pacman extra.db error?

Postby Parsa » Tue May 03, 2011 6:42 pm

Sorry for the noobish question but recently when I try pacman -Syu I get:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ':: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
warning: resuming download of extra.db not possible; starting over
extra 393.3K 137.2K/s 00:00:03 [######################] 100%
error: could not rename /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db.part to /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db (Input/output error)
community 372.5K 140.1K/s 00:00:03 [######################] 100%
aur is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db'
there is nothing to do
')

I tried pacman-db-upgrade and pacman -Syy but they didn't help..


What have I done this time?! :oops:

IO Error is what I always got when the filesystem would get fried on flash drives.

fsck your drive offline and try again.
