If your Conary version predates Conary 0.70.0 You need a to retrieve a changeset file for your architecture. Use a program such as wget to download the changeset files. If you don't have wget installed, see Conary Conversion Without Wget for help.

Use the following procedure to update Conary by hand:

First, download the changeset file:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget ftp://download.rpath.com/conary/conary-0.70.0.x86.ccs

or for the x86_64 architecture:

$ wget ftp://download.rpath.com/conary/conary-0.70.0.x86_64.ccs

Now, apply the changeset you have downloaded:

$ su
# cp /var/lib/conarydb/conarydb /var/lib/conarydb/conarydb.pre-0.70.0
# conary update conary-0.70.0.*.ccs

Finally, due to the change in changeset format, your old rollbacks are invalid, so remove them:

# rm -rf /var/lib/conarydb/rollbacks ; conary q conary
