error: GPGME error: No data error: failed to synchronize all databases (unexpected error)
Please help.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried both.
still not working.
You could try this command:
eos-update --keyrings-reset
Edit: note that I wouldn’t recommend playing with SigLevel values.
Thanks.
I am getting eos-update: unrecognized option '--keyrings-reset'.
OK, you probably have an older version of package eos-bash-shared.
Instead you can run commands
sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/gnupg /root/pacman-key.bak
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux endeavouros
sudo pacman -Syy --noconfirm archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring
sudo pacman -Syu
error: GPME error: No data
while running the below command.
sudo pacman -Syy --noconfirm archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring
Have you tried sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
I tried sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys now.
It didn’t solved.
@manuel and @ricklinux Does the OP maybe need to fully delete the EndeavourOS repo manually and then go through the process of re-adding it instead?
Maybe. There seems to be something quite broken stuff in the system.
@murugesan
Can you please show the output of command
eos-sendlog < /etc/pacman.conf
Hi,
eos-sendlog < /etc/pacman.conf
Are you asking about system processor?
Not ARM.
It is Intel-I7.

You could try installing the keyring packages manually.
sudo pacman -U https://mirror.moson.org/arch/core/os/x86_64/archlinux-keyring-20240429-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U https://mirror.moson.org/endeavouros/repo/endeavouros/x86_64/endeavouros-keyring-20231222-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
and then try updating again.
error: GPGME error: No data
Thanks.
Did you already try deleting all files from /var/lib/pacman/sync/ ?
Edit: if this does not help, you can try commenting out the [endeavouros] repo lines from /etc/pacman.conf.
Also, better backup your personal data to an external drive, just in case.
Did you already try deleting all files from /var/lib/pacman/sync/ ?
Yes with sudo rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync/
Does it help anything when downloading the packages first, and then install, something like:
cd /tmp
wget https://mirror.moson.org/arch/core/os/x86_64/archlinux-keyring-20240429-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U archlinux-keyring-20240429-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
and the same for the other package?
If that doesn’t work, I’m starting to run out of ideas…
Edit: your mirrorlist(s) might not work…
Edit2: have you checked the disk has enough space?
Do check the system time of this computer. Compare it with a mobile. It should be within a second or so.
A faulty clock can play games with signature checks.
Could also be a faulty disk area.
