Hi! I've been inactive for the past year, so I don't know if this is already fixed. Sometimes I get segmentation fault during downloading db or package. This is the latest output from today. As you may see this is with --debug, but it doesn't really helps to get idea on what may cause the segfault.

Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. At the time of this segfault I was connected to a wireless network with quite unstable connection (disconnects are rare, but I think packet loss might have place). Seems like libfetch related issue. Is this known? Or if it's alpm/pacman-related - was something like this fixed in git? P.S.: looks like --debug is not even mentioned in the man page, is this intentional or just forgotten? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

I'm sure there is a bug report still open about this. It does seem releated to unstable networks. From memory, there has been no-one who can replicate consistently so that we can debug to source of the crash. Allan

Don't you use libdownload rather than libfetch? We would like to know if this issue still happens with pacman-git + libfetch from testing.

I use libdownload. Is there some premade pacman-git package or should I build it myself? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Dan repo is quite outdated, but the package there was already using libfetch : http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-git/ Though it is probably better to build one yourself, as quite a few changes happened since then, and the current git will be closer to 3.3 release.

Haha, you guilt-tripped me into rebuilding these- it has been a loooong time. You can find the newest versions there in the repo, and I also threw up my latest PKGBUILD at http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-git/pacman-git/ which uses a build() and package() function. Have fun -Syu-ing! I swear it won't break. :) -Dan

Ouch! That's because i686 version was installed on my x86_64 system, because named repo as [pacman-git] instead of [pacman-git-64] Have to recover my pacman installation now. :-P -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Just untar the package, remove the .PKGINFO and whatnot, and cp -r everything Then, just to be sure, pacman -S pacman again :)

Have not seen segfaults with pacman-git + libfetch yet, but probably I was not "lucky" enough. Will keep an eye on it, if I won't get a segfault during next week - consider the problem fixed. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
