Mod note: Moving to testing

christooss · 2017-03-09 22:56:42

For now you can open /etc/pacman.conf and write

IgnorePkg=ca-certificates-utils

I haven't tried the stuff from the comment on the bug cause I don't have old packages on the system. Thats why now this is the option I run with.

That is bad advice. Just remove the file and install the new certs.

ArchOneLove · 2017-03-10 15:22:41

#rm /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
pacman -Syu

The recommended approach is in the bug report referenced in post #2 above.

doesnt work for me:

error: failed to update testing (download library error)
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from delta.archlinux.fr : error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
CApath: none

Suggested workaround by heftig:

pacman -Syuw
rm /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
pacman -Su

Worked for me. Not sure why it caused you problems.

Deleting that file before downloading updates will fail if you are using an https server.

424778940 · 2017-03-16 03:05:57

man, just "sudo pacman -Syu --force"

Don't be an idiot.

showgood163 · 2017-03-16 03:12:50

Thanks for the information from #2 and the workaround from #8

WorMzy · 2017-03-16 03:13:08

No, do not. Never --force a full system upgrade. Never --force anything unless you know what you are doing, and there is no better way to accomplish your goal. And finally, never tell other people to --force anything without any reasoning or explanation.

EDIT: slow...

Is this expected behaviour?

jasonwryan · 2017-03-16 07:17:08

It has been pushed to [core], that is why the news item was published.

Scimmia · 2017-03-16 07:17:23

Yes, it is, as has been explained in this thread and in the new item on the front page.

Got the same error on today's updates. This method worked perfect for me. Just noting the result for other users that may have the same issue.

Scimmia · 2017-03-16 15:16:46

Don't run -Syu after removing the file. It can get you into trouble if there have been more updates on the mirror in the mean time.

bandithijo · 2017-03-16 17:22:26

Thank you it works for me.

Probably not fundamentally different, but

# pacman -Rdd ca-certificates-utils
# pacman -S ca-certificates-utils
# pacman -Syu

worked fine for me, and gets around the awkward part where you delete a file manually (something I like to avoid just to nice to the package manager)

jasonwryan · 2017-03-16 17:47:41

Rather than posting here with empty posts, or contrived (and in some cases absurd) alternatives, just read the News.
