grep'ing out blank lines and sorting output thoroughly breaks any file lists with %BACKUP% entries which must be separated from the file list by a blank line.
Signed-off-by: Andrew Gregory <[email protected]> --- Anybody who has replaced an owned directory with a symlink and run pacman-db-upgrade has mangled the file list for all packages with backup files. To check for broken file lists run: `grep -xA1 %BACKUP% /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files | grep -B1 %FILES%` Any file lists with output are broken. Broken file lists can be repaired by reinstalling the affected packages with --dbonly. After repairing, users should remove /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION and run the fixed version of pacman-db-upgrade. scripts/pacman-db-upgrade.sh.in | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/pacman-db-upgrade.sh.in b/scripts/pacman-db-upgrade.sh.in index d2d317b..d7e34bd 100644 --- a/scripts/pacman-db-upgrade.sh.in +++ b/scripts/pacman-db-upgrade.sh.in @@ -211,9 +211,9 @@ if [[ -z "$db_version" ]]; then { if ($0 == olddir) { # replace symlink with its target, including parents - printf("%s", parents) - printf("%s\n", newdir) - } else if ($0 == file) { + if (parents) printf("%s", parents) + if (newdir) printf("%s\n", newdir) + } else if (file && $0 == file) { # newdir already existed as a file, skip it } else if (index($0, olddir) == 1) { # update paths that were under olddir @@ -222,7 +222,7 @@ if [[ -z "$db_version" ]]; then # print everything else as-is print } - }' "$f" | grep . | LC_ALL=C sort -u > "$f.tmp" + }' "$f" > "$f.tmp" mv "$f.tmp" "$f" done done -- 2.1.1
