Issue at 'pacman -Syu'

Hi there!

I get the following issue when I do an 'pacman -Syu' on my Arch Linux Host:

Why couldn't I update my Arch Linux Installation?

Try generating a new mirrorlist and running `pacman -Syyu`.

To generate a new mirror use the pacman mirror list generator web page or use a tool like rate-mirrors.

Lone_Wolf · 2025-07-01 12:19:14

fluffy-bunny, please use code tags for program output to make things better readable.
Edit your opening post to achieve this.

Fehler: Der Vorgang konnte nicht durchgeführt werden (Konnte Paket nicht finden oder lesen)

That suggests this is a problem on your machine, not a mirror issue .

Please post the output of df -h and sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pacman --debug -Syu

@Lone_Wolf

Thanks for the tip with the Code-Part !

df -h shows the following:

And 'sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pacman --debug -Syu' shows the following:

Sorry, I'm not sure how I can redirect the whole output into an file
With 'sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pacman --debug -Syu > pacman_error' or 'sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pacman --debug -Syu >> pacman_error' it doesn't work and I only get the output of the link....

Lone_Wolf · 2025-07-01 13:09:01

My mistake, try

sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pacman -Syu --debug |& cat -n  >> pacman-log.txt

@fluffy-bunny you can use the script specially designed for trouble-free system update: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/simple-system-update
It downloads the mirrorlist based on your location and uses the most fast mirrors for update.

Please stop promoting this really bad 'solution'. Especially when it has nothing at all to do with the issue in the thread. At this point, this is just spam.

Mechanicus · 2025-07-01 17:26:02

@Scimmia good luck then with the "good" solutions.
Integrity error means the files are corrupted in the file-system. First sensible step is to perform the cleanup. Second logical step is to update gnupg, archlinux-keyring and gnome-keyring. And only after that the full system update will successfully complete.

First step is to figure what's actually going on => https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p2249358 (though, https://porkmail.org/era/unix/award#cat )
The point of that is not to update the system, but trace the failure.
Second step is to inspect the affected package (notably hash) and the relevant mirrors at use (why is this broken)
Third step tbd from there: if the drive is falling apart, you don't want to write anything from there.

signature/keyring related errors would typically look different (though LC_ALL might help greatly with this, I've never run arch localized )
Also what makes you believe the OP is using GKR at all?

I took a glimpse at your script, if you want to discuss all the things Scimmia doesn't like about it, feel free to open a thread in the programming and scripting board.
Or you just take your ball and go home to play by yourself.

I couldn't find the good solution, so posted one that atleast worked.

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pacman -Syu --debug > pacman-log.txt 2>&1

Looks like that gives the desired output, or is more needed ?

Edit: removed unnecessary =

I'd probably use tee and (on bash/zsh, |& isn't posix)

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pacman -Syu --debug |& tee pacman-log.txt

(there's one "=" too much in your line)

Don't take the cat abuse posts too serious - there's an entire meme-page dedicated to it because it happens A LOT (my 0x0.st textblock posts abuse cat so I can use it for files and commands alike

Ah, thanks for correcting the command ... Now I have the following output in my 'pacman-log.txt' :

Strange.... Now I've removed the file 'var/cache/pacman/pkg/pkgconf-2.5.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.part' and now I get the following:

We're not gonna need the debug output for now if you run into more problems.

THANKS a lot!

Now it looks better and the 'pacman -Syu' worked after doing this:

# pacman -Rdd linux-firmware
# pacman -Syu linux-firmware

The Output is the following:

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Was a weird bug because of a full-size .part download (completed but not renamed?)
