Sadly, static libraries are being removed from almost all packages, making it very difficult to build a static version of pacman on arch itself. I've had to create a shell script that does the build in a chroot environment, which means this package a) requires root for the build phase, and b) isn't really tied to pacman 4.1.2, but builds whatever the latest version it can get out of abs is.

Good point, Nowaker. I've just changed the package so that most of the dependencies are now makedepends instead of depends. I left gpg2 in there for now, since it does call the executable. Maybe gpg shoudl be an optdepend, since you can actually use pacman without gpg, though it's a bad idea except in an emergency.

@mazieres, why does it depend on glibc or whatever if it's statically compiled? I wanted to install this package before performing the glibc and /usr/lib update, and it doesn't let me go. If it's intended "for fixing systems with corrupt libc" it shouldn't depend on anything.

If you are running this on another system such as debian, you will need to create /var/lib/pacman/{local,sync} and possibly /var/cache/pacman/pkg, same as if you were "pacstrapping" an arch system. Alternatively you can edit your pacman.conf file to put these directories somewhere else.

I've try to run pacman-static under debian wheezy. I can run "help" (-h) but if i use "pacman-static -Syy" it says: error: failed to initialize alpm library (could not find or read directory)

nice work

If you are totally hosed, to the point that even gpg cannot run to verify signatures, but you still have a root shell, you must do the following: # cat > /tmp/conf <<EOF [options] Architecture = auto SigLevel = Never [core] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist EOF # pacman-static --config /tmp/conf -S glibc ...
