In fact I already installed Dropbox by downloading the PKGBUILD and the rest of the files and running makepkg as usual and even up- dated aur/calibre-bzr and bleachbit-svn with yaourt without problems. The problem here is the core/filesystem package that somehow mess my system rendering FF and makepkg unusable - either way makepkg is invoked, via CLI or thru a pacman wrapper like yaourt). Regarding the 'missing' package I was talking about core/filesystem. When I said I didn't find the package in www.archlinux.org/packages I was talking about core/filesystem which I tried to find with the x86_64 filter - my bad, I apologize for that. The package of course is located here: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/filesystem/ My desire when mailing to the list was to know if anyone else were expe- rimenting the same issue as I. Just a crazy though: can this be a permissions issue? What have me so lost is why I'm experimenting this because so far I never had any problems in so much time updating the whole system everyday or at least every other day. As a plus, despite a bunch of AUR packages (yes, I know what that implies but I check everyone of them carefully before install'em) I try to keep my system as much as standard and vanilla as possible since I use my Arch for everyday job so please discard thinking of any obscure changes I could have done. Thanks again for your time =)
