Pacstrap failed retrieving file error download size

New issue. Jump to bottom. Copy link. Packages 1 gengetopt Packages 3 libgnutls Yes, that worked, thanks! Is there something I could do to prevent this from happening with other packages? I am having the same error. Ctags package retrieving failed: Maximum file size exceeded Rebuild all packages that have wrong file size in sync db ….

Rebuild all packages that have an incorrect file size in the sync databases Comment by Barbu Paul - Gheorghe paullik - Saturday, 28 July , GMT I am investigating this issue and I'd like to know whether it is desired to allow the mirror to fail X times or to remove the mirror on the first fail , timeout, etc. So I'd like to know which method is preferred. I have noticed at least once, that there is only one package that fails for a given set of mirrors, but I would say this situation is rather rare.

At least this is the case for me. I haven't read the pacman source, but if you keep a list of servers in memory, I guess you can duplicate each server entry X times in that list, as an alternative to creating a new data type.

It probably isn't the cleanest way to do it though I think failing on the first might be acceptable, but I wouldn't say it's ideal. Sindre, I don't understand what you mean by: "I have noticed at least once, that there is only one package that fails for a given set of mirrors, but I would say this situation is rather rare.

I like the idea of failing on the first , but giving the server a second chance if another error occurred. PS: Dave Reisner, sorry if I interrupted or managed to trip your work on this bug report.

Sorry If i am unclear. Usually, if a package can not be found on a given server, the server is down. Find More Posts by drillsar. Find More Posts by ondoho.

I've also faced this problem but I got the solution: Open Add or Remove Softwares and go to Preferences and then change your official repositories to Canada then Refresh mirror lists It may work now.
