Vague error running pacman after replacing pacnew files

laurapigeon · February 15, 2025, 10:02am

I (accidentally) overwrote a bunch of existing files with pacnew versions, and a consequence has been that attempts to run pacman halt with this error:

$ sudo pacman -Sy
:: Synchronising package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unexpected error)

I’d noticed one of the pacnew files overwrote /etc/pacman.conf, so via Error after using Pacdiff & Meld - #4 by aandmsantos0910 I made the suggested changes to the file, which now looks like:

$ cat /etc/pacman.conf
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

but now I’m getting the error above.

In case the issue isn’t solely in pacman.conf, I made a list of all pacnew files which likely overwrote the original version of the files:

/etc/bluetooth/main.conf.pacnew
/etc/eos-update-notifier.conf.pacnew
/etc/issue.pacnew
/etc/locale.gen.pacnew
/etc/makepkg.conf.d/rust.conf.pacnew

I have also tried all three Update Mirrors options in the welcome launcher, and all ran without issue.

Update your mirrors (welcome app), then run sudo pacman -Syyu this will recreate your databases.

laurapigeon · February 15, 2025, 10:29am

I’ve run all three Update Mirrors options in the welcome launcher. They all ran without issue, but I still get the error from any pacman command.

~~What is this line? DownloadUser = alpm take it out, try again.~~

I have just tried your pacman.conf, it runs OK here:

How can I debug what’s going wrong on my end, then? cat /var/log/pacman.log just shows

I am only showing pacnew files for both the arch mirror list and endeavour mirror list. I doubt that that is the problem. It’s probably another pacnew file you merged. I don’t tend to do this much. If my system is working i leave it alone.

laurapigeon · February 15, 2025, 4:39pm

Yea, I’m going to be a lot more careful around it now I understand the sort of files it can deal with. Do you know which from the pacnew files I listed could’ve had this effect? Or otherwise how to get more info on the issue? I’m a little worried I wont be able to get pacman working again at all.

ricklinux · February 15, 2025, 4:47pm

I really don’t have a clue. It would only be a guess that probably would turn out to be no help. A lot of those files could have an impact. Which one is the culprit i don’t know. It could also be more than one?

What i do is use pacdiff & meld and then i use view. Then i look over both files. If i’m not merging or manually changing anything i close the opened file and then use skip. Then view for the next and go through the same process of viewing and either merging or manually making changes if i think it’s necessary. Then the next and so on until all pacnew files have been looked at.

Edit: Maybe help is on the way!

dbarronoss · February 15, 2025, 4:50pm

I’m with Rick, in most cases it doesn’t make any difference if you update the files from pacnew or not. It helps (of course) if you understand the application configuration syntax and can judge that to be the case.
However, the best overall attitude is probably the same as growing plants, benign neglect (of course the plants do need light and water, but people that are always picking at their plants and fussing seem to do the worst with them).

laurapigeon · February 15, 2025, 4:58pm

Yeah I’ve gone many months without any issues following this principle. I genuinely just had the impression (from this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=198117 and from pacdiff being in the eos welcome menu) that it was a simple command that handles little leftover config scraps from user-installed packages, and I failed to do my due diligence for a number of reasons.

manuel · February 15, 2025, 5:27pm

Clicking Welcome’s Pacdiff & meld button runs the eos-pacdiff app.

You might be interested to know that the next version of eos-pacdiff will, by default, create backups of the files in question before letting user manage the corresponding *.pacnew file.
Hopefully this change will make running eos-pacdiff safer and help prevent such unfortunate accidents you experienced.

By default eos-pacdiff did not backup those files. This default is in line with the pacdiff app from package pacman-contrib.

Note that both eos-pacdiff and pacdiff have option --backup for making the backups, although pacdiff (to my knowledge) does not create a backup in all cases.

In general, apps like pacdiff and eos-pacdiff assume careful planning before using. There are many files that can cause problems if changed in a way that wasn’t designed, for example, but not limited to:

/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group

As people said above, if a user is uncertain, it is better to not change a file because of a *.pacnew file. But, if the user really wants to change the file, it is always better come here and ask for advice before making the change.

Edit: the new eos-pacdiff is in package eos-bash-shared version 25.2.7-1.

keescase · February 15, 2025, 5:43pm

To be honest I have always had some problems in understanding this pacdiff and meld “thingy”.
Because if I am trying to merge two files , I am getting the message that there are no files to be merged (or something like that).

manuel · February 15, 2025, 5:53pm

Pacdiff & meld is meant for checkíng out changes for files updated automatically by pacman, guided by the PKGBUILD recipe of a package. So they reside in certain places. Pacdiff simply knows where those files are.
This is system maintenance, and as mentioned above, you almost always don’t have to do anything.

If you only want to compare two files (that are not updated by pacman), you need only some file comparison program, for example meld, kompare, or just diff.

laurapigeon · February 15, 2025, 5:57pm

This was the reason I ended up using the overwrite- I assumed from this message that there would therefore be nothing to overwrite and thus the overwrite would just implement whatever pacnew files there were. Unfortunately I didn’t then go and actually check for the existence of and cat the files.

keescase · February 15, 2025, 5:58pm

Ok but if pacdiff know where the files are, why offer the option to merge them, if it is not capable of doing that just doesn’t make any sense.

manuel · February 15, 2025, 6:08pm

That design stems from pacdiff (package pacman-contib).
I agree in some cases it may be confusing and even cause problems.
It just assumes user knows exactly what to do and what not, which I gather is in line with the Arch philosophy.

I can’t imagine how eos-update-notifier.conf or /etc/pam.d/kde or passwd or shells or sudoers or the stuff from /tmp/ could be causing the issue, but I can send them if wanted. I’ve put my pacman.conf and endeavouros-mirrorlist in previous comments. If not a direct solution I’d love to know how I could reset the config to as it is on eos install maybe? Or just how to get more info about the issue than just (unexpected error).

Related to these I’d say potential problem files might be any of

/etc/locale.gen
/etc/pam.d/kde
/etc/passwd
/etc/shells
/etc/sudoers

The files you showed already seem OK to me by a quick look.

But first you could try clearing the pacman databases and update:

eos-update --clear-databases
eos-update

laurapigeon · February 15, 2025, 9:39pm

I’ve already tried clearing the sync folder so that error makes sense (/var/lib/pacman/sync/ exists but is empty), but:

$ eos-update --clear-databases
==> sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*
rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/pacman/sync/*': No such file or directory
==> eos-update: error: 'sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*' failed.
~ [1]$ eos-update
eos-update: package updater with additional features
Updating native apps...
:: Synchronising package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unexpected error)

My locale.gen has solely en_GB.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8 and locale-gen throws no errors. The locale.conf is solely en_GB.UTF-8, and I don’t get the perl error from incorrect locale stuff.

$ cat /etc/pam.d/kde
#%PAM-1.0

sudoers is large and only readable as root so I won’t post it, but I have no trouble using su and sudo to run various things.

Is there any less drastic step than resetting the whole operating system now?
