Details
After syncing my local mirror with rsync.archlinux.org and
running my MD5 check script (see attached file), I see there
are a lot of missing packages. Actually these packages are
not missing at all : there is just a newer package available
but the db was not updated to reflect the change, which
result in the incapacity to install / upgrade some
packages.
For example I get this output from my rsync script, we can see that the db file is ignored (because it has not been updated, I tried to rm my local version and re-run rsync to get exactly the same db as before) : community start at 2007-02-20 03:14:07 receiving file list ... 1191 files to consider ./ xdm-archlinux-0.2-6.pkg.tar.gz 35934 100% 72.80kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#1, to-check=29/1191) deleting xdm-archlinux-0.2-5.pkg.tar.gz sent 124 bytes received 81892 bytes 12617.85 bytes/sec total size is 2111613789 speedup is 25746.36 community end at 2007-02-20 03:14:13 And I get this output from my check script (all the packages listed here have this problem) : Package community/anyfs-0.84.7-2.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/anyfs-tools-0.84.7-2.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/em8300-0.16.0-3.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/em8300-ck-0.16.0-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/freetalk-0.69-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/gcstar-1.1.0-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/gnucash-2.0.4-4.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/logwatch-7.3.3-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/qc-usb-0.6.6-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/qc-usb-messenger-1.5-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/ruby-sqlite3-1.1.0-2.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/shfs-ck-0.35-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package community/xdm-archlinux-0.2-5.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package extra/fast-user-switch-applet-2.16.0-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package extra/ipw3945-beyond-1.1.3-3.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package unstable/xfce-devtools-svn-23638-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing Package unstable/xfdesktop-svn-23995-3.pkg.tar.gz is missing And I get this from pacman, when trying to install something : [root@myhost ~]# pacman -Sy xdm-archlinux :: Synchronizing package databases... unstable [/home/ftp/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.o] 100% LOCAL testing [/home/ftp/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.o] 100% LOCAL current [/home/ftp/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.o] 100% LOCAL extra [/home/ftp/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.o] 100% LOCAL community [/home/ftp/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.o] 100% LOCAL Targets: xdm-archlinux-0.2-5 Total Package Size: 0.1 MB Proceed with upgrade?

Maybe someone forgot to run gensync ?

Package extra/fast-user-switch-applet-2.16.0-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing
Package extra/ipw3945-beyond-1.1.3-3.pkg.tar.gz is missing
Package unstable/xfce-devtools-svn-23638-1.pkg.tar.gz is missing
Package unstable/xfdesktop-svn-23995-3.pkg.tar.gz is missing
The others... I don't know about quite yet. I'll look into them more.
I'm going to close this now. It's a) not a pacman problem and b) not related to the DB as the bug report suggests. Please contact the maintainers, or just wait for someone else to complain to them 8).
