[SOLVED] Pacman unable to install packages due to invalid or corrup...

Hullo,
I know this is a common error judging by the results google lists for that subject. But all sollutions I found don't work for my specific case.
My battery died on my laptop and when I rebooted and tried to install a package pacman complained the database was locked (can't remember if I was installing something or else while my battery died, happend while I was away).
So since I've just rebooted I deleted the lock-file by hand. Now when ever I tried to install something it would complain:
error: xyz: signature from "xyz @ zyx" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/packagexyz.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
So I removed /etc/pacman.d/gnupg, cleared the package-cache and ran pacman-key --init:
gpg: /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Generating pacman keyring master key...
gpg: key B99666F8 marked as ultimately trusted

followed by pacman-key --populate archlinux:
==> Appending keys from archlinux.gpg...
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: no need for a trustdb check
and pacman-key --refresh-keys:

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.
It looks like it's not doing much. Anyway, trying to install packages or upgrading the system results in me having to import a bunch of keys and then failing with the before mentioned error.
Anything I can do?
Thanks

[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.

I just did this, and the command succeeded:

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 trying to install 64-bit packages on 32-bit system

I was upgrading my Arch Linux i686 install, and I got the following error:

I added Architecture = i686 to /etc/pacman.conf under [options], and when I run pacman -Syu, I get these errors:

[SOLVED]Pacman try to install old version packages which not exists

When I tried to install django, pacman reported 404 error.
And I found that pacman tried to install django-1.4.3-1 while the resposity I used only has django-1.4.4-1
I've deleted all resposities except
Server = http://mirrors.163.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
And then I tried
pacman -Syy
but it seems useless.

Because the 163.com's repository does not have django..

At last, I can install django now..
I think this topic can be marked as SOLVED. Should I mark it or the administrator will do this?(In fact I do not know how to mark it.:))
You shouldn't use ftp.archlinux.org, it's throttled. Use another mirror instead.
I just use ftp.archlinux.org occacionally to fix the problem.
Sometimes I don't want to wait the mirror updating itself.

[SOLVED] Pacman wont upgrade any packages

EDIT: I was able to solve my problem by pacman -R yaourt package-query pacman-color, I was then able to update pacman. Since I like yaourt and wanted to keep it I follow the instructions on their page (http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en#get_it). I added their repo to my /etc/pacman.conf and then installed yaourt from pacman and now everything works again like it should.
When I try to upgrade packages I get the following errors:

[Solved] rebuild a currently installed package

hey everyone! a while ago, i accidentally pacman -Scc rather than just -Sc because i was being dumb and not paying attention, and now it turns out that i actually need one of those packages i deleted. is it possible to re-make a currently installed package from the the files scattered around my system?
Last edited by shmibs (2013-09-16 15:19:45)

@OP - Not what you asked, but be aware that you can look for the package and build an older version yourself. Example for [extra]/vim:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vim/
*Click 'view changes'
*Let's say I want to build package version 7.3.515-1 for some reason
*Click 'upgpkg: vim 7.3.515-1'
*Click the link next to 'Download' to grab the tarball
*Extract it and go into '/path/to/archive/trunk'
*There you will find all the needed files to build said package

Unable to install updates due to lack of space in phone memory

Hello,
I am unable to install software updates into my phone due to lack of space in phone memory. Some non movable apps need to be moved to sd card. Give me suggetion.

@Sekhar1987,
Unfortunately you can not move apps from phone memory to the SD card without rooting. (rooting will void your warranty)
Search the forum and you'll find many similar topics.
Cheers.

[SOLVED] script to backup installed packages

Hi guys,
I know it should be easy, but I keep failing...
I can generate the list of installed packages with:
comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) <(pacman -Qmq|sort) > pkglist.txt
and I woudl like to integrate into my backup script.
I was testing it with a script with only two lines:
#! /bin/bash
comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) <(pacman -Qmq|sort) > pkglist.txt
but I get:
mkpklist: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
mkpklist: line 3: `comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) <(pacman -Qmq|sort) > pkglist.txt '"
I tried different options with brackets in different places, but me being useless with these things I have no idea of what I am doing...
could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot
M

@mcarni, you know that when you use "sh <script>" you are specifying sh as the shell the script will be run with. In otherwords, you are overriding the shebang (#!/bin/bash) with /bin/sh. On our systems, we actually don't have an actual /bin/sh, as it is a symlink to bash. But when it is called via that symlink, it actually does its best to act like the old bourne shell.

