"pax format cannot archive sockets" errors whenn running mkinitcpio #22

Closed casswarry0 closed 4 years ago

casswarry0 commented 4 years ago

When running mkinitcpio 3 errors of type "pax format cannot archive sockets" show up when creating the gzip-compressed initcpio image. Solution: add "pkill -f gpg-agent -U 0" near the end of scencrypt-install to kill the instance of gpg-agent which opens the sockets which cause the error when creating the gzip-compressed initcpio image.

I know I've seen this on my laptop in the past, but it appears to be resolved in the latest master. I don't see an explicit removal of the socket. Going to close it out, feel free to reopen if you observe this again.
