I have included extracts from relevant files and outputs. It all looks good to me and am puzzled as to what is wrong. I read the wiki but nothing springs out as a solution.

 

What am I missing folks ?

 

Thanks in advance for help etc.

 

:hmm:

If your low on diskspace, more than likely your pacman cache is full. If you want remove every package except for the last version, run this command:

# pacman -Sc

I remember that issue from my time running Arch. It happened occasionally. I usually solved it by downloading new mirrors and running rankmirrors again.

Hm. I've been trying to run pacman -Sc once a month -- at the beginning of each month, so I'll remember to do it. Maybe that's often enough to avoid this problem, but I guess I'll find out eventually.
