Description:

after upgrading to pacman 3.4.0-2 i could not upgrade the system anymore;

i added
Architecture='auto' or
Architecture='i686'
to pacman.conf but all i got was:

pacman -Su

running pacman -Su --arch=i686 solves it. maybe there is some config missing? this could be related to the other bug i posted.

Can you post your "uname -m" output.
Comment by Tomas M. (eldragon) - Tuesday, 22 June 2010, 00:33 GMT
$ uname -m
i686

Are these the exact lines you are using?
Architecture='auto' or Architecture='i686'

The example provided is not quoted:
Architecture = auto

Post your non-working pacman.conf
