Failed to install libcap[SOLVED]

When I was installing arch on my laptop after downloading of base I got this any idea?

downloading required keys...
:: Import PGP key 4096R/B81B051F2Dxxxx72D77A, "Seblu <seblu@seblu.net>", created 2011-11-11 [y/n]

error occured no packages were upgraded
==>ERROR: failed to install packages to new root
pacstrap /mnt base 4.00 s user 7.11s system 2% cpu 9:00.76 total

All I had to do is run pacman-key --refresh-keys to solve the problem.

Re: Failed to install libcap[SOLVED]

You're using an old ISO. Either update it, update the archlinux-keyring package on the ISO, or refresh the keyring.

How to do I update archlinux-keyring?

Go to the pacman wiki page, search for 'unknown trust', follow the instructions.

Re: Failed to install libcap[SOLVED]

Read carefully. Your problem is listed right there.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … g_PGP_keys

If installing Arch with an outdated ISO, you are likely prompted to import PGP keys. Agree to download the key to proceed. If you are unable to add the PGP key successfully, update the keyring or upgrade archlinux-keyring (see above).

Probably all you needed to do was press 'y' and Enter.

It was doing automatically so I wasn't given option to press either y or n.

Re: Failed to install libcap[SOLVED]

How were you doing it "automatically"? What command were you running?

The pacstrap command automatically confirms by default unless the -i switch is used.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
