Hi folks,
starting to do migration from 64 to 32 bit as announced within the
other thread. :o))
I choose the Live-CD method following this guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Migrating_Between_Architectures_Without_Reinstalling#Method_1:_using_the_Arch_LiveCD
changed the script mensioned there this way:
=====================
#!/bin/bash
MOUNTED_INSTALL='/mnt'
TEMP_FILE='/tmp/packages.list'
ARCH='i686' # added this and used --arch $ARCH
pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Sy
pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir
$MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --arch $ARCH --noconfirm -S base
base-devel # -Sg only *listing* the groups
#not reached here yet
pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Qq > $TEMP_FILE
for PKG in $(cat $TEMP_FILE) ; do
pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir
$MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --noconfirm -S $PKG
done
exit 0
=================
As I'm a courious guy I run the lines one by one on the shell watching
the
results :o))
running the second line, 32-bit live arch's pacman refuses to install
32-bit
packages and instead complains (example):
:: package pkg-config-0.28-2-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
this is basically true, but not very helpful because I requested it to
install
32-bit packages which in this case should be pkg-config-0.28-2-i686, if
I got
it right.
Changing neither /etc/pacman.conf's Architecture = i686 nor the
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist entries accordingly are of any help.
Does anyone have an idea, what's missing?
Channge pacman -Sy to pacman -Syy to force it to grab new databases.
