Package install fails (cannot resolve gpgme)

shaurz · 2012-01-16 22:30:44

I am using the latest netinstall image (2011.08.19)

When I get to installing packages, I get this error:

Cannot resolve "gpgme", a dependency of "pacman"

It's because it's in [extra].

Please try again, gpgme has just been moved to [core] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/gpgme/

I've just tried and run into the same issue.

Refresh your mirrors before you try. You can always issue a pacman update in another tty (in the installer).

That seems to be working. I'll confirm in a bit.

Never-mind, updating the install environment is definitely not working.

While the install environment updates just like any other already installed arch system, once I get it all up to date, running the install script breaks. /arch/setup starts the install dialog like normal, but when I go to select the first step, I get an error:

ERROR: ask_checklist makes only sense if you specify at least 1 thing (tag,item and ON/OFF switch)

after which I get kicked back out to the shell. I'm assuming that something I updated isn't backwards compatible with something in /arch/setup, but that's as far as my knowledge of this goes.

If anyone else has ideas, I'll give them a shot.

Okay, so now I decided to just try it without running any upgrades in the install environment, like normal, and I ran into the same error as the OP and I had run into before. This time, however, I looked away for a few minutes after seeing the error and when I looked back, it was proceeding to download packages anyways.

Perhaps there really is no problem, just error messages? We'll see when I'm done.

Well, everything is done installing and I've rebooted with no catastrophic failures, so I'd say that this was all just a lot of crying wolf and some meaningless error messages.

shaurz, is it working for you too?

I decided to just use the core install image instead.
