I had problems with ocaml yesterday. After the machine locked up during the updates, I did a hard reset, and ran pacman -Su again. It continued downloading ocaml, but when all the updates were downloaded, it failed to install them, claiming that ocaml was corrupted. I removed the corrupted ocaml as requested, and as I'm on dialup and didn't want to download 38MB of ocaml again last night, I temporarily added an IgnorePkg line for it. Ran pacman -Su again, and all the updates apart from ocaml, and also gnupg2, which couldn't be found, were installed. Today I went to install the ocaml update, having removed it from the IgnorePkg line. It starts to download, but then throws an error as below. error: error writing to file '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/ocaml....' :Bad address Harddrive partition is redlining, and the partly downloaded ocaml file shows as 2GB size. Any ideas on a fix for this problem? As an aside, pacman was updated, but not before the other updates, in case that is what has caused the problem. Nigel.
