[SOLVED] Pacman sync trying to get signatures but they are not on the

I just noticed that pacman -Sy fetches the *.db and then tries to fetch the corresponding *.db.sig file but all the *.db.sig files are missing on the servers (error 404). I edited the mirrorlist and tried about 5 different servers. No server holds that file but pacman still tries to get them.

So what's happening here? Should I be concerned about that?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman sync trying to get signatures but they are not on the

The databases for the official repositories are not signed so the files *.db.sig do not exist, that's why the servers return error 404 on those files: see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45657.

The actual problem is that pacman should ignore the error, unless you are using a custom XferCommand (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=204167)... can you please post the content of your /etc/pacman.conf?

Alright, that explains it. Yes I have modified my XferCommand to using wget with bandwidth limiting...

Thanks.
