You mean, all of this:
upower
udev
util-linux
device-mapper
initscripts
mkinitcpio
linux-firmware
nvidia
udisks
usbutils
xz
postgres

... and NO kernel update???

W.T.F.

Well, it had to come sometime, didn't it?

Per a suggestion to install reflector:

Code: Select all

:) pacman -Ss reflector
community/reflector 2011.04.04.1-2 [0.01 MB] ---->[installed]<----
    A script to retrieve and filter the latest mirrorlist from the MirrorStatus
    page.

So, what do I need to do here?

In going through the steps here again, I get the following:

Code: Select all

What in the world is going on here? Am wondering if this is what's going on with the issue I'm having with yaourt?

Thanks.

You already have it from a meta package you have installed. All is good.

[dedanna1029]

What package would it have been part of?

Code: Select all

.:[ dedanna@dedanna.rocks.net : 15:53:58 : ~ ]:.
:) pacman -Ss gnome-shell-extension-user-theme
extra/gnome-shell-extension-user-theme 3.0.2-0.20110526.1 [0.00 MB]
    User Theme extension for GNOME Shell
.:[ dedanna@dedanna.rocks.net : 15:54:07 : ~ ]:.
:) pacman -Q gnome-shell-extension-user-theme
error: package "gnome-shell-extension-user-theme" not found

Nothing says "installed" on this end.

Edit: Its dependency also shows as not installed:

Code: Select all

.:[ dedanna@dedanna.rocks.net : 15:58:51 : ~ ]:.

So, yeah, I am curious as to what the meta package may have been. Thanks.

[viking60]

Gnome-tweak-tools I think

[dedanna1029]

Ah, okay. Thanks. Yeah, did install that.

[dedanna1029]

Oh gods, here we go again:

I've had this a couple times already. Any clue what's up? Tor is running. It does it even when it isn't.

Thanks.

[viking60]

I don't get anything when I run that.

Yeah, it's not there any more it seems. Was cruising the Arch forums last night for resolutions to getting boinc going, and that was one of them, but then looked at the date - it was Feb. 2011 on the tip to install two things, and that was one of them, so I guess it was a bum steer. No wonder anyone had responded to that thread.

But the thing that bugs me, is not that those files aren't there any more. What's bugging me is this error almost every time I run yaourt now. It's been happening ever since I went ahead and upgraded pacman, and powerpill was uninstalled in the process:

Code: Select all

lexical error: invalid char in json text.
                                       <html> <head> <title>Tor is not
                     (right here) ------^

Bit of an odd one. Guess yaourtrc has to be parused, among other things...

I've found things similar through google search, but nothing that really resolves things. I'm beginning to wonder if rebuilding package-query would help, but there's nothing specific on that, and I wouldn't really know how to without starting from scratch with reinstalling pacman and yaourt both?

Edit: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 21#p943821

[viking60]

I think removing yaourt and the line in /etc/pacman.conf should do it. Then update and reinstall yaourt. Couldn't hurt

[dedanna1029]

Wait. Which line in /etc/pacman.conf are we talking here, again?