After searching around a bit, I found http://www.archlinux.org/news/having-pa … -packages/
I tried that, but I think it doesn't apply to me, as I've installed Arch just last week. Running
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
does not give me pacman.conf.pacnew, as I think is to be expected as I already started with an up to date pacman, right?
The contents of my pacman.conf are here: http://pastie.org/private/w5iwbcwknmaiffhxchzekq
I tried throwing away the packages with "pacman -Sc kile" and reinstalling with "pacman -S kile", same result.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
(Probably unrelated, but I'm running Arch in a VirtualBox, with xfce, Linux version 3.5.4-1-ARCH)

karol wrote:1. You should run 'pacman -Sc' not 'pacman -Sc foo'. 'foo' doesn't do anything here (no harm either) as 'pacman -Sc' doesn't take arguments.
2. The issue you faced has been covered in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … 9.22_error (next to last question) yet people keep banging their heads against it. Have you read the 'Troubleshooting' part of Arch wiki article on pacman? Was there anything unclear? Maybe we can phrase it better?
I did not have *.part files, only 0-byte-files with the correct name, so that solution does not apply to my problem. Besides, the problem I had was that pacman said "Signature from "User <[email protected]>" is unknown trust, installation failed", so I tried the solution above the one you mentioned, which failed. As soon as I understood something was wrong with my cached files, it was solved quite easily.

[SOLVED] sudo: unable to set runas group vector: Invalid argument

I recently made the (idiotic) mistake of overwriting my /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, although I managed to restore them from a backup. Since restarting the machine I'm having the same issue every time I invoke sudo:
sudo: unable to set runas group vector: Invalid argument
I can't find any info on this error. Any ideas on where to start?
Thanks,

EDIT: I should also note that this is a headless machine that I'm accessing via SSH.

Thanks for the reply, Amish.
It's my understanding that the 'group vector' is a term that refers to the specific set of groups to which a user has membership, rather than a specific group named 'vector'. Although, I could be mistaken.
From the sudo manpage:
The -P (preserve group vector) option causes sudo to preserve the user's group vector unaltered. By default, sudo will initialize the group vector to the list of groups the target user is in. The real and effective group IDs, however, are still set to match the target user.
Similarly, from the sudoers manpage:
By default, sudo will initialize the group vector to the list of groups the target user is in. When preserve_groups is set, the user's existing group vector is left unaltered. The real and effective group IDs, however, are still set to match the target user. This flag is off by default.
But the manpages don't offer me much, I'm still clueless as to why I'm getting the error.
EDIT: although using the -P flag seems to allow sudo to run without error

I had an issue like this during an update several months ago. Reflector was the problem package and the existing files were owned by reflector. I think it's worth mentioning since reflector is also a python package. Anyway, iirc I simply removed and reinstalled reflector.
Unfortunately, it won't be so easy for you since pyastpi is part of a dep-chain leading to gnome-shell... looks like you're going to have to figure out how to do it the right way

[Solved] Pacman unable to look up keys remotely

My [testing] install has been running pacman 4 ever since Allan put a provisional package up for testing (outside the [testing] repo). The key verification worked okay.
However, I am not able to upgrade any more packages it seems, due to pacman being unable to look up the keys online. I don't know if the gnupg 2 move has anything to do with it. I already tried changing the key server in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf from the default one to the MIT one (which seems to be a lot more responsive). That doesn't help any.
This is what pacman spits out:
error: libnfs: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: afpfs-ng: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: libshairport: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: xbmc: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Curiously, all those packages are xbmc 11.0 and its new dependencies. It's just one key. I ran pacman-key -u and it says there is no need for updating (I may be misled about the purpose of the -u option though ).
Any pointers?

Thanks.
Too bad there was nothing about that on the general dev ML, or I must have overlooked it. I have followed the discussion about dropping the gnupg 1.4 branch, but no mention whatsoever of this breakage that the patch mentioned in the dev ML will fix.
