[SOLVED] update problem retrieving hostapd package

Hello, anyone experience problems while trying to update hostapd package?

I receive 'Maximum file size exceeded' error. Is there a problem with the update server or the package itself has some malformation 🤔

I'm on a runit system here 🙋🏻‍♂️ Tnx

 Used the archive package maybe the main one has a corruption.

Code: [Select]
pacman -U https://archive.artixlinux.org/packages/h/hostapd/hostapd-2.11-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Problem solved

 Hmmm after updated hostapd via archive, I get this message on boot. I think is completely benign but wonder how to get rid of it in a safe way.

The error reads "/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/hostapd.conf:5: d lines don't take argument fields, ignoring.

The hostapd.conf file has this content you see bellow:

Code: [Select]
# create configuration files and directories from factory defaults if they do not exist
C /etc/hostapd - - - - /usr/share/factory/etc/hostapd

# create state dir
d /var/lib/hostapd 750 root root - - -

What's missing? 🤔

It was an issue with the package in the Artix repositories.

Has been fixed now.

See this thread.

Regards!

 Yes but also in my case I had to comment out this line

Code: [Select]
# d /var/lib/hostapd 750 root root - - -

Now I don't have any problems since anyway that line was ignored for whatever reason.
