Pacman "key could not be looked up remotely", "run-parts: key unknown"

jiewmeng · 2012-02-11 04:29:14

I am getting errors shown when running `pacman -Syu`

Whats wrong & how can I fix this?

UPDATE

OK, this is solved by

mv /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew /etc/pacman.conf

Then probably you need to uncomment ... below ... in pacman.conf

SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

Then

pacman -S filesystem --force

And

rm /etc/profile.d/locale.sh

It's better to post just the output instead of a screenshot.

Post your pacman.conf.
There are many topics like this on the forums.

I can't install anything. Keep getting that error

You should be able to install packages, but you need to download them manually [1] and install with 'pacman -U packagename'.

[1] Click 'Download from mirror', under 'Package Actions' in the top right http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … wgetpaste/

I tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … ix_this.3F

But it fails still. My pacman.conf (screenshots, for now)

What version of pacman are you running? The configs look like pre-pacman 4. If you're running pacman 4, please merge the pacnew files first.

jiewmeng · 2012-02-12 03:37:21

I am using Pacman 4.0.1. How do I merge them?

I noticed the files are similar, so I just `mv`-ed them to override the old. Is it all right? It appears to work as now I have a different error

btw, do I need to keep doing this all the time? Overwriting/merging files when I update something?

UPDATE

I think I solved that. I need to do `pacman -S filesystem --force` then remove the locale.sh

If you don't install using the latest netinstall image but upgrade from an older version or use core image, you have to read all the news items, sometimes months back: http://www.archlinux.org/news/filesyste … -required/

Yes, manual merging is a pretty often occurrence https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … save_Files
