So I just did an update and got the following messages: (16/24) upgrading nvidia [----------------------------------] 100% cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/version: No such file or directory .... (20/24) upgrading virtualbox-host-modules [----------------------------------] 100% cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/version: No such file or directory It seems like these are looking for Linux 4.3, but the linux package in [core] is still at 4.2. I'm afraid if I'll reboot, there will be problems with the graphics driver. Why wasn't the linux package updated alongside these others? Or am I wrong, and is this harmless?

either your mirror is out of sync or we have an inconsistent repo state, where someone moved some modules bevore moving the kernel. in the signoff report from an hour ago linux-4.3-1 is fully signed off, but not moved yet. you can check the current state of the packages at the website. you fear for reboot seems legit - you could either wait for a consistent state (which is to appear soon) or manually take the respective packages from [testing] (or via the web interface. hope this helps.

This should be fixed with 5.0.10-2.1 version -- Laurent Carlier http://www.archlinux.org

Thanks, it is! What about the nvidia package? Should I file a bug?

Or am I wrong, and is this harmless? Boy, I wish I was as cautious as you before updating... I was about to post that after updating nvidia drivers, trying to start the X will get you a black screen. I had assumed it was related to the custom kernel and/or DKMS, but the problem appears with the regular nvidia package and kernel. Well, I guess I can always downgrade.

Thanks for the post, I must remember to check my email more often. --

Did you update today? Laurent fixed the nvidia package the same day (22 Nov.), which is in [extra] now. There shouldn't be any problems with the current package.

Rereading this thread, it seems not only hadn't I read the email before I had the problem, I didn't even read it properly afterwards... I thought I might have had those errors and hadn't read them, but upon inspection of /var/log/pacman.log, it turns out there were actually no errors.

Given the case, and since I'm in no emergency (have downgraded the packages, can use the X, although graphical acceleration does not work), I'll make a new thread asking why do I get the problem I described with the most recently packaged kernel and nvidia drivers, searching for it more adequately first. Sorry if I wasted your time, false alarm, I was simply distracted. Twice. João Miguel

Even better: read the pacman messages while updating (or afterwards in the logs). ;) Mvg, Guus

Which makes my problem as complicated as I thought it was before I found this (i.e. an actual driver problem instead of a packaging mistake).

Thanks for the attention, João Miguel
