Error "can't create download package list" #282

Closed sinayion closed 9 years ago

sinayion commented 9 years ago

Cnchi version: 0.8.7-1 Iso: antergos-2015.04.12-x86_64 Region/locale: en-US

After the step with user details, I get the error: "can't create download package list". All optional checkboxes were selected (AUR, Firefox, etc.)

The log shows the following pac errors a few times:

"returning error 6 from alpm_db_get_pkg: wrong or NULL argument passed"
"returning error 6 from alpm_db_get_group: wrong or NULL argument passed"

Also:

"ERROR: Can't find these packages: "
An error about creating a metalink for a package named " " (blank space)

@sinayion , thanks for reporting. What DE did you choose? It looks like some package is missing. Maybe you got unlucky and you where using a non updated mirror If you still have the log, copy it to a gist or pastebin and reference it here please.

KDE4 I just noticed that if I install with only Bluetooth Support & Printing Support checked (the defaults), it works. Going to narrow it down to the offending group in a bit.

sinayion commented 9 years ago

Argh, I need to head to bed. But it looks like it's one of:

Libreoffice
Firefox
Extra truetype fonts

karasu commented 9 years ago

Don't worry @sinayion , narrowing to that is going to be very useful, thanks.

I have the same problem. I chose all packages except simple firewall. Cinnamon as desktop.

cnchi-dev log here: http://pastebin.com/bhZDbqgx

jasuka commented 9 years ago

Did some testing and enabling LibreOffice causes the problem for me.

karasu commented 9 years ago

Thanks. We'll look into it asap.

roadev commented 9 years ago

Then, for KDE4 only the defaults? (only Bluetooth Support & Printing Support checked)

karasu commented 9 years ago

Hi,

A wrong packages.xml file was being used by the installer. It should be ok now. I'll wait for your confirmation before closing this issue.

karasu commented 9 years ago

Oh, and this is, in fact, a duplicate of issue #283

JRussell commented 9 years ago

I'm trying to install on a T450S right now and I'm having this issue.

karasu commented 9 years ago

Did you choose libreoffice? It's broken atm.

JRussell commented 9 years ago

I did, but I took your comment of "It should be ok now." as it being fixed. :) I guess not.

karasu commented 9 years ago

I'm afraid it is not...

Just for anyone still facing this, this is now happening for the Flash plugin. I checked the log and unchecked the package on my subsequent try and it's working now.

fixed by https://github.com/Antergos/Cnchi/commit/ce521832dfd137843f0b0bdd4f80c38070c69102

vorobeij commented 7 years ago

I've faced up with the same problem when chose all packages. Then chose only Kernel, Printing Support, AUR, Chromium and Fonts.
It's working now

saterHATER commented 7 years ago

Broken in 0.14.72 Desktop: Gnome Packages: none

This is potentially just network restrictions in my case.

Saving one's settings for repeat attempts would be appreciated.
