When you pacman -Syu and it says update pacman, it only upgrades pacman
If you say no, everything upgrades including pacman

thanks for your reply

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date

')

now if I choose 'y', it would remove udev-oxnas and even with a
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sf udev-oxnas')

after a reboot SSH won't be available, I'm lost

You should keep udev and udev-oxnas, just say No when ask you for update

[stuck]

but if you say no, it won't update anything

[orney21d]

You should say No at this point:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] Y')

Thank you very much it seems to be what I was looking for

I just ran into this problem, too. What is the source of the problem? And should I set the pacman version to hold until further notice?

[WarheadsSE]

It all seems to be magically related to mismatching the versions of openssl.

Hi this does not tell anything about why the problem is occurring, nor does it provide any cosmic understanding. However, it worked for me. Your mileage may vary. Close cover before striking. It would be a good thing to follow these suggestions in the order they are provided. DO NOT REBOOT UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO. That would scare off the Mojo

1. Follow instructions to put new rootfs on a new ext3 partition. For the V3 I followed the instructions at the end of the install info.

2. IMPORTANT: Install Webmin before you update. Don't install anything else or reboot yet.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webmin

3. Use pacman to update.

pacman -Syu

DO NOT REBOOT YET!

4. Be sure to reinstall udev-oxnas

pacman -S udev-oxnas

DO NOT REBOOT YET!

5. Start up Webmin, if you followed the Webmin install instructions, you should have some contact with your pogo. If so, on the Webmin main menu, select SYSTEM, then PACMAN, then click on the RUN SYSTEM UPGRADE button. This is the most important step. If you skip this, you will fix NOTHING.

6. NOW REBOOT. If the gods of pogo are smiling, ssh will work, you can update and install with impunity, the openssl problem will be gone, birds will sing and little flowers will dance around your feet. Worked for me... I will let someone who knows explain why.

Has everyone simply tried running Syu until it stops asking, but ensuring that both udev-oxnas and openssl are installed?

Perhaps:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -Syu (no to pacman first)
pacman -Syu
pacman Sf udev-oxnas openssl
')
