Re: pacman -Syu -> all corrupted

You might have to clean out the cache and try to down load again if you haven't already, When I have a problem like that I run pacman -Scc which deletes all the packages in the cache and it usually fixes the problem.

Re: pacman -Syu -> all corrupted

You can run the sortmirrors script. This will find the quickest mirrors to your computer. Otherwise, if that doesn't work, you can edit the mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/

The sortmirrors script is not a good idea, it breaks the mirrors somtimes...

@eduac

go into /etc/pacman.d/

Thera are a few files called "current" "extra" usw

Oppen currend and extra with your editor, and enable/diasable mirrors with comment out ( the # at the beginning)

Re: pacman -Syu -> all corrupted

You might want to have a look here at drakosha's pacman sorting script. I prefer it over sortmirrors.

This suggests you are using the initial download method of pacman.
Many users (specially when you use ftp-mirrors) get better and more stable results by using wget to download the packages.

As root open /etc/pacman.conf in your favorite text editor
Look for this line in general options section :

#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

Remove the # to have pacman use wget.

Re: pacman -Syu -> all corrupted

Perhaps.....pacman -Sy pacman.....

Then ..... pacman -Scc....

Then pacman -Syu.

Every time corrupt shows, ...pacman -Scc

Re: pacman -Syu -> all corrupted

If you have another harddrive in the computer, you could mount /var/cache/pacman/pkg to it and see if it works.  Or even mount it to a usb memory card and try a small package, just to see if it works.

No idea, just a thought...

Re: pacman -Syu -> all corrupted

Did you ever get this working?

Another thing to try...

After trying to install a package, like bind from an earlier post.

pacman -S bind

After it has failed, try adding it like this.

# pacman -A /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bind-9.3.3-1.pkg.tar.gz

My thought is that maybe your download is fine, and it is the "check package integrity..." that is not working right.  Might help to find the problem.

Re: pacman -Syu -> all corrupted

OK, looks to me like your packages are fine, but the integrity checking isn't working right.

You might try reinstalling pacman.  I think you can use –Sf to force the update.
Of course you still will probably have to install it from the cache after it is downloaded

# pacman –Sf pacman
# pacman –Sf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-2.9.8-4.pkg.tar.gz

If that still doesn't get it working, then pacman is must be using something else to do the checksum. I assume MD5 is used, but I have no idea how pacman uses it. 

Anybody else have any ideas?
