#99 Package updating issues
Hi, I am a long-standing user of MSYS and I have recently started migrating to MSYS2 due to the outdatedness of MSYS.
I've been having some issues updating packages. I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this but it is the only one I found.
I've followed the guide in https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/ but I have issues nonetheless.
With the latest MSYS2 installer, msys2-x86_64-20141003.exe, the core packages (filesystem msys2-runtime bash libreadline libiconv libarchive libgpgme libcurl pacman ncurses libintl) are having the fork problem. I have tried to install them one at a time and rebasing after but it always ends in the same result.
If I ignore the errors and rebase and then try to use MSYS2 it is not working properly, for example, the bash is mostly non-functional.
Maybe you guys have experienced this and come to a soluton?
What current errors do you have?
I installed MSYS2 with msys2-x86_64-20141003.exe and then
pacman -Sy
pacman -Sc
pacman -S --needed filesystem msys2-runtime bash libreadline libiconv libarchive libgpgme libcurl pacman ncurses libintl
$ pacman -S --needed filesystem msys2-runtime bash libreadline libiconv libarchive libgpgme libcurl pacman ncurses libintl
warning: libiconv-1.14-1 is up to date -- skipping

This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the msys DLL.
Search for msys-2.0.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version should
reside in x:\msys\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the msys distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another msys DLL.

You need just restart MSYS2
Ok, I did
pacman -S --needed filesystem msys2-runtime bash libreadline libiconv libarchive libgpgme libcurl pacman ncurses libintl
and then rebased.
When I launch bash it is not sourcing my files (.bash_profile, etc.) any more. I am not sure whether this is due to an issue in the new bash version or a problem with the installation.
I've solved this issue. MSYSTEM=MSYS was missing for some reason.
Seems you start MSYS2 not from one of bat files that we provide
Yeah, I was just launching bash through ConEmu. I've successfully updated everything. Thanks for the help! We can close this issue.
