Keyring issue while updating

General system
1

To save opening a new thread i’m also having this issue. I tried all the suggestions in the other thread with no luck. The ouput of sudo pacman -Syu is below:

error: python-markdown: key "Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org>" is disabled
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-markdown-3.3.4-1-any.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] 
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

The results of sudo pacman -Sy endeavouros-keyring are:

What i usually do in this case is say yes to delete. Then i update the mirrors and try again. Usually works for me.

Edit: Maybe i misunderstood?

thanks, just gave it a go as you suggested and it’s exactly the same invalid or corrupted package error

4

Is that the full output?

5

You need to run pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring first.

Nope, here’s the entire output. I gives me these “is newer” warnings on every single package I have installed, so I’ve replaced a thousand or so lines of this with ellipsis below:

I’m wondering if I need to remove python-diskcache and vorta?

That looks like a keyring issue.

You should follow the instructions here:

@dalto
Is it the archkeyring that’s outdated?

Oh yeah, maybe resorting mirrors is the answer.

11

Thanks I’ve already tried those instructions without any joy and just followed them again. Still getting exactly the same error. I’m going to give removing those two packages a go

12

Try resorting your mirrors from the welcome application.

13

ok cheers will try resorting the mirrors again and update

After resorting you will probably need to update list this:

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring
sudo pacman -Syu
15

resorted the mirror list and ran those commands, still getting the same corrupted package error message. Is it worth a reboot?

16

I wonder if it has multiple cache packages that gives the errors.

17

Can you share the output from the first command

18

I decided to resort the mirrors again but picked a different country, sudo pacman -Syu is now giving me this:

sudo pacman -Syu

   6) xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

Not sure if this an improvement tbh…
