[SOLVED] Unable to install packages in lxc container

tl;dr: lxc-console should be used for logging in, not lxc-attach. Also, I had to do some additional work to get the tty to work in systemd, and I plan to update the wiki soon.
I created a container using the following command:
# lxc-create -n test -t archlinux
Once created and configured, I started the container daemonized, and attached:
# lxc-start -n test -d
# lxc-attach --clear-env -n test -- su - root
However, I am unable to install any software packages because GPG isn't working properly

Has anyone else experienced this? I've searched the web for solutions to the GPG error, and most of them relate to GPG not working in a chroot because the right things don't exist in /dev. However, I was under the impression that lxc.autodev=1 would take care of this, and indeed /dev/pts, etc. all exist in the container.

Try

I just did this, and the command succeeded:

... snip ...

However, the installation still failed.
I was able to get pacman to install openssh by turning off signature verification. I then ssh'ed into the container, turned signature verification back on, and was able to install other packages just fine.
So the issue seems to be with how lxc-attach connects to the container. A temporary solution would be:
Add openssh to the list of packages installed when running lxc-create.
# lxc-create -n test -t archlinux -- -P vim,openssh
Attach to the container and run systemctl enable sshd.service, and set a root password
Detach, then ssh into container and go about your business.
However, I'd rather have the option of not using sshd on the container, and still be able to install packages, so I don't necessarily consider this problem solved yet.
Can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong when I attach to the container?

[SOLVED] Pacman: cant install, remove, update packages

I'm new to Arch, and yes I've read the Wiki and the sticky post "pacman error: FILENAME exists in filesystem".
I can't install or update packages. Just synced the local database. I want to install the package "mc", so I ran:
pacman -S mc
All required packages were downloaded but then I got lots of:
[package-name]: /path/to/file exists in file system
I tried to remove that package but it says:
loading package data...
error: '[package-name]': could not find or read package
I'm totally confused!

[Solved]Error with installing package: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

So i know there are other posts about this and i have read them and I have also read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … _in_.2Flib and also this forum post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156942
the error i get when trying to install a package from the AUR
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
hp-health: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I tried to find who owned the files/package in the /lib by the following commands
$ grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files
$ find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
the output was
/lib is owned by filesystem 2015.02-1
Im confused what to do at this point as the wiki that I linked above says
If any package apart from glibc is listed as owning a file, that package needs to be updated to install its files in /usr/lib
Last edited by PigsInSpace (2015-03-01 02:25:24)

You are following directions for a file conflict with /lib for a very specific one-time manual intervention, but you don't have that file conflict according to the error message you posted and it is not for that intervention. See this instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … 9.22_error then report the error on the aur page for that package.
This fixes it:
package() {
cd "$srcdir"
+ mv usr/lib64 usr/lib
cp -a opt usr var "$pkgdir"

[SOLVED]Error during "Install packages"

Was really hoping it'd be a long time before I had to come here for help (my first Linux install), but...
I'm having trouble with the installation. The first clue is when I'm preparing the hard drive:
After manually configuring the block devices, filesystems and mountpoints, there's a "Mount" window saying "Error mounting /dev/sdb4 on /mnt/home", likewise for var and /, but otherwise completes successfully.
Then, during package installation, every single package fails:
e.g. "warning: warning given when extracting usr/share/zoneinfo/GMTO (Can't create '/mnt/usr......')"
.... (other files unsuccessfully being extracted)
Installation failed
and so on for the rest of the packages.
My source is the official 2011.08 core image on a flash drive (/dev/sda1/) writing to an external hdd (/dev/sdb1, etc). I've searched the forums and the wiki and google but haven't been able to figure it out. Somehow the partitions aren't accessible to pacman, perhaps?
Hopefully I'm not missing something really obvious...

