If you are getting the following message when trying to update:

Quote

:: Starting full system upgrade...:: package-query: requires pacman<3.5

Open up a terminal and run the following commands:

# pacman -Rsn package-query yaourt# pacman -Syyu# pacman-db-upgrade

Also, the update provides a new pacman mirrorlist so you may want to run rank-mirrors again:

# cd /etc/pacman.d# cp mirrorlist mirrorlist.backup# nano mirrorlist.pacnew

Uncomment out all of the mirrors in your specific country, and then save/exit nano.Then run:

# rankmirrrors -n 7 mirrorlist.pacnew > mirrorlist

This will choose the 7 fastest mirrors for you to use.Next run this command to reload your mirrorlist and start the upgrade:

# pacman -Syyu

Then everything should be fixed for you.

Do you mean uncomment all mirrors in your specific country?

Yup. Like for instance:

Oops sorry fixed

Hmm... I just Syu'd last night without any errors. I also installed flashplugin-prerelease from yaourt. That worked fine, too.

Well I got the error this morning. I had Vagabond email me about it two days ago so who knows. Just a heads up though.Also, I use the flashplugin-prelease as well. It works great for me.

I have a "Square" version that I d-loaded direct from Adobe Labs. It works OK in Slack, but Arch didn't want to recognize it, so I used the one in AUR. Works great.

Kewl :thumbsup:The Yaourt package should be the same build you are using in Slackware. The source in the PKGBUILD file shows http://labs.adobe.co...imes/incubator/ as the source.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Yup. It's the same build.Oh, and I did just get the Pacman upgrade error. Going to follow your instructions above to fix right now.

[securitybreach]

Sounds good

[securitybreach]

Updated tutorial as well for new installs.

[V.T. Eric Layton]
