Comment on Arch Linux: Pacman 4.0 upgrade breaks the system by Dima Q

Luckily pacman upgrade didn’t break my arm. no pun intended. Though it did let worry for a while, since intermediate stage had libarchive already new and pacman still old. During that minute or so pacman was not usable, if I interrupted the upgrade I would have been left with a broken system.
Thanks for the heads up which I read a few keystrokes too late!

Oh, and after starting the pacman update, I had to remove it again, or else the following error would show up:

error: failed to commit transaction (…)
(…) /usr/lib/libarchive.so.12 exists

On my system, I had to do

ln -s libarchive.so.2.8.5 libarchive.so.12

Thanks for the hint.

Hi mate
Last time the plugin still worked – just it cut out my rss feed.

Now, if activated Worpress 3.3 won’t work at all with it. When I upgraded my whole site went down. I then disabled all plugins and it came back. I then activated OWAD only, and the whole site went down again. So I have now deactivated it as my whole site won’t work with it.

But now I am left with a stack of posts that are meaning less due to the embed code of the old quizes.

Anyway, if you can help it would be great, otherwise I will just have to delete them all.

Let me know if I can donything to help you.
