[Solved]GoFlexHome:Cannot update system using pacman -Syu

[huntrm]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pepedog', 'T')hink you will have to unplug, fschk drive, and put in the three symlinks.
I had one similar, tar xf filesystem pkg to it, but had some etc files overwrote

[dansl]

I'm having the same issues, and now I can't get my pogo to boot...

[MotoTom]

OK, I, too, an having problems updating. I get the "memory exhausted" message when running the first command,

Here's my terminal session including the ls results for /bin /sbin /usr/sbin.

That looks like a ton of work to remove all of those files/packages.

I'm thinking a better way might be to start from scratch again but to delay installing ProFTP, miniDLNA and Samba until everything else has been properly updated. I'm running a Pogoplug E02.

What say you?

TIA.

[pepedog]

hydro suggested breaking it into 2 commands
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin > packages
pacman -Qm $(<packages)')
You could get most shifted with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash
pacman -S bash')
Then do the broke apart commands above
If updates haven't been done in a while, you might have to do this first step
pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash,glibc,pacman
and do a libarchive symlink

[MotoTom]

pepedog,

You ARE the man. Thank you so much.

There was only one package, ProFTP that needed removed and the rest of the update went flawlessly with one minor exception that I'd like some advice on. When I did the "pacman -Su" I got a warning:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'warning: directory permissions differ on /sys/
filesystem: 755 package: 555')

Should chmod this or leave it alone?

[pepedog]

Thanks.
It's just a warning, I changed mine but it seems to change back, don't know what causes that.
I had proftpd stop me also, it's because it's no longer in repo it doesn't get upgraded out of /usr/sbin
Wonder why proftpd was dropped!

[MotoTom]

Strange. According to the ProFTP page @ AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proftpd/) it's been updated to the new standard. The latest update is 31/5/13.

I also tried to install vsFTP and it's not in the repositories either. Looks like I'll have to try reinstalling ProFTP out side of pacman.

Thanks again.

[pepedog]

You could reinstall it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

[MotoTom]

Looks like the version in that folder is two versions old. Probably before the change to use /usr/bin.

FWIW, so far I've queried ProFTP, vsFTP and pure-ftp, all of which are listed in AUR, and pacman says they're not there.

I wonder if something else is broken. According to pacman all of my repositories are up to date.

[pepedog]

There is the aur of archlinux (PKGBUILD etc), and the aur of Archlinuxarm (package built)
Search forum topics for package request, and request. Or build the package yourself, it's easy
