thats interesting

[dalto]

If you are sure there are no other pacman transactions running, try:

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

It commonly happens when you interrupt a pacman transaction in the middle for any reason.

[FAQ] Issues with “signature is marginal trust”, "signature is unknown trust", or “invalid or corrupted package”

If you’re getting an error similar to “Can’t update: signature from *** is marginal trust” or “invalid or corrupted package” you probably just need to update your package signing keys: sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring sudo pacman -Syu Also make sure your system clock is correct! Of course, it’s also possible that the package file actually is corrupt. Remove it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ so pacman will download it again. If no package file is explicitly mentioned then yo…

hello dear sradjoker
