[solved] Error: failed retrieveing core.db: Resolve timeout.

This warning and this error?

warning: could not fully load metadata for package pacman-5.2.0-2
error: failed to prepare transaction (invalid package)

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 18:38:02

It came from installing pacman with

 pacman --root=/mnt pacman

Now I tested

 pacman --sysroot /mnt pacman

and that worked and - Suu aslo works but not -Syu.

loqs · 2019-10-29 18:43:15

Please post the command and outputs together. It makes it easier for others to follow.
If I understand correctly the failing command is:

pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syu pacman

What output is that command producing?

Sorry. I'm writing alltings on my phone only, outputs, commands and comments.

 pacman --sysroot /mnt -S pacman

works

 pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syu pacman
error : failed retrieveing file core.db from ftp.acc.umu.se : Resolveing timed out after 10000ms

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 18:59:27

What about changing

 /etc/pacman.conf
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman

To

 /etc/pacman.conf
DBPath = /mnt/var/lib/pacman

loqs · 2019-10-29 19:07:16

Does the following work?

pacman --root /mnt -Syu pacman

See the tip box from pastebin to post from the console.

pacman -Qkk &> tmp.log

Then please upload tmp.log

Wow that's handy.
tmp.log
Next I upload the output for the pacman install.

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 19:36:27

pacman.log for the installation.

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 19:52:41

The output of find

loqs · 2019-10-29 20:13:07

Networking is configured / working in the live environment?

ping ftp.acc.umu.se

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 20:29:32

ping and wget.log

loqs · 2019-10-29 20:36:15

Only difference is pacman uses curl by default so

/usr/bin/curl -L -C - -f -o /dev/null http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/core.db

Yes that works

Misread the log as containing only one command not two. When not using --root command seems to work

Interrupt signal received

Looks like an issue with DNS resolution inside the chroot.

Looking at the 0 sized files and pacman -Qkk output the linux-headers package is not shown as installed by pacman but the package contents is.

pacman --root=/mnt --dbonly -S linux-headers

Or you could try booting the installed system now. See Pacman#Search_for_a_package_that_contains_a_specific_file to identify if a package owns the other 0 length files.

I'm going to reboot the computer now and see if it works.

loqs · 2019-10-29 21:40:40

Back to the installation media. Make sure /boot is mounted as well as the root filesystem.
Chroot in then `pacman -S linux` then try again.

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 21:41:54

Is modules.device loaded from UEFI?
No its a kernel module.

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 21:42:28

Ok. I will try that.

r00tr4t · 2019-10-29 22:23:22

log I get a lot of modification time mismatch.
And the zero length files are still present .

backup file: filesystem: /etc/fstab (Modification time mismatch)

Modification of configuration files due to system configuration or use of the package is expected.

But I think I forgot to mount the UEFI partition last time.
