New install can't update.

[Raymondday]

Just installed Archlinux on a 320GB drive that can plug in the SATA port. I waited so long because I was not sure what I all ready had on that 320GB drive. But it was just a new Linux install.

So I did what it says to install Archlinux and it worked good. But trying to do a pacman -U don't look like it works. Here is some text of it:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# pacman -Syuf

I don't get what is wrong.

All I want to do is get samba working on this one.

I guess it's just some command I have to type?

Try
pacman -Syyu

I'd check the manual on pacman's -U option.

In the mean time, if you are not fully concerned, a simple -Syuf will force it.

I'm running into the same problem on my B01. pacman -Syuu gives the same error. pacman -Syuf gives the same error.

Stuck. Is there a way to manually resolve the conflicts?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ':: gnupg and gnupg2 are in conflict. Remove gnupg2? [y/N] y
:: udev and udev-oxnas are in conflict. Remove udev-oxnas? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-7
')

I tell pacman to remove the conflicting libraries, but it doesn't do it. Every time I run pacman -Sy, no matter the parameters, I get the same error.

i get the same on a Pogo-B04 I'm currently setting up. forcing the update didn't do the trick either...

[pepedog]

Try this
pacman -S udev-oxnas
pacman -Syuf

I was able to solve the problem surprisingly easily.

The problem was that when I ran pacman, it told me that pacman itself should be updated, and asked me if I wanted to abort the current install and do the pacman update. I always answered Yes, and it was during the update of pacman that I was getting the errors.

Finally, I tried answering No (meaning "don't update pacman before updating everything else"), and it was able to do the full system update without a hitch.
