Is my pacman broken?

Postby spookster » Sun Nov 17, 2024 12:51 pm

Heya,
I am using ALARM on a raspberry pi 3b.
For about two weeks i did not get any updates when running `sudo pacman -Syu`. Weirdly enough i am still on `linux-aarch64 6.11.6-2` kernel. Looking at https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/linux-aarch64 I expected to receive the update to `6.11.7-1` during the last week.

There are no errors when running `sudo pacman -Syyu`, downloads as usual and then it just says there is nothing to do.

Last updates I received from `/var/opt/pacman.log`:

[2024-11-07T16:50:49+0100] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Syu'
[2024-11-07T16:50:49+0100] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists

[2024-11-07T16:51:15+0100] [ALPM] running '30-systemd-update.hook'...

Is my pacman broken or can someone enlighten me what is going on?

Edit: Just noticed other packages are also not updating (i.e. `btop`, `containerd`, `curl` should be updated). Any help is greatly appreciated.

No, there must be a major rebuild in progress where repo sync has been disabled to allow all packages and dependencies to be complete before pushing.

You can query the last time the mirror synced with curl:

% curl --headmake_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'http://fl.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/sync', '', ' class="postlink"')
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