Occasionally I run in to a program installed from AUR or from the repository that has a name different than the package name. Is there a way to easily see what the name of the package is? Today I installed draftsight, and I can't figure out how to launch it from the terminal. Thanks

Thanks that got it. If you add
/opt/dassault-systemes/draftsight/bin to your path by adding
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/dassault-systemes/draftsight/bin
to your .bashrc, it runs by typing draftsigh in the terminal. Thanks again.

[SOLVED]How to install packages with the -U option? PGP error.

I have to downgrade some packages (linux package due to ath5k problem), but pacman won't allow me because of the signatures.
I downloaded the packages i need from here http://schlunix.org/archlinux/.
These packages are safe to install? How can i bypass the signature check, if these packages are safe to install?
Thanks.

If you have a pgp key, you can sign the packages with your own key. You can do this by editing /etc/makepkg.conf, adding your key to the GPGKEY="" section and enabling the sign option in the BUILDENV section. When building the package, it'll then be signed with your personal key. Afterwards import your key in pacman (pacman-key -r <yourkey>), assign the proper trust level and you're good to go.
A workaround is to temporarily set "SigLevel = Never" in your /etc/pacman.conf (and hence disabling keysigning).
EDIT: I just bothered to actually check your link and you'll be installing prebuilt binaries, so my first explanation doesn't apply there (you won't be building anything). So just setting SigLevel to Optional or Never (temporarily) should do.

[Solved] Failed to install package

I found some other cases of this, but it was from people not having multilib enabled.
Also tried runnning pacman -Syyu. Didn't work.
And yes, the package name is correct.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

[SOLVED]Trying to install package-query again. Cannot find PKGBUILD.

I'm updating my arch after 4 months. Yes it has been a long time.
During the update process I had to remove package-query and yaourt, and now I'm trying to get them back.
I got package-query from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35915
Untared it, went inside, and did makepkg -s, but the PKGBUILD could not be found. I looked through the directories and didn't see a PKGBUILD anywhere.
Am I missing something?

Did you click the 'Download Tarbel' link on the right side of the page? (Correct choice)
Or the link under the Sources Bar ? (Incorrect choice)

i download this latest itunes but i cant install it on my laptop? everytime i run it.message appear it that "itunesetup.exe is not valid win32 application?? how can i solve it

That generally indicates that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
The following document is a good place to start:

[SOLVED] Make Pacman cache packages installed with -U

When installing a package with -U, pacman doesn't cache packages as it does when installing with -S. Is there a way to change this behavior?
I read somewhere that specifying the package's full path and prepending "file://", as in "pacman -U file://path/to/package.pkg.tar.xz", but this often complains of an "invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)".
How can I make pacman always copy installed packages to the cache?
MOD EDIT: change 'closed' to 'solved' in title to avoid confusion

You can't. This has been discussed on the bugtracker several times.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15143

If you're building the packages yourself with makepkg, you can set PKGDEST to your cache in makepkg.conf. Otherwise you could write a small pacman wrapper that copies the package after installing it.

Cant install itunes 10.6 no matter what i try! (Windows installer package error)

I cant install itunes !
I downloaded the latest version from the offcial site, and everytime i try to install it it stops half way due to Windows Installer Package error. It says I'm missing a program required to continue this installation.
I've tried removing all the files with removal tools, running it with admin rights, disabling firewalls, User account controls, updated my Windows update to the latest version. Read all the threads and tried everything but it still doesn't work.
Does any1 have any suggestions?

Download and save a full itunes setup file.
Use Winrar to unzip the file into a folder. Then right mouse click the file AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi from that folder to install.
If you don't have winrar, you can go to this link to download a free trial version.

[SOLVED] cant install acpi_call-git

Comment by CIB (2013-08-02 13:22)
Getting errors when trying to build this, it seems to rely on something already being in /usr/lib/modules/3.10.3-1-ARCH/build
Does this rely on some kernel source package or something?
Comment by CIB (2013-08-02 14:02)
Looks like it: linux-headers package. Could that be added to the dependencies, please?

I just tried to makepkg for acpi_call-git package and it fails because
of rejected acpi_call-x86_64.patch. I compared the patch and original file
