Pacman deleted, butno pacman-key either, nor makepkg

General system Pacman
22

Try running sudo pacman-key --init first.

23

sudo: pacman-key : commande introuvable

I do not have it, hence earlier I tried downloading that script and provided the output in the very first post.

What does sudo find /etc/pacman.d return?

Getting closer

sudo ./pacman-static -U pacman-6.0.2-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst --overwrite "*"
sudo ./pacman-static -U ./archlinux-keyring-20230504-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
29

Progress ! It installed smoothly.
then I ran

sudo pacman-key --init
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 12: directive ‘UseDelta’ in section ‘options’ not recognized.

Then sudo pacman -Su but it ended with

Uhh…that would absolutely break it. That empties the keyring we just worked so hard to create…

Try this again:

sudo pacman -U ./archlinux-keyring-20230504-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

Then share the contents of /etc/pacman.conf

That is a mess. Let’s overwrite it with a clean one:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endeavouros-team/EndeavourOS-ISO/main/airootfs/etc/pacman.conf
sudo mv pacman.conf /etc/.
33

And ? Btw, as far as I remember I never edited pacman.conf manually.

34

After that, try using pacman again.

I am not sure where that came from but it wasn’t valid.

35

I had shown the content of /pacman.d/ before and it was empty safe for mirrorlist.

sudo pacman -Sy
error: file /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist cannot be read: No such file or directory

36

You are missing the endeavouros mirrorlist now. We can fix that.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endeavouros-team/PKGBUILDS/master/endeavouros-mirrorlist/endeavouros-mirrorlist
sudo mv endeavouros-mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/.

Then try pacman again.

37

what the hell…
there’s this:

the core.db file could not be downloaded
file extra.db could not be downloaded
file multilib.db could not be downloaded

then a quintillon messages identical to this one, with different addresses:

error: Failed to retrieve file ‘core.db’ from ca.gate.endeavouros.com: The requested URL returned error: 404
error: Failed to retrieve file ‘extra.db’ from ca.gate.endeavouros.com: The requested URL returned error: 404
error: Failed to retrieve file ‘multilib.db’ from ca.gate.endeavouros.com: The requested URL returned error: 404
warning: too many errors from ca.gate.endeavouros.com, skipping for the remainder of this transaction

continuing with other urls.

38

Ahh…it looks to me like you overwrote your mirrorlist with the endeavouros-mirrorlist

Those are separate files. Did you typo one of those commands?

39

I think so. I did not know they were different. I don’t know anything about those files to be honest. And yes I read, but it doesn’t register. I swear I’ll get wasted to celebrate once that is finished…

40

OK, try this:

sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist
sudo pacman -U pacman-mirrorlist-20230410-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
41

sudo pacman -U pacman-mirrorlist-20230410-1-a
ny.pkg.tar.zst
error: file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist cannot be read: No such file or folder

of course, there’s no mirrorlist now !
