Yes but, if you have to ask about it and dont have a good reason, might as well treat it like it cannot. Good general advice, unless you have more specific requirements, eg pulling some packages from testing onto an otherwise stable system. Doing a full system update there just to get an editor is … not terribly useful. This is why partial updates are unsupported. Update, even in a live system, everything or nothing. Yes just wait until finished and mark the ones you want to keep.
I guess we could have used something like sudo pacman-mirrors -ic Chile Brazil BTW unless you changed it.. FF uses its own DNS so its not exactly a true comparison. Lets choose a mirror..
I dont speak portugese.. And it looks like you can ping the chileno mirror.. Well, it's done. I'm selecting the Brazilian and Chilean mirrors but I see that some dutch and American mirrors rank higher on response time. Should I select them as well, or leave the Latin American mirrors by now? Are you from Latin America as well? Though drinking yerba mate right now The selection is up to you Ok, well by now I'll select the local mirrors then.
It's done, should I run sudo pacman -Syyu again? Uruguay and Chile are the two countries I want to visit the most here at Latin America. And Cavani is my favorite player. Don't interrupt it unless you truly have to, that is what is causing your database to become locked.
In the case that pacman crashes with a "database write" error while removing packages, and reinstalling or upgrading packages fails thereafter, do the following:. This will cause the update to fail. Use the CacheDir option or a bind mount instead; see Package cache directory. This can also come in handy when a partial upgrade was performed and pacman can not run anymore.
The pinned comment and the PKGBUILD provides a way to directly download the binary, which can be used to reinstall pacman or to upgrade the entire system in case of partial upgrades.
If even pacman-static does not work, it is possible to recover using an external pacman. One of the easiest methods to do so is by using the archiso and simply using --sysroot or --root to specify the mount point. See Chroot Using chroot on how to mount the necessary filesystems required by --sysroot.
Even if pacman is terribly broken, you can fix it manually by downloading the latest packages and extracting them to the correct locations. The rough steps to perform are:. But you may only need to update a few of them depending on your issue. An example of extracting a package is. Note the use of the w flag for interactive mode. Running non-interactively is very risky since you might end up overwriting an important file.
Also take care to extract packages in the correct order i. This forum post contains an example of this process where only a couple pacman dependencies are broken. Most likely the initramfs became corrupted during a kernel update improper use of pacman' s --overwrite option can be a cause.
There are two options; first, try the Fallback entry. Once the system starts, run this command for the stock linux kernel either from the console or from a terminal to rebuild the initramfs image:. Then chroot using arch-chroot :. Reinstalling the kernel the linux package will automatically re-generate the initramfs image with mkinitcpio -p linux.
There is no need to do this separately. As the error message says, your locale is not correctly configured. See Locale. If you use pacman with sudo , you need to configure sudo to pass these environment variables to pacman. You will then need to reinstall all the foreign packages, which can be listed with pacman -Qmq. It looks like previous pacman transaction removed or corrupted shared libraries needed for pacman itself.
To recover from this situation you need to unpack required libraries to your filesystem manually. Unpack required shared library to the filesystem. This will allow to run pacman. Now you need to reinstall the broken package. Note that you need to use --overwrite flag as you just unpacked system files and pacman does not know about it.
Pacman will correctly replace our shared library file with one from package. If you receive this error message with correct mirrors , try setting a different name server. If you want to install a package on an sshfs mount using pacman -U and receive this error, move the package to a local directory and try to install again. Upon executing, e. This is frequently caused by the chroot directory not being a mountpoint when the chroot is entered.
See the note at Install Arch Linux from existing Linux Downloading basic tools for a solution, and arch-chroot 8 for an explanation and an example of using bind mounting to make the chroot directory a mountpoint. Namespaces Page Discussion.
Views Read View source View history. Tip: The pacman package contains tools such as makepkg and vercmp 8. Other useful tools such as pactree and checkupdates are found in pacman-contrib formerly part of pacman. Tip: For those who have used other Linux distributions before, there is a helpful Pacman Rosetta article. Note: Packages often have optional dependencies which are packages that provide additional functionality to the application but not strictly required for running it.
When installing a package, pacman will list a package's optional dependencies, but they will not be found in pacman. Use the Querying package databases command to view the optional dependencies of a package. When installing a package which you require only as a optional dependency of some other package i. For details, see the Installation reason section.
Warning: When installing packages in Arch, avoid refreshing the package list without upgrading the system for example, when a package is no longer found in the official repositories. Have a question about this project?

When custom repo database not synced with pacman -Sy apacman refuses to build pkg from AUR allthough all dependencies satisfied by repos availible. To fix for sure I can just do pacman -Sy but what if that custom repo disappears then a novice user could probably not fix the problem by commenting out in pacman.
