Can you run with --debug and show us the output?

Aaron Griffin is trying to help me with my problem! I feel blessed :)

The output of --debug is quite long so I thought I'd better put it on pastebin. Here's the link :

Hmm, here is the relevant code from lib/libalpm/sync.c. You can see this error gets thrown if filename is null, which means alpm_pkg_get_filename() returned null on that particular package. Do you have any custom repos enabled that could potentially have invalid filename fields? /** Compute the size of the files that will be downloaded to install a * package. * @param newpkg the new package to upgrade to */ static int compute_download_size(pmpkg_t *newpkg) { const char *fname; char *fpath; off_t size = 0; fname = alpm_pkg_get_filename(newpkg); ASSERT(fname != NULL, RET_ERR(PM_ERR_PKG_INVALID_NAME, -1));
