By the way, it works fine when I explicitly mention packages on the command line (e.g. $ pacaur -Sa mkinitcpio-{utils,netconf,dropbear}
).
Could it have something to do with 77bfd65?
The [package name]:
pattern is typical of cower output when it actually can't reach the network for some reason (network down, DNS not well configured, ISP latency, cower using too many threads at a time, ..).
Unless you can consistently reproduce the issue, I doubt there is anything to fix in the code (apart from the well known fact that pacaur needs a better way to handle errors, similarly to issue #267).
Today I learned, thanks!
I do have issues with IPv6 failure at my ISP, and another difference between the two boxes is that the i686 one uses netctl
while the x64 one NetworkManager.
I'll see with how it goes in the next days, thanks.
As a starting point, have a look at Troubleshooting too. Configuring the DNS server properly (if not done yet) usually fixes this issue.
Closing now.
Thanks a lot for the tip but, after testing with other nameservers the problem went away!
I used drill
to check which server was answering to my requests and noticed it was my gateway/router/modem, which is a rather poor machine...
Cheers
Glad you fixed the issue!
Thanks!
By the way, the relevant Troubleshooting section "Configure your DNS server" link is broken: I advise to switch it to resolv.conf which details several options to change nameservers.
(Note: the former "DNS optimization" section you linked to is available here, and I started a discussion with the admin who removed it to see where I should put it back.)
:-)
I'll have a look at the discussion outcome, thx for the follow up!
Hi there,
I'm hitting a weird bug where pacaur fails to update all AUR packages altogether (
pacaur -Sau
) because it's looking for the incorrect names, following the pattern[pkgname]:
(see logs below).What is weird is that it only happens on a i686 machine: I can't reproduce the error on another similar x86-64 machine. The only difference between them apart architecture are makepkg
CARCH
/CHOST
compiler flags.What is even weirder is that the same command worked once after recompiling
pacaur
with the latest settings, but then failed when I used the debug command.Here go the logs:
I did a diff of the two outputs with meld and I don't understand why there are certain lines in a different order or not present at all in each.
Let me know if you need more info, Thanks
