Try a different mirror? Which one are you using?

And what image do you have on your Pi? When did you last sync with the repo?

Also, could your SD card be full? If there is not enough room, you need to clear space.

Also, if your rootfs has severe errors, system may not let you write to disk. If you run fsck on the root partition, is it clean? Or have you checked /var/log/everything.log to make sure that e2fsck is not recommended?

This issue has already been noted. Addtionally there is already a fix. Please goto http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=5685.

I believe this is what your issue is. But you have provided such limited log/data/errors, and so on. I personally used the last comment as a working fix.

I don't see a fix. Then again I can't reproduce problem. Which fix fixed it for you?

Hello, orney21d! I was wondering if you have found a solution to your problem with pacman? If you look at the topic "Raspberry Pi - Can not update the system" (the topic is on page 1 of this Raspberry Pi forum), you will see that I have the same pacman problem, with no solution so far. Any input from you would be most welcome.

And don't apologise for your English - it's a lot better than my Spanish!
