KDE installation - failed to commit transaction[SOLVED]
I tried to install kde and kde-meta (in addition to xorg) as mentioned in the wiki. A lot of packages were downloaded but at time of installation, following is the error:
...
Total Installed Size: 1476.67 MiBProceed with installation? [Y/n]
(357/357) checking package integrity [###########################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
[abcd@myhost ~]$
According to this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128378 and this entry in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman-key I ran the command 'sudo pacman-key --init' after making change in pacman.conf file: 'SigLevel = Optional TrustAll'. After this, it asked for confirmation to import many keys, but still 'sudo pacman -S kde' is not working. Still the message is the same: "failed to commit transaction...". I am not sure where things are going wrong.

Re: KDE installation - failed to commit transaction[SOLVED]
It could potentially be a corrupted package. Running pacman in debug mode (--debug) should tell you which package the integrity check is failing on. Remove that package from your pacman cache and then try installing again (so the package gets downloaded again).

Re: KDE installation - failed to commit transaction[SOLVED]
Thanks for helping.
I checked in /var/cache/pacman/pkg folder and one pkg was only partly downloaded. Replacing that corrected the problem. --debug command was telling that there are corrupted or invalid packages but did not specify which was the culprit package.
The kde and kde-meta are finally installed and working well.
