Missing *db.sig files

Whenever I tried to update with the command :

sudo pacman -Syu

It returns :

error: multilib: missing required signature
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib                                                         171,0 KiB  1555 KiB/s 00:00 [######################################################] 100%
error: failed retrieving file 'multilib.db.sig' from ftp.free.org : The requested URL returned error: 404
error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)

*the error show only the case for multilib but it's also the same for all repos

I add an issue before which I solve running :

rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync/  

And now I noticed that all *.db.sig file are gone.

So I tried in pacman.conf

Siglevel = Required DatabaseNever

But pacman still looking for sig files which return 404 error on mirror links

So I tried to update many times mirrors and still get the same issue.

Is there a way to retrieve *db.sig files ? and if we can't how to really tell pacman to ignore it ?

Re: Missing *db.sig files

There are no database signatures for the official repos. What all is in /var/lib/pacman/sync right now? What's all in pacman.conf?

Re: Missing *db.sig files

Is this only happening with multilib (or was that just the only db with an update)?  Unless something has changed recently, there is no way to retrieve db.sig files as there is no such thing: the databases aren't signed.

But in any case, post your pacman.conf and verbose pacman output.

Re: Missing *db.sig files

The databases aren't signed. What's the output of...

pacman-conf

What issue did you 'solve' by deleting that?

What db.sig files? As far as I know, there still are none. What you've deleted are the .db files.

Re: Missing *db.sig files

Sorry, nevermind
My pacman.conf was incorrect

Re: Missing *db.sig files

Yup, variable names are case-sensitive
