Description:
Current filename of the Vi package is: vi-1:050325-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (replace architecture as needed). The colon in the file name doesn't allow the creation of the file on a FAT32 filesystem. While trying to run pacstrap on a FAT32 disc you'll get the following error: error: could not open file /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/vi-1:050325-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.part: Invalid argument I do not believe that there are many people out there needing an installation on FAT32, I believe that it should be supported. Especially for portable/usb systems. I am raising this to High severity because it affects arch installation. Additional info: * package version(s) Vi (latest, 1:050325-3) Installation with arch-install-scripts (latest) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: Use a FAT32 usb stick as a target for an arch installation. Run: pacstrap /mnt base (as instructed by the wiki) either from another installation media or a computer running arch. Wait for the download of files to complete and see the error message |
