Fails on these mirrors, I'm certain it's corrupted everywhere:


#Server = http://schlunix.org/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
#Server = http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/ArchLinux/$repo/os/i686
#Server = http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
Server = http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/i686

johnatan: I tried installing kdemod, and it still relies on the corrupt attica package from the repository.

Arin Lares :

Installation Walkthru

* read this detailed install guide if needed
* backup your files like contacts of kaddressbook since it got rewritte and you have to setup it completely new.
* run sudo pacman -Rd libattica followed by sudo pacman -Syu
* apply all pkg replacements
* remove any old plasmoid you kept from KDE SC 4.3 such as smooth tasks (kdemod-taskhandlers)
* If you update from virtuoso 5 as nepomuk backend you will have to convert your database (Nepomuk Virtuoso Converter) or simply do
rm -Rv ~/.kdemod4/share/apps/nepomuk && rm -v ~/.kdemod4/share/config/nepomuk*
- the latter is of course only recommend if you had not used nepomuk's tagging and comment features.
* In case of any error, try using a new user account or (re)moving KDEmod's
configuration which can be found at ~/.kdemod4 /tmp/kde-* /var/tmp/kdecache-*.
Akonadi saves its data at ~/.config/akonadi and ~/.local/share/akonadi
* reboot your system

*For all the errors related to MO catalogs like this one:

kdemod-kde-l10n-es: /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/choqok.mo exists in filesystem
you can use the -f switch ( sudo pacman -Syuf )

But be sure you only have errors related to .mo files

@johnatan: Thanks for your suggestions but this doesn't work for archlinux as there is no libattica in the repositories.

This bug is open for more than a month and nobody cares to recompile the package which should take less than 5 minutes. I have to say that I'm somewhat disappointed. I had to compile the attica package myself to be able to update another system of mine.

The problem is still there.
I cannot upgrade my system because attica-0.1.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted.

Edit: cleaning my pacman cache helped. I could now succesfully upgrade my system.
So I might have been too fast clicking the reopen button. OTOH, it's weird that it was another attica package that gave the error. Strange coincidence?
