Chaotic-keyring and chaotic-mirrorlist packages missing

Hopefully it’s fixed by tomorrow!

FWIW - this is maybe a better question for the Garuda guys in house or even at their forum, as that’s their own repos. If it’s notfixed yet, I’m sure it will be up and going again soon.

There’s also https://t.me/s/chaotic_aur to keep an eye on.

Suffice to say that a planned cleanup operation ran into an unexpected glitch, and unavailable persons have contributed to delays in attempts to recover the situation.

For now, just comment out chaotic-aur in your /etc/pacman.conf (or otherwise disable checking) to allow all else to operate. It is being worked on (hard) to bring it back…

JimPix · February 19, 2022, 10:05pm

I see. That’s perfectly fine!
I’m sure it’ll be fixed by tomorrow morning

freebird54 · February 19, 2022, 10:08pm

I am not so sure about the timeline, but it IS being worked on - much of it in the European time zones - so they might time out before success is achieved…and have to continue tomorrow - but they ARE good…

Actually the Chaotic AUR is not a Garuda specific project, although we rely heavily on it with our distro.

I believe this issue started with the AUR going down for a short while. This delayed the scheduled Chaotic AUR package rebuilds, so everything fell behind schedule. Hopefully it will be resolved very soon.

Ah, I was sure it was your in house repo, my apologies on that one. The AUR goes down occasionally - although it’s usually Manjaro hahaha.

Actually, as far as I can tell the mirrors are busy syncing again now. Mine’s up! - and others are chugging away…

YMMV - but if you use mine you are probably back in business.

Great!

Summary

[xxx@arch tmp]$ rankmirrors -t chaotic-mirrorlist
Querying servers. This may take some time…

JimPix · February 20, 2022, 1:41pm

The packages are still marked as missing for me…
rankmirrors doesn’t work either

[matt@mpc ~]$ rankmirrors -t chaotic-mirrorlist
'chaotic-mirrorlist' does not exist.

You probably need to pass it the full path to the mirrorlist file.

JimPix · February 20, 2022, 1:52pm

Er…

dalto · February 20, 2022, 1:57pm

Do you have a proxy server or something otherwise filtering https traffic?

EOS · February 20, 2022, 1:57pm

You need to edit that file before use rankmirror.
Take backup or copy of it and then run:
sed -i 's/$repo/chaotic-aur/g;s/$arch/x86_64/g' chaotic-mirrorlist OR that name of the copy filename

Finally, make sure that the original file is back in use if you modified it.

JimPix · February 20, 2022, 1:57pm

No, I don’t

JimPix · February 20, 2022, 2:01pm

Using your command and then rerunning rankmirror makes things reachable but when I go back to the original mirrorlist it’s unreachable again.
The two chaotic packages are missing using both mirrorlists

JimPix · February 20, 2022, 2:02pm

Also tried reinstalling the chaotic repo which didn’t fix it

EOS · February 20, 2022, 2:15pm

Have you tried?

sudo pacman -Sy gnupg archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring && sudo pacman -Syu

JimPix · February 20, 2022, 2:17pm

Still missing…
