[SOLVED] Pacstrap fails retrieving any file...

Hi guys; I'm new here & kind of ashamed to open a thread because of the probably real stupid error I get.
(Yes, I read the wiki and searched inside the forum&google.)
I trying to install Arch in a Virtualbox VM; but I can't get past the initial pacstrap.
All I get is:
http://i.minus.com/igwm6vXdLZqPE.jpg
http://i.minus.com/iGEBrUyZ3JoxH.jpg
It always stops at about 88-90%.
Network is working (at least pinging google etc.)
I tried changing the mirror list (one of the mirrors is just 1km away and probably in the same university network as me... -.-)
Manually downloading the databases via wget (found links somewhere here...) so the "warning: database file does not exist" error stopped coming, but that was the only thing that changed.
I'm real perplexed about what's wrong. I'd be glad if you helped me^^

That was already the chosen option I've never changed anything there.
Last night I also thought that may have to do something withe a misconfiguration of Virtualbox, so i downloaded the trial version of parallels, nothing changed.
Err.. the only factor that hasn't changed is my network here. But I've never mentioned any problems with it in regular use; and It seems that syncing of the core-pacage has no such problems?

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

[SOLVED] Pacman failed retrieving file 'core.db' after removing KDE

Hey, I had to remove KDE and foolishly used the -Rsc flag. Now, trying to update yields:
[root@Gal-PC2 gal]# pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.isoc.org.il : Resolving timed out after 10524 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.us.leaseweb.net : Resolving timed out after 10523 milliseconds
I tryed using the -Sy and -Syy flags to update the database, and made sure I am not using ipv6. I think the -Rsc flag might deleted an importent package. I can connect to the net, and I can acess mirrors using http and I can ping the mirrors. The error persists on a large number of mirrors. Any help will be appriciated.

EDIT: SOLVED!
Ok, so I did indeed disable ipv6 as I promised, but turns out I put in the GRUB kernel line "ipv6.disable_ipv6=1". Upon re-reading the wiki, turns out this means ipv6 is disabled but tunnels with ipv6 may be opened by programs. I changed to "ipv6.disable=1" and pacman updates away! I hope others will find this usefull. Be careful!

[Solved] pacstrap fails on invalid signature for glibc

I'm trying a fresh install of Arch, but while following the beginner's guide, I encounter an issue when running `pacstrap /mnt base base-devel`.
When it has downloaded all packages and it finishes checking package integrity, I keep getting this:
error: glibc: signature from "Allan McRae <..>" is invalid
I have already tried `pacman-key --init` and `pacman-key --populate archlinux`. But that doesn't solve the issue.
I have also tried a different mirror, but that too didn't solve the issue.
What am I doing wrong? And how can I solve this problem.
*EDIT* Solved, I found out that pacstrap stored the database on /mnt/var/, by removing it and redownloading the packages, it solved my issue.
Last edited by madjo (2012-09-25 10:18:28)

For future reference, you don't have to delete the whole cache, just the package that is corrupt. (in /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/)

How to store any file in database using Forms? EVEN non OLE Compliant

I have to store and retrieve any file (not only image and OLE compatilble file) in the database and retrieve it later without using Forms and email it using java stored procedure. How do I do that?
I used OLE, but the problem with this is later when I retrieve it, some OLE specific control information is also retrieved, which means the data stored is not only pure data.
In the forms, I just want to give the file name and it should store that file into the database as we do with READ_IMAGE_FILE. Is there any way of achieving this?
Thank you.

[SOLVED] Pacman error: failed retrieving file : No address record

I just installed Arch on a x86 laptop using the cd as the package source. I wanted to do a net install, but when I attempted to (regardless of the mirror) I got many responses from pacman in tty7 of "No address record". This happened despite having a network connection and being able to ping any site from the cli.
After installing, I am still having the same problem. The laptop is plugged in via ethernet, and I can ping any site I want, but a call to pacman -Syyu just returns numerous errors such as
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.rit.edu : No address record
And just as a test, I was getting replies when pinging mirror.rit.edu.

Try the following steps:
1 - Set the VirtualBox Networking option to NAT
2 - Start the arch machine in the VirtualBox
3 - Edit /etc/rc.conf as a dynamic IP:
HOSTNAME="arch"
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
4 - Run dhcpcd
5 - Try to ping a couple of sites, or your router
If you still can't ping or anything, I suggest you start a new thread specifically about your problem. Include the output from "ipconfig -a". You're not going to get much help from posting in a thread marked "[SOLVED]".

Hello ,
I am new to ArchLinux and i have been struggeling with pacman today. I cant get it to download pakages from the mirrors. I have downloaded pakages through the archlinux.org website and used the command "pacman -U". But "pacman -S" only generates error messages.

I have tried several new pakages and one of them was chromium.

[Solved] "Failed retrieving file"

Just thought I would share my experience with this, since I didn't happen to find this particular solution on the forum.
For a week I was getting Pacman error messages "failed retrieving file" when trying to install some packages (like mplayer), though I was able to install other packages.
Pacman was returning the same error from multiple mirrors.
But after running the rankmirrors script as described in the "beginners' guide" in the Arch Wiki, I'm able to install the packages.
Maybe this is obvious to more experienced users. As a new user, I very much appreciate all the detailed info on the Arch Wiki, and the forums.
Thanks all!

Thanks a lot ;-]
It was just that what I was looking for =þ

IPV6 issues during the installation? "error: failed retrieving file"

Hi!
I currently try to install Arch on my Notebook using the Newbie Guide from the German Arch Wiki. Everything seemed to work fine until I got to the point of installing the base system using
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel wpa_supplicant
. The downloading process fails and returns about the same error message for every mirror:
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from MIRRORNAME : Resolving timed out after XY milliseconds
I already tried to use different mirrors, but none of them worked. I tried to reach them on another machine via the browser and could access them, so they're definitly up. It therefore could be my internet connection, but I'm connected via an ethernet cable and can ping e.g. google.com or archlinux.org without any problems. I looked up the issue on different forums and almost everyone said that it's an issue caused by ipv6; I tried different workarounds, but none of them worked since most of them were used on an Arch system that was already installed but had problems with pacman. Due to the fact that I'm encountering this problem on a CD that I try to install Arch with, most of the files I'm supposed to edit to disable ipv6 aren't there (yet?) - and the other workarounds just didn't work. I really want to install Arch on my system, but can't continue with the installation when pacman can't reach the mirrors.
I therefore need your help to solve this; like I said, it's probably an issue with ipv6, but I just can't find out how to disable it on my installation medium (I burned the archlinux-2014.11.01-dual.iso on it, if that matters).

Pacman - error: failed retrieving file

Hi.
I just installed Arch on my new laptop but when I first got to the stage where you need to use pacman for the first time, I got this error:
error: failed retrieving file
for all the mirrors I have uncommented in my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with reasons like "Not found", "File unavailable" or "Service not available".
I've tried several mirrors (all french mirrors and some others) but I got the feeling that it's more coming from my computer.
I first got this error when I tried to install Xorg, but it's the same when I try with someting else (I tried Firefox for instance). Some packages are downloaded but some aren't and so, I can't install anything.
I've checked my internet connexion which seems to work since I have 0% loss when I ping something.
I've also tried pacman -Syy but it didn't fix it.
So, I'm asking for your help, since I never had any problem at this stage of the installation before.
And by the way, I'm running on a VAIO laptop with Arch x86_64 installed via network an I used DHCP during the install.
Thanks

I don't think so, since I added nothing after installing. Unless there is a firewall in the hardware (I don't know anything about that). My computer is a Vaio VGN-SR and this morning, I was able to install both cpudyn and acpid on the first try.
And I installed Arch before with the same internet connexion and there was no problem so it must be the computer.

Intermittent pacman errors failed retrieving file

I got most of the way through the Beginners' Guide, but at the part where it has me upgrade the system using pacman I run into trouble. It can't always download the packages. Sometimes it works fine, but many of them return errors before they finish downloading. I always says some variation of "error: failed retrieving file '<filename>' from <mirror> : <reason>" Then it will attempt to finish downloading from another mirror. At the end of the whole thing it says that errors occurred and no packages were upgraded. It doesn't seem to matter what I put in mirrorlist. I've tried the rankmirrors script, Reflector, and picking some that look good from the mirror status page. I can ping the mirrors, so I know that works. my host name is the same in /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.conf. I've looked through the wiki and the forum and haven't found anything that works. I might have missed something, but I've been working on it all day.
If you need me to post any more information let me know.
Thanks,
ProNate

Sometimes, refreshing the mirrors with:
pacman -Sy
may resolve some of those errors.
EDIT: Scratch that above suggestion. You could possibly try using one trusted mirror (as stated below). For me, http://archlinux.unixheads.org seems to work quite well, so maybe use that.
I'd recommended only having one selected mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Although that is most likely unrelated to the issue at hand.
If I just use that mirror it fails to synchronize any databases.

Cannot sync pacman; error: failed retrieving file, No address record

Hello,
As a heads up, I'm trying not to repost
I've searched the forums but found nothing, I'll keep looking. I've read the front page news about the mirrorlist and tried using the old mirrorlist file. I've been on #archlinux on IRC. Nothing yet.
Here is an example of what I see:
root@dungeon pacman.d # pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : No address record
error: failed to update core (No address record)

error: failed to update extra (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'community.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : No address record
error: failed to update community (No address record)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
I've commented out all but one of the servers in the mirrorlost file to shorten the output.
Any ideas?

and now it's working again
but I don't understand how this all happened
AND: how can I force reflector to output a correct mirrorlist for 64bit?

Failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz'

Hello !
I'm trying to install Archlinux from another distro (currently gentoo) but when I have to do pacman_chroot -Syf base --ignore kernel26 (this uses the static version of pacman), I get nasty errors :
gyscos ArchLinux # pacman_chroot -Syf base --ignore kernel26
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : Connexion terminée par expiration du délai d'attente

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.ibiblio.org : Connexion terminée par expiration du délai d'attente
The error is in french, meaning "Connexion timed out"
I am behind a proxy, but it is configured in http_proxy and ftp_proxy vars, and in my ~/.wgetrc
Any idea what I have to do ? Thanks !
EDIT : if I try to wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686/core.db.tar.gz, it works just fine... so the problem shouldn't be my network...

Thanks so much ! It was using tmp/pacman.conf and not etc/pacman.conf.
Now it works so fine !!!
