Description:
neither XferCommand given in: #XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o #XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u work with my current version of pacman: Pacman v4.0.3 - libalpm v7.0.3 I have a forum post here as well: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1214623#p1214623 I opened this bug when I realized the commented out XferCommands in the default pacman.conf were just as broken as the custom wget command I was trying. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: 1. uncomment either of these two lines in pacman.conf #XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o #XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u 2. pacman -Syy you should get errors such as this: --2013-01-06 10:52:46-- http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/archlinux/extra/os/i686/extra.db.sig Resolving ftp.osuosl.org (ftp.osuosl.org)... 64.50.233.100 Connecting to ftp.osuosl.org (ftp.osuosl.org)|64.50.233.100|:80... connected.

If you want to "fix" this, then set DatabaseNever in your pacman.conf. There's nothing that we can do to "fix" DB updates done via XferCommand, since we have no control over the external program.
