[SOLVED]gtk-layer-shell-0.6.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted[

Error is

File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gtk-layer-shell-0.6.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted 

The process prompts to delete the file. I confirm, repeat the

pacman -Syu

and it fails again.

I have

 sudo rm  /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gtk-layer-shell-0.6.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

and the file is successfully removed, however on running pacman again, we encounter the same error.

I generated a new mirror list and uncommented the world wide mirrors. After running pacman again, I see

Error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db: Unrecognized archive format

Type this into google..

core.db: Unrecognized archive format site:bbs.archlinux.org

I think you should try to get used to doing this sort of thing

Ahh... yah. I got a little hair-trigger there, sorry.

I've fixed that https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=135310,

Regenerated mirror list. Enabled a few and then switched to enable others but still with the same error.

Right back where we started.

Anyway, thanks for your time. I'll keep wacking at it.

Re: [SOLVED]gtk-layer-shell-0.6.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted[

Is the error the one below?

error: gtk-layer-shell: signature from "Brett Cornwall <brett@i--b.com>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gtk-layer-shell-0.6.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

If so and if the following shows the key is exired

pacman-key --list-keys brett@i--b.com

Update the archlinux-keyring package before performing a full system update.

Yes. That is it. I found the fix here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=268496

# pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
# pacman -Syy
# pacman -Syu

You do not need pacman -Syy in your solution.  Please remember to mark your thread as solved.
