Hi, in lib/libalpm/alpm.h, you define PM_LOCK to "/tmp/pacman.lck", but the lock file should depend on config->root, a scenario: I have a chroot at /home/chroot where I ran the following: pacman -Sy -r /home/chroot xorg gnome gnome-extra kde And i want to update and/or install on my real root ( / ), so I run pacman -Syu but pacman will exit since /tmp/pacman.lck exist, this is wrong, "pacman -r /home/chroot" should not lock "pacman -r /" since pacman will not touch /var/lib/pacman... Regards, Wael Nasreddine

I have a chroot at /home/chroot where I ran the following: pacman -Sy -r /home/chroot xorg gnome gnome-extra kde

And i want to update and/or install on my real root ( / ), so I run pacman -Syu

but pacman will exit since /tmp/pacman.lck exist, this is wrong, "pacman -r /home/chroot" should not lock "pacman -r /" since pacman will not touch /var/lib/pacman...

Hah. Well, I have been rather busy at work, and don't have much freetime - and that I do get I want to do somethig non-techy, usually. The first or second week of Sep, this project should be wrapping up, so things should change then.

New subject: [pacman-dev] denyhosts not using cfg file

It looks like the package denyhosts in extra is not using the /etc/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg file. Denyhosts is a daemon, and all that needs to be done is add --config=/etc/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg to the /etc/rc.d/denyhosts start command to have it use the config file. would be useful if the build was updated.

Is this the correct place for this? I would post a bug in the bug tracker requesting this be changed in a future build. -- Rob "iBertus" Howard On 8/28/06, lists@wiki-blog.net wrote:
