unable to run "pacman -Syu"

[ghost]

I cant update or install, i have gereated a public keyring thingy, this is what happens when i try to run "pacman -Syu" after a fresh reinstall

https://pastebin.com/VbiBsteU

[ghost]

Alright, i sorta fixed this by manually installing the files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg with "pacman -U ./*"

[FunctionalHacker]

Same thing here. Manually installed the packages in the cache, but we'll have to see when the next updates come through if this is a real fix

EDIT: tried to install some new packages and I still have the issue. Pacman was complaining that the key from builder@archlinuxarm.org is unknown trust. I trusted that but still get error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Perhaps this is a problem in the alarm repository

[FreshMosh]

At least on my device it was just an uninitialized keyring.
Therefore just do

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm

and try again with pacman -Syu

[FunctionalHacker]

Thanks a lot, works now!

[ghost]

That works

[ghost]

And can an ADMIN close this?

[FunctionalHacker]

Why don't you close it yourself?

[ghost]

Because i dont know how

[tuxr]

Thank you FreshMosh, I just installed and was running into the same issue. This resolved for me as well.

[fosslinux]

@Zach-15803 next to the comment button, there is a close button

[abicorios]

It is not work for me

[FreshMosh]

@abicorios what exactly is not working for you?

[abicorios]

Now I understand. Working case in Termux is next:

pkg install git
cd && git clone https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch
bash TermuxArch/setupTermuxArch.sh
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm
pacman -Syu

My mistake was next:

pkg install git
cd && git clone https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch
bash TermuxArch/setupTermuxArch.sh
pacman -Syu

And it was answer

warning: Public keyring not found; have you run 'pacman-key --init'?

So I run:

pacman-key --init
pacman -Syu 

And it was next:

error: gcc-libs: signature from "Arch Linux ARM Build System <builder@archlinuxarm.org>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gcc-libs-8.1.1+20180531-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

And I such

y

So I deleted all packages and TermuxArch was broken by my hands. Cool story. Yeah?

[SDRausty]

Hopefully https://sdrausty.github.io/TermuxArch/docs/outputarmv720180722.txt shall be of use; Running keys twice resolved the errors.

[abicorios]

Okay, okay. But you can run keys twice by install-script automaticaly. Why no?

[SDRausty]

@abicorios this install Arch Linux, then cannot install Arch Linux in Termux PRoot because of keyrings is a recently acquired behavior of Arch Linux in Termux PRoot that was not present earlier. I am fairly sure that the keyring shouldn't be required for users. As far as being an option for users...

[abicorios]

Ok.

1. I install TermuxArch by setupTermuxArch.sh
2. I have option keys.
   But if I do not run keys so pacman -Syu produce errors. If keys is option, so how can I run pacman -Syu without keys and without errors? What is another option case? Is it disabling of key-check in some configs?

[jlmess77]

The fix is to add the SigLevel like this.

[archstrike]
Server = https://mirror.archstrike.org/$arch/$repo

[blackarch]
Server = http://blackarch.org/blackarch/$repo/os/$arch
SigLevel = Never

[SDRausty]

This 6c9c119 commit should resolve the keyring issue.

[SDRausty]

setupTermuxArch.sh refresh can now be used to (re)generate keys too: https://sdrausty.github.io/TermuxArch/docs/outputarmv720180725refresh.txt

Is it because I have aarch64?

[FreshMosh]

@abicorios Run keys first in order to use pacman. Or reinstall TermuxArch entirely.

[SDRausty]

@abicorios Running keys as @FreshMosh says is recommended. Try setupTermuxArch.sh refresh before reinstalling.

[abicorios]

TermuxArch Keys: DONE

[FreshMosh]

@abicorios Please try sdrausty's solution and run in your Termux setupTermuxArch.sh refresh to refresh your TermuxArch installation.

[SDRausty]

This snippet should be useful too: $ startarch c pacman -Syyuu

Updating -S to read -Syyuu in keys might help also.

[SDRausty]

How'd your databases get messed up @abicorios?

error: database 'core' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'extra' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'community' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'alarm' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

[abicorios]

"How'd your databases get messed up @abicorios?"
I do not know. I installed Termux Arch, and run keys. May be it depends on a mirror.

[abicorios]

It was better before fix commit. Last fix broke Arch for me.

[abicorios]

Which mirror is working for you? Maybe. I need nice mirror to exclude database error.

[FreshMosh]

@abicorios
Have you already tried the provided solutions?
If so, what was the output
If not, please try sdrausty's newly provided refresh-switch like
setupTermuxArch.sh refresh
Of course you may need to update your setupTermuxArch.sh-script in beforehand.

Or, if anything else fails, please completely delete the install directory of Arch in Termux and run the up-to-date setupTermuxArch.sh.

Anyway: to anwser your question:

Server = http://de4.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/$arch/$repo```

[abicorios]

Yes, I already tried all provided solutions.

keys

bash TermuxArch/setupTermuxArch.sh refresh

startarch c pacman -Syyuu

Updating -S to read -Syyuu in keys was not help.

rm -rf TermuxArch
git clone https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch
bash TermuxArch/setupTermuxArch.sh 

And I have same result:

error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: database 'core' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

error: database 'community' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'alarm' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'aur' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

[SDRausty]

@abicorios what does bash setupTermuxArch.sh debug say?

It also appears that you misinterpreted what @FreshMosh said:

please completely delete the install directory of Arch in Termux

Use git pull to update the git repository. Deleting and recloning the repository was unnecessary:

rm -rf TermuxArch
git clone https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch
bash TermuxArch/setupTermuxArch.sh 

There shouldn't be any reason to delete it. More information about working with git repositories at this link: Instructional GitHub and Git Foundations Videos Can Be Downloaded for Viewing at Your Leisure.

When setupTermuxArch.sh asks:

$ bash setupTermuxArch.sh                                                       
TermuxArch: DIRECTORY WARNING!  /data/data/com.termux/files/home/arch/ directory detected.  Termux Arch installation shall continue.  If in doubt, answer yes.                                                                                  Uninstall /data/data/com.termux/files/home/arch? [Y|n]
Uninstall /data/data/com.termux/files/home/arch? [Y|n]

Simply tap for yes.

[abicorios]

No, I made bash SetupTermuxArch.sh uninstall
setupTermuxArchDebug9718.log

[abicorios]

I reinstall Termux, and it is not help me.
