[SOLVED]pacstrap fails during Arch install

I'm installing Arch linux on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 I use a Lan cabel for internet  and I generated a mirrorlist with reflector (http and https protocols and sorted by download speed)
Arch is my first distro and I don't know what's important so I wrote down everything.
I ran trough the installatuon guide using Bios and after pacstrap failed several times with wifi due to the mirrors not responding I connected to the router with a Lan cabel and ran 'pacstrap /mnt base linux-zen linux-firmware' and it installed everything exept the audit-3.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and gnupg-2.2.27-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zs packages
I ran it a second time and the output after the proceed with installation question was:

::Retrieving packages...

Why did you manually generate a mirrorlist with reflector, when that happens automatically anyway? What arguments did you use?

Re: [SOLVED]pacstrap fails during Arch install

I'm facing the same problem here. Need to format and reinstall my system and pacstrap is giving me this error.

corrupted (invalid or corrupted (package signature)).

I spent all the last day and today trying to fix with:

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
pacman-lkey --refresh-keys

re-installing archlinux-keyring

But some of the packages generates this error. Don't know what to do.

Tks...

Ah, and I did not touched the mirrolist...  I tried with 2021-06-01 and 2021-05-01 imagens...both has the same situation.

Re: [SOLVED]pacstrap fails during Arch install

Perhaps it is Evowise's fault? There are errors regarding Evowise in Hidasi Mate and Evowise is on top of the default mirrorlist so Rafael used that mirror too. Using reflector with "--country" options and ensuring that Evowise is not there may fix the issue.

I didn't know that it generates automatically and i used

$ reflector --country 'Hungary' --protocol http --protocol -https -sort rate -save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Re: [SOLVED]pacstrap fails during Arch install

--latest and/or --age are very useful additions when using reflector .

You have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Reflector and its  manpage ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
