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 ?

securitybreach Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 It sounds like the link RayMac gave, you either ran out of diskspace or you need to update your mirrors. 1 Quote
securitybreach Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 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 Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I changed the ? puzz?e to a lower case L in the topic for you. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I remember that issue from my time running Arch. It happened occasionally. I usually solved it by downloading new mirrors and running rankmirrors again. 2 Quote
abarbarian Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 Emptied the cache and all is well. Thanks. 1 Quote
saturnian Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 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. 1 Quote
