Description:

Pikaur just hangs during the synchronizing packages stage. Not a network or mirror issue, since pacman works just fine.

Attached log:

So it eventually completed. So I decided to execute a simple time pikaur -Syu, which resulted in

real    6m34.497s
user    0m0.080s
sys     0m0.031s

My CPU was basically idle during this time.

on which exact line it's waiting for 6 minutes?

is reproducible every time or happens occasionally?

[jibarofoss]

It hangs on multilib is up to date. It happens every time I run pikaur since yesterday. I've rebooted twice to rule out transient shenanigans.

Where is the log stored?

in terminal when you run pikaur with --pikaur-debug flag

Got an email from my ISP today that they were having some network issues that affected some services. Issues with pikaur are gone today so I guess it was being affected by it. Sorry for bothering you.

that makes sense, since the hang was happening while waiting for network request reply from Arch News (it happens in the same time with repositories refresh in different threads, aparently you're using local mirror with which your provider didn't had connectivity problem - so repo refresh thread was waiting for arch news thread to finish)
