Anyone else seeing weirdness? This is a relatively recent build of pacman-git, on i686, using mirrors.kernel.org as the first mirror. Note that the [core] repository line even got blown away in there, meaning it never hit 100% so we never output the \n character or something (it should be right where the [extra] stuff starts): $ pacSyu Password: :: Synchronizing package databases... testing 27.2K 94.3K/s 00:00:00 [---------------------------------------------------] 100% error: extra.db.tar.gz appears to be truncated: 464860/465084 bytesK 131.7K/s 00:00:00 [------------------------------------------------c ] 95% error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.easynews.com : Requested Range Not Satisfiable error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirror.rit.edu : Requested Range Not Satisfiable error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.gigenet.com : Not Found error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from archlinux.unixheads.org : Requested Range Not Satisfiable error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.easynews.com : Requested Range Not Satisfiable error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.portafixe.com : No address record error: failed to update extra (No address record) community-testing 2.7K 89.0K/s 00:00:00 [---------------------------------------------------] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... 336.0K 129.5K/s 00:00:00 [----------------------------------------------C o ] 92% warning: archiso: local (0.8-1) is newer than extra (0.1-1) resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...
