[SOLVED] Files corrupted when installing packages

nilesOien · 2015-05-08 17:35:44

I've been using arch for about six months now, I like it very much but I've run into a problem. I suspect it could be that coming from Ubuntu, I'm not used to Arch's "rolling release" approach and I've let things get out of date, but I'd like to have that confirmed before I update my whole system.

I am having trouble installing the apache web server, specifically the download seems to go OK but then pacman says the files are corrupt :

root> pacman -S apache

I got a similar result a couple of days ago when trying to install 'gdb'. I tried making http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch the first server in my mirrorlist file, but no change. I'm wondering if maybe my version of arch is just outdated and I need to upgrade with 'pacman -Syu' ? Currently uname -a shows "Linux bigsalad 3.18.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 30 07:31:50 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux". As far as I can see, it's either that I'm out of date, or for some random reason the two packages I've happened to try in the last few days have issues. If it's the latter, I'd rather not over react with "pacman -Syu".

Anyone have any thoughts? This is my first post here so apologies in advance if it isn't quite right.

Thanks,

Niles.

Yes, pacman -Syu is nearly always a good idea and will most likely solve your problem. Never run pacman -Sy unless you know what you're doing.

OK, now I'm super confused.

I tried both "pacman-key --refresh-keys", and after that failed, "pacman -Syu". Neither worked. The full output from refreshing the keys is below :

root> pacman-key --refresh-keys
gpg: refreshing 77 keys from hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/root/.gnupg/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No dirmngr
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.

Not being very experienced with keys, I didn't pursue that further.

And pacman -Syu failed - it seemed to download everything, but then convince itself that the keys were invalid (see below). I'm not at all experienced with keys, so that may be the problem. Please help!!! My arch systems have been running fine, but I don't seem to be able to upgrade, which seems to be a requisite for installing new packages? I'm lost!!

Install archlinux-keyring first (pacman -S archlinux-keyring), then see if it will let you update.

Please edit your post.
When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Try https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1479782

What's the output of

grep CacheDir /etc/pacman.conf
ls  /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*.part

Thanks, I edited my posts as you suggested, Karol. My apologies.

Installing archlinux-keyring did the trick, the upgrade went through. I can see, though, that I'm going to have to educate myself about keys. I'll read links you posted, Karol.

The 'ls' command you posted shows no files (it looks like it's looking for partial package downloads, and there are none) and the grep shows only one commented out line :

#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

I suspect that's a bit irrelevant, since I did it after the upgrade went through, but I wanted to be complete.

I can't see how to mark this as solved, which as far as I'm concerned it is, I'm assuming that's a site admin option. Thank you both for your time!

Edit the title of your first post and add [SOLVED] at the beginning of the title.

Done, thanks, didn't realize editing the first post would give me access to the title. Thanks all!
