: cd: python-xapian: No such file or directory
No PKGBUILD found in directory.

I don't have python-xapian installed. A "pacman -Q python-xapian" couldn't find anything. And when I do a search for python-xapian in the /var/log/pacman.log, I get no results at all.

I don't know how or why packer thinks I have python-xapian installed, and I don't know why he wants to upgrade it.

If anyone can make packer forget about python-xapian (since I never installed it anyway) so that I can update other programs, it would be very helpful.

There's no python-xapian package neither in the official repos, nor in the AUR, try python2-xapian https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41961
python-geoclue is nowhere to be found either.

It may be a bug in the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45671 AUR package. Already posted a comment there.

I added that line, and now I get the same error (but only on line 272 instead of 271).

I also can't find any package called python-xapian. So I don't know what package possibly is incorrectly packaged.

There is also a python2-geoclue

And the previous response was to your post before you edited it. But I guess you figured out it doesn't work as well.

Sorry about the edit ;P

The package zeitgeist-extensions https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45671 should be fixed, please try installing it again.

I removed the zeitgeist-extensions, and now I'm able to install them again.

Thanks for helping.
