electron25-25.3.0-1-x86\_64.pkg.tar.zst is being reported by pacman to be corrupt. I tried removing it using “sudo rm”, at one point the command happened, but the file persisted, now using the same command, it tells me the file doesn’t exist, yet i can see it in there using Dolphin and pacman cannot proceed. I tried updating keyrings via " sudo pacman -Sy endeavouros-keyring", but they are updated so no problem there. I read online to change attributes of that file, but like with the “rm” command, it cannot find it anymore, but it’s still there… ---

Try: ```plaintext sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring sudo pacman -Syu ``` If it doesn’t work, please post the full output here. ---

I don’t understand how arch’s keyring was the solution here… but okay. I need a updating problems solutions cheatsheet somewhere. This happens every time i don’t update in months. ---

> [@Kiloneie](#): > > I don’t understand how arch’s keyring was the solution here… but okay. The vast the majority of the packages come from the Arch repos, not the EOS repo. The EOS repo only has a small number of packages that are either tools we create or things we package because we need them in the installer. ---

> [@Kiloneie](#): > > This happens every time i don’t update in months. That is the issue. The archlinux-keyring dates faster than every few months. 😆 The package was most likely not corrupt. But it was signed by a newer key than the keys in the old archlinux-keyring package. ---

For updating your system you could consider using command ```auto eos-update ``` This updates keyrings first if needed. Then it updates the rest. To see its options, use command ```auto eos-update -h ``` ---
