Remove lock file as in message

[t246246]

I have same problem. windows 7 64 bit.
Install from msys2-x86_64-20161025.exe and exec 'pacman -Syuu' and close window.
(It dose not close in several minutes, I have to kill mintty, though.)

After restarting mintty from msys2_shell.cmd, 'pacman -Suu' or 'pacman -Syuu' command exits without installing anything, and return to bash prompt. Lock file remains. If I remove lock file, next pacman command exits abnormally as well.

PS. I tried 32 bit msys msys2-i686-20161025.exe on the same PC, but the result are the same.

I tried doing a fresh install on x64 Win7 and everything worked fine here :/

I found a workaround, See https://github.com/msys2/msys2/issues/87#issuecomment-335368074 , but then problem occurred on the next step:

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

Am I connecting to wrong repository?

EDIT

Oddly, all mingw* files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg is 0KB.
I reedit pacman.conf to change download command to wget, then 'pacman -S' command download them correctly.

[lazka]

There is a newer installer, which might work better: https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/Base/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20170918.exe/download

1. Try running pacman with `--debug` and `--verbose`. 2. Check BLODA<https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda>.

Weird. Can you check if you have anything from BLODA running? Other than that, try strace or procmon to check what happens right before the crash.

[elieux]

Can you check `pldd $$` (maybe post the output here)?

Oh yeah, those are some trendy micros right there. :P Since you can't remove the AV, is there at least an option to ignore specific programs or whole directories?

[americodias]

I have exactly the same problem.

[americodias]

I've found a solution: edit your /etc/pacman.conf and uncomment the following line:
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

[liudonghua123]

I have the same problem.
Nothing happened when I run pacman.

I use msys2 that comes preinstalled with omnet++, When I update pacman to support zstd, I get the same result. Any way to fix this?

[Biswa96]

Hi @a-huk Have you contacted that project devs? Maybe you can ask them to update the installer?

Hi @a-huk Have you contacted that project devs? Maybe you can ask them to update the installer?

Yes, I have, was just wondering if there was anything I could do on my side?

[Biswa96]

There are some tips and tricks here https://www.msys2.org/news/. But it depends on your specific issue and you have to know the pacman commands well.
