| Post subject: | Pacman update |
I upgraded to 8.4 today and it went fairly well after a few reboots. Now I wanted to try out MythExport but when I tried to pacman, I got the following errors. Any ideas? Code: pacman -Syyu mythexport
error: failed to initialize alpm library (database is incorrect version: /var/lib/pacman/) try running pacman-db-upgrade [mythtv@envy bin]$ pacman-db-upgrade ==> ERROR: You must have correct permissions to upgrade the database. [mythtv@envy bin]$ sudo pacman-db-upgrade ==> ERROR: Pacman lock file was found. Cannot run while pacman is running. [mythtv@envy bin]$ |

If no other instances of pacman are running (ps aux | grep pacman) then manually delete the lock file and run pacman-db-upgrade again. |

It looks like an instance of pacman is running. This was the first command after a fresh reboot. Any idea why? Code: [mythtv@envy ~]$ sudo pacman-db-upgrade
==> ERROR: Pacman lock file was found. Cannot run while pacman is running. [mythtv@envy ~]$ ps aux | grep pacman mythtv 23598 0.0 0.1 12576 2280 pts/1 S+ 19:04 0:00 grep pacman |

No other instances are running. That command found itself (grep pacman). If that is all it finds delete the lock file. |

OK. That worked. Did a Code: sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck and all is good with pacman.Thanks for the help. |
