[SOLVED] pacman download errors

the 2008.03-1.archboot.ftp.iso is the only iso that worked for me. after the install, i logged in using root. I ran pacman -S xorg but got an error. I checked the mirrorlist file and everything was uncommented. I ran pacman -Syy and got many errors. failed to synchronize any database. I did nano pacman.conf and in there was no ftp sites. i put Architecture = auto at the bottom of pacman.conf file and got an error.
your help is greatly appreciated.

[SOLVED] Pacman GPGME error: No data

I recently bought a new computer and, of course, wanted to get away from windows 8 asap. I've installed arch several times before, and this time, from the outset, I've been plagued with GPGME errors. First was during the installation when I tried to install the base system with pacstrap. I solved that using the method here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=142798 (essentially delete /var/lib/pacman/sync and then run pacman -Syyu). From there on out, the install proceeded happily. After booting into my system, I attempted to begin downloading and installing things such as openssh, gparted, virt-manager...etc. Now I get the same error that I had before.
pacman -Syyu

As soon as this happened, I attempted to re initialize pacman and the keys with
pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux
This ran properly, but I was still unable to sync or update pacman. I then tried deleting /var/lib/pacman/sync and updating with the same result.
Next, I tried commenting out the mirrors, as that was mentioned in several posts while perusing the wiki. This still did not work. The next ting I tried was setting the SigLevel in the pacman.conf to Never, which brought about a whole host of different errors when trying to update (Unrecognized archive format error).
After reinitializing the keys again, deleting the /var/lib/pacman/sync folder and attempting another (unsuccessful) pacman -Syyu, and running pacman-key --refresh-keys, I set the SigLevel back to it's default, and decided it might be time to post asking for help. Does anyone have any other ideas that I could try? I've been working on this unsuccessfully for a few hours now, and I'd like to see it up and running.
Thank you all in advance!
Searching the archwiki, I tried these threads for additional help:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1111872 -- had a problem in pacman conf I do not
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169225 --commenting out mirrors did not work

I shutdown my computer, moved to a different network area, and it is now running happily. I have no idea why... perhaps firewall controls? Whatever the reason was, this is no longer happening. Marking as solved.

[SOLVED] PACMAN sig errors

Hi,
So i have this problem which started about a week ago, i reckon around the time of that pacman update. Anyway i'm getting signing erros on package installs and a sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux with and without sudo pacman -Syy fixes it....till i reboot then it errors up again. I've removed the /etc/pacman.d/gnupg folder etc reinstalled archlinux-keyring, pacman without a fix. Sorry my first post here is a beg for ideas to help but i'm more of a lurker then poster.
If anyone needs more info i am happy to provide as i really would love to solve this. Long live arch linux
cheers
Al
edit:
Should add the keys show up with pacman-key -l or -f etc after reboot but doesn't stop me from errors. so the keyring is still there but not searched? but if i do a pacman-key --refresh-keys then it will find new keys but this will not fix the errors and allow package install. needs the --init then populate to allow install.
hope i'm clear enough

Allan it appears to be correct, and i disabled the ntpd check/set i had autostarting and that made no difference. Thanks for your efforts in helping troubleshoot this.
not sure this helps but if I logout my openbox session (--exit) then logon again the keyring is still working fine.

Wait until your server upload the recent Arch Linux updates. Than you will be able to upgrade it. Or do like i had: download open-bm-tools from Arch Linux official site and install it and then issue "pacman -Syu".

[SOLVED] Pacman Dependency error with nouveau-dri and libgl

I am upgrading my system with
sudo pacman -Syu
The out put is as follows:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
testing is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nouveau-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
It seems that the newest libgl is 7.10.2-1, while the newest nouveau-dri(7.10.1-2) requires 7.10.1-1. An upgrade operation will upgrade the libgl from 7.10.1-1 to 7.10.2-1, which result in a conflict with nouveau-dri.
Is there any workaround? Do I have to wait for the nouveau-dri update?
THANKS!

Thanks @ngoonee !
It turns out that this is because the mirror (mirrors.163.com/archlinux) I am using is broken. It is holding <libgl 7.10.2-1> without <nouveau-dri 7.10.1-2> and simultaneously. I changed to http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/ and the problem solves.
You're welcome. The mirror is/was probably just affected by a partial sync (the letter l is earlier than n ).
Yeah, that's a quite reasonable explaination :-)

Anyone else, looking at this, look at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1086153 which suggests the above method could break pacman (but I don't understand why yet).

[solved] pacman update error

A few days ago I attempted to update my system, and am consistently getting this error:
$ sudo pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...

looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (package filename is not valid)
The problem is that this is all it gives me; even a pacman -Svu gives no more information than this. How can I identify the package that's causing the fault short of testing each installed package individually?

A pacman -Syy seems to have done the trick, thank you!
Not sure exactly what caused the problem, but I was able to get the system updated. I'm always impressed with how quickly this community jumps in to help; thanks to all of you. I even learned some new tricks through all of this.

Alright, I found out what it was with a little troubleshooting of my own. It turns out that the commands for set are download-dir and download-command, not download_dir and download_command, as stated in the example jumanjirc in the jumanji wiki at the arch site, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Jumanji, so in case anyone reads this, please update that or point it out in the wiki.
Sorry for the extraneous post.

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read

error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)

Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help
Last edited by Windfinder (2008-09-29 20:43:29)

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

To edit /etc/pacman.conf, I used LibreOffice Writer. I saved the file as a .txt document and made sure that it is properly renamed as pacman.conf.
Next, I went to update pacman's package list by running pacman with the -Sy switch.
And then, voila:
# pacman -Sy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
However, when looking at pacman.conf I don't see any errors in line 1. Nor do I see any problems with directives.
Here are the contents of pacman.conf:

Is there a simple problem with a line in pacman.conf --- or is it because I used LibreOffice Writer instead of Vi? Or?
Is the answer to this right in front of my nose?
Thank ya'll..

LibreOffice Writer is a word processor - it will do odd things to your .conf files. Use a text editor. If you don't want to use vi, then use nano, or gedit or anything other than a word processor.
Moving to NC: not at all related to pacman...
