[SOLVED] All packages PGP signature corrupted in chroot environment

Velcrone · 2022-07-13 06:15:29

Hi!
While updating, my computer crashed causing grub to give the following error while booting up:

Loading kernel linux…
error: file /boot/vmlinuz-linux' not found.
Loading initial ramdisk…
error: you need to load the kernel first.
Press any key to continue…

So I booted up a liveusb and mounted my file system in arch-chroot so I could run pacman -Syu to hopefully fix the problem.
-first I mounted the the root file system
-then in opened in arch-chroot
-from here everything seemed to be running correctly
-I used iwctl to connect to the Wi-Fi (and verified I could ping 1.1.1.1)
-however whenever I ran pacman -Syu ever single package (including archlinux-keyring which I tried updating separately) gave the following error:
invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)

Any help would greatly appreciated!

Given the initial kernel problem, they might be actually corrupted, clear the cache first.

Alternatively don't chroot: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … an_upgrade

Unfortunately, neither of those solutions worked.

The first solution didn’t work. All the packages continued to be corrupted, even when I connected via Ethernet. This honestly doesn’t surprise because Pacman deletes all the corrupted packages when they’re corrupted.

When I tried the second (again connected to Ethernet), it would fail to resolve all the hosts to download the databases and exit with the following error:
“Error failed to synchronize all databases (invalids url for server) . This didn’t happen if I tried refreshing without changing sysroot. I tried changing the resolve.conf on the live system to 1.1.1.1 but that didn’t work either.

Please post the output of the following from the chroot

# pacman -S --debug archlinux-keyring
# pacman-key --list-keys Master

See the first link in seth's signature to post the output from the chroot.

We need the actual error to know what's going on. "invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)" is the result of a previous error.

Velcrone · 2022-07-14 04:50:50

Here is the output for pacman -S --debug archlinux-keyring https://pastebin.mozilla.org/o95J6XEq

The output for pacman-key -list-keys Master was considerably shorter lol:
gpg: error reading key: No public key
==› ERROR: A specified key could not be listed.

Thank you for your help!

The output for pacman-key -list-keys Master was considerably shorter lol:

The "#" prompt indicates to run this as root, did you?

sudo pacman-key --list-keys Master

Velcrone · 2022-07-14 18:42:14

Yes I did. I also tried again to double check and the output was the same. There are also a lot of other keys that list when I run it with just --list-keys.

sudo pacman-key --list-keys pacman@localhost

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … he_keyring
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … aster_keys

You can also

LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'

because your filesystem is probably heavily corrupted.

Thank you!
I was able to rebuild my master keys with the commands you listed. pacman-key --list-keys master now returns all the master keys. However I’m still getting the same corrupted package error. I tried:
-deleting all the .part files with the find command you listed
-re importing keys with pacman-key --refresh-keys
Unfortunately neither of those made a difference.

seth · 2022-07-14 20:34:08

Can you update archlinux-keyring?
If not, what's the actual error message?

Velcrone · 2022-07-14 23:17:49

I cannot update archlinux-keyring. Here’s the error: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/2Jj5TOgT/

loqs · 2022-07-14 23:41:29

Have you tried

# pacman-key --populate

Package_signing#Verifying_the_master_keys
Edit:
If that does not work what is the trust on the master keys?

Thank you all for your help!
I ended up deleting my gnupg folder:

rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg

Then I initialized and populated my keyring:

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

Then I cleared my cache:

pacman -Sc

Finally I updated my arch keyring then the whole system:

pacman -S archlinux-keyring
pacman -Syyuu

For any future internet travelers, here's the full process:
1. Make a arch live USB then boot to it.

mount /dev/rootdrive /mnt(ex. /dev/sda2)
arch-chroot /mnt

Connect to the internet(using ethernet or iwctl) Then:

rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init 
pacman-key --populate
pacman -Sc
pacman -S archlinux-keyring
pacman -Syyuu

Thanks everyone for your help!!
