On i686 or x86_64?

Also are you fully up to date? Especially give your libpipeline version.
Comment by Ken Gunderson (kgunders) - Tuesday, 15 April 2014, 05:26 GMT
x86_64, no multilibs

libpipeline 1.3.0-1

I expect that a pacman -Syyu should be pretty up to date, no? Had to downgrade man-db from pkg cache. Problem went away. Update to latest man-db, problme recurs.

Can't reproduce. Anything in IgnorePkg in pacman.conf? How about core packages replaced by AUR packages?

The only possibility I can think of might be that I am using oss-nonfree from AUR instead of alsa.

pacman.conf is ignoring gnuplot (why is qt now a depends for gnuplot?) and audacious (because I haven't gotten around to uninstalling post no longer supporting OSS).
