Re: [arch-general] pacman upgrade confusion

2016-04-04 Thread Ralf Mardorf
Are all mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist still up-to-date?
Assumed the installed version of the package pacman-mirrorlist should be
up-to-date, check if the mirrors are still available
by /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew.

Since your official _un_supported tool yaourt failed, you at least need
to run, pacman -Syu and not just pacman -S, even if the mirror list
still should be ok.


[arch-general] pacman upgrade confusion

2016-04-04 Thread message

Readers,

An announcement
(https://www.archlinux.org/news/required-update-to-pacman-501-before-2016-04-23/)
states that users must upgrade to pacman501.

pacman -S pacman
warning: pacman-5.0.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) pacman-5.0.0-1

Firstly, I tried:

yaourt -Syua
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.9:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then:

pacman -S pacman
warning: pacman-5.0.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) pacman-5.0.0-1
pacman --version

What am I doing wrong, to prevent update to pacman501?

You should run `pacman -Syu' to fully upgrade you system.
