Hi,
The db script for extra x86_64 is stuck:
$ /arch/db-extra64 error: db generation is already in progress (started by andyrtr) rm: cannot remove `/srv/tmp/.repolock.extra.x86_64': Operation not permitted
That was started hours ago. Can someone with root power remove the lock file to fix it?
Fixed it. I'm fixing some oopses I made with the dbscripts now. If this happens again, let me know - I commented out the chmod crap for now
I'm not sure if it's part of the oopses, but it seems that the problem is that the script for x86_64 doesn't remove the lock file because it can't find it. Error message on running db-extra64: error: repo lock doesn't exist... something went terribly wrong!
A /srv/tmp/.repolock.extra.x86_64 lockfile was left with 644 permissions for my user. I removed it manually to not block updates for other users.
I think this is related to bug 10888 - where sourcing the PKGBUILD overwrites the $arch local var, so it's always i686 (as $foo of an array, foo, evaluates to the first array item, which is usually i686). I will have this fixed in a few hours or so
