I just re-install Arch with a 2007 CD, I tried to use the FTP installation and I couldn't get the package list from any server. (and my internet connection was working..) I read the thread pretty face (maybe I miss the bug report) but I want to know if this is a known issue?

Yes, ftp installation from 2007 CD is broken. You could use the current (2007) core-ISOs when you do a "install from CD". Or you use the new ISO's currently in test from here: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/rc-iso/2008.03/ With them a ftp/http install is possible.

Thank you.

Problems seems some missing filelists in some packages (ex. glibc) and that there are 3 /mnt/.CHANGELOG files conflicting in glibc, initscripts and perl. These stops the installation of all/most base packages and so if user go further in install/configuration all config files are empty.

We don't use filelists anymore in packages. The new ISO will use a much more recent version of pacman so this won't be an issue.

Will these be fixed before the new ISO go official?

Please use the TEST Isos i posted before, ftp install is broken since a long time. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

Are the missing filelists in packages the "stopper"? I did some ftp-installs last 2 weeks and never looked on the output after base packages install. I assume the real stoppers are the conflicting CHANGELOG files, right?

Ah well, I answered Dan privately because I found this confusing, but I should have answered here probably :) When .FILELIST files are absent, pacman rebuilds the filelist by reading the tarball. There is a problem with 3.0 though, it didn't ignore .CHANGELOG while rebuilding that filelist. So this problem is only triggered when using pacman 3.0, with new packages that don't have .FILELIST anymore, and have a changelog. This issue has been fixed ages ago in 3.1, and there is a new iso with 3.1 in preparation, so there is nothing to do but wait.
