I am currently running Arco Linux B openbox. Last week when trying to update with sudo pacman -Syyyu i got this error message.

I haven't made any hardware changes nor any changes to the to mirrors. I have tried googling nothing.
You guys are my last hope. Thanks in advance for any help I get

The error message seems clear. You need to investigate that.
Is your system working otherwise? Can you write to /var?
Maybe just show us the output of Please do not use the PHP code block, just use normal CODE blocks.


BTW, Running (or -Syyyu) is not recommended.

Thanks for your help. My apologies but I don't know the regular code blocks. I was searching the forums but couldn't find the code

This is the result of df -h

I have tried sudo pacman -Syyyu that is what produced that error code

Root is 100% full.

On an arch machine pacmans cache is at:
/var/cache/pacman/pkg

Thanks. I did a sudo pacman -Sc to clear up cache space that seemed to do the trick. please could you give me code blocks syntax

Without the spaces.

See my signature.
Please mark this thread SOLVED now (also in my sig).

Your root partition '/' is too small.

Thank you, for the laugh that link is funny.

I just installed ArcoLinux onto 3 partitions of my SSD, one with Mate, one with Cutefish, and one with UKUI. They all installed successfully (with a little issue I solved myself). I updated Mate. I updated UKUI. I tried to update Cutefish, but got told two files were corrupted. I tried several times. I then installed one with Plasma, and got the same issue. I'm guessing there's something messed up in the Qt-based files.

I tried to get onto the ArcoLinux forums, but their captcha is completely unreadable, or at least they didn't agree with what I thought I read, so I couldn't join.

If this is the wrong group, I apologize, but it's impossible to find the ArcoLinux Distro group here. I went through a lot of pages and then just did a Search to find anything about Arco, and here I am.

Never used arco. Looks like it uses pamac and/or pacman.

Post the exact command that you used to update or install a package. Post the error message.

Also, are you partially updated?

I have used both Pamac and Pacman to attempt the updates. They work fine in ArcoLinux Mate and ArcoLinux UKUI, but failed with "
corrupted packages" messages in the Cutefish and Plasma versions.
