pacman will not update
 
Please can anybody help. Pacman will not update. I am typing this from the same computer so I have internet connectivity.

Code:
$ sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck && sudo pacman-mirrors -g && sudo pacman -Syyuu  && sudo pacman -Suu

These are just shots in the dark, but it might help...

Is your hard drive full? Try "pacman -Sc" or "pacman -Scc"

Try just running "pacman -Syy"

When was the last time you updated your system? I know that they sometimes change the database format, and you have to rebuild the databases... if you missed several upgrades, that might be an issue.

Thanks for your reply.

The hard drive was barely half full, pacman regularly updated and I had tried the above commands, I guess it had somehow become corrupted. I tried everything I could think of and eventually, after a few days, gave up.

I decided it was time for a change after using Arch based distros for a few years, so I have wiped the lot and started afresh with Slackware (which I am finding very good).

Sorry to hear the issue wasn't fixed.

Good luck with Slackware!
