[SOLVED] _____ is invalid or corrupted.

ds2369 · 2011-08-21 06:10:39

Hello, I installed Arch last night on my netbook and everything has been going great until now.
I tried to install flashplugin but ran into a conflict between krb5 and heimdal.
I tried to fix it with a system upgrade, but now nothing will install.
It will download the packages but when it goes to install it it says the package is invalid or corrupted.

For example,

[ds2369@myhost /]$ sudo pacman -S python-distribute
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (2): python-3.2.1-1  python-distribute-0.6.19-1

[ds2369@myhost /]$

Any help is very appreciated, thanks.

Edit: I guess it isn't all packages because I was just able to install cowsay just fine. But it will still give the error for (probably all) the packages it downloads in the system upgrade.

IS it possible your mirrors are out of date? I use reflector to to get the most up-to-date mirrors.

You may as well simply use the Pacman Mirrorlist Generator page.

ds2369 · 2011-08-21 07:19:50

I can't install Reflector right now (it's dependent on Python, which also won't install), but I'll definitely give it a go once this is sorted out.

The mirror list I'm using was generated from that page. I believe the mirror I'm currently using is from kernel.org. I'll start trying some other ones.

Edit: I keep trying different mirrors but it's all the same. It downloads then says the packages are corrupt.

pacman -Scc then try again.

Edit: you should do -Syu foobar btw.

My advice:

1) Edit your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to contain as the first entry this mirror (which is updated quite regularly):

Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Then remove current cached packages, refresh, and update.

# pacman -Scc  <<answer yes to all questions and know that this will delete ALL of your stored packages>>
# pacman -Syy
# pacman -Syu

Did you create a symlink to liblzma.so.5 to fix a missing library issue?

Trying this mirror right now, will edit when it's finished..

Edit: Nope.

Yes, I believe so. Something broke, I forgot what exactly (I think it was one of pacman's dependencies), and the way to fix it was doing that I think.

Well, that is your issue... you screwed your system by symlinking libraries...

pacman -S pacman libarchive xz

And make sure you remove any /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0 symlink you made.

Thanks for the help. How do I remove a symlink?
