[arch-general] sudo arch-nspawn $ch86/root pacman -Syu [missed update]

All, Updating an i686 archroot, the update failed to update wireless_tools-30.pre9-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz. The repository used is: http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/archlinux/core/os/i686/ The file is present in the leaseweb repository. I had manually checked for the presence of this file in my archroot because I had failing packages due to the old libiw.so.29 in the archroot. ls -1 /dat_e/ch86/david/lib/libiw* libiw.so -> libiw.so.29 libiw.so.29 So updating the archroot tonight with: sudo arch-nspawn $ch86/root pacman -Syu showed the following packages to be updated: :: Synchronizing package databases... core 106.7 KiB 326K/s 00:00 [##################] 100% extra 1534.6 KiB 530K/s 00:03 [##################] 100% community 2.1 MiB 573K/s 00:04 [##################] 100% local 28.1 KiB 0.00B/s 00:00 [##################] 100% archlinux-keyring-20140220-1 binutils-2.24-2 cryptsetup-1.6.4-1 curl-7.35.0-1 device-mapper-2.02.105-2 dhcpcd-6.2.1-1 e2fsprogs-1.42.9-1 file-5.17-1 flex-2.5.38-1 gcc-4.8.2-8 gcc-libs-4.8.2-8 gdb-7.7-1 glibc-2.19-2 grep-2.18-1 libgcrypt-1.6.1-1 libldap-2.4.39-1 libsasl-2.1.26-7 libusb-1.0.18-1 libusbx-1.0.17-1 [removal] linux-3.13.5-1 linux-api-headers-3.13.2-1 linux-firmware-20140217.343e460-1 lvm2-2.02.105-2 man-pages-3.60-1 pam-1.1.8-3 python2-2.7.6-3 s-nail-14.6.1-1 sqlite-3.8.3.1-1 sudo-1.8.9.p5-1 systemd-208-11 systemd-sysvcompat-208-11 util-linux-2.24.1-1 It completely missed the wireless_tools-30.pre9-1 update. I had to manually download the file and then install with: sudo makechrootpkg -r "$ch86" -I wireless_tools-30.pre9-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz How is it possible for an update to the archroot to completely miss a package that is in need of update? My normal install saw the update just fine, does arch-nspawn not handle the naming change for the package correctly? The update was from: wireless_tools-29-8-i686.pkg.tar.xz to wireless_tools-30.pre9-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz Did the '.pre9' screw arch-nspawn up somehow causing it to skip the update? Seems like the 29 -> 30 would take precedence. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
