well i guess that it is everytime the same - i have issues with the db - and with the update of the keyrings. I guess that i have to clean out some thing.

i will have a closer look at the other threads - and recommendations you gave me.

btw:; thank you so much for this great forum

updqate: i did the following


sudo pacman - Syyu

Not sure if this will solve your problem but the mirror.f4st.host seems to be not in use anymore, so you can remove it from your mirrorlist.

Edit the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist as root and comment out the appropriate line by putting a # in front of it.

Something is definitely going on, I have had a load of mirrors that worked a few hours ago, fall over:

error: failed retrieving file 'endeavouros.db' from mirror.moson.org : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.jonas-prz.be : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.jonas-prz.be : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'multilib.db' from mirror.jonas-prz.be : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
warning: too many errors from mirror.jonas-prz.be, skipping for the remainder of this transaction

Maybe this will help ?

are these findings still deriving form the mirrorlist !?

or does it have to do with other things … as well

look forwrad to hear form you

and a big big sorry for all the newbie questions here - its ashaming - am ashamed :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

So I assume you also did this ?
sudo rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync/
If that did not help I am sorry to say I’m out of options here.
Maybe somone with a little more knowledge will come along, but as I see it , doing a reinstall after backing up important files would be your best bet.

how about post the contents of pacman.conf and of your mirrorlist.

also in your above command where you try to do the key rings I think you have the wrong command it should be

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring

14

I have found this set of commands to work when resetting the gpg keys:

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*
sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/*
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux endeavouros
sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring

To regenerate mirrorlist:

sudo reflector --latest 10 --sort rate --protocol https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

And, finally:

sudo pacman -Syyu
