I was installing some packages with pacman on Arch Linux, and noticed this error:

no user id for key signature packet of class 10

Everything went fine, but what does this error mean?

I need an old version of qt5 for anki. (qt5-5.7) Therefore I would like to downgrade all qt5-packages (the whole group). Is there a way to do this with pacman?

I'm using pacman 5.0.1 on Arch Linux and I'd like to get information about packages installed on my machine as well as packages in the remote repositories. Information should include a description of the package, its size, and its build date.

While running pacman -Syu After "(8/8) checking package integrity" I'm facing the following issue with these packages:

So far, I've tried running this (without success): - sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring | pacman -Su - pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring | pacman-key --refresh-keys - `pacman-key --delete 91BD8815FE0040FA7FF5D68754C28F4FF5A1A949 | pacman-key --populate archlinux` - `pacman-key --delete D6C9442437365605 | pacman-key --populate archlinux` - sudo pacman -Sc - sudo pacman -Fy

I recently updated my gpgme and ostree. When I execute some command using pacman now, it gives me the following error. pacman: error while loading libgpgme.so.11: No such shared file or directory. the /usr/lib contains libgpgme.so.45 and other files My gpgme version is 2.0.0.1 Please help me.

I am running Arch Linux on a workstation that uses an NVIDIA graphics card. The

-testing

repository is enabled. When I try to upgrade my system, there is a file collision between

-firmware

and

-firmware-nvidia

.

Running pacman, it appears that

-firmware

owns a bunch of nvidia firmware files, which

-firmware-nvidia

attempts to access.

[core](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/linux-firmware/) vs. [core-testing](https://archlinux.org/packages/core-testing/any/linux-firmware/) Is it safe to

pacman -R linux-firmware

, upgrade the system then reinstall

-firmware

?

I am currently troubleshooting a bizarre problem on my Arch Linux system. Since about a week ago, pacman upgrades started failing. Fetching the latest package lists hangs for roughly 10 seconds after returning a bunch of time-out messages, although it still moves on to the upgrade phase. Once I type y, pacman hangs once again for a minute or so before giving up and exiting. Here is an example.

I attempted to refresh mirrors using

Below is reflector's settings.

> cat /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf 
# Reflector configuration file for the systemd service.
#
# Empty lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored.  All other lines should
# contain valid reflector command-line arguments. The lines are parsed with
# Python's shlex modules so standard shell syntax should work. All arguments are
# collected into a single argument list.
#
# See "reflector --help" for details.

# Recommended Options

# Set the output path where the mirrorlist will be saved (--save).
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# Select the transfer protocol (--protocol).
--protocol https

# Select the country (--country).
# Consult the list of available countries with "reflector --list-countries" and
# select the countries nearest to you or the ones that you trust. For example:
--country "South Korea,Japan"

# Use only the  most recently synchronized mirrors (--latest).
--latest 10

# Sort the mirrors by synchronization time (--sort).
--sort age

Finally this is

Assuming

was not selecting the best mirrors, I copied the [Worldwide Mirrorlist](https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?country=all&protocol=http&protocol=https&ip_version=4) and tried again. No progress. Finally, I dialed my ISP, explained my situation and was issued a new IP address in a different subnet. Still failed. However, I was surprised to notice that I could upgrade using

, the AUR wrapper. I was able to upgrade a single package that does not have dependencies without issues. However,

--needed

, which calls pacman to upgrade the entire system at once failed in the same way. I did not try to upgrade the remaining 1400+ packages due to fears of a partial upgrade. I tried clearing the cache as well but to no avail. Is pacman fixable or am I forced to reinstall the whole system?

During a routine

pacman -Syu --needed

involving about 50 packages, the upgrade exited early due to a "Less than 1 b/s transferred the last 10 seconds" error. Follwing that, I can no longer update my system.

[The package was updated yesterday](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wireplumber/) so I assumed the mirrors do not have the latest version yet. I tried refreshing the mirrors.

> pacman -Syyuu --needed sudo gnome gnome-extra amd-ucode

Pacman did refresh the package list but still tried to use the same 20 mirrors, none of which had the latest version of the package. What command forces pacman to try other mirrors, or even better, actively find mirrors that are up to date? [Edit] Tried out

as suggested in the comments.

After a whole system upgrade, my Python version was bumped up to 3.13.1. I mostly use Python nowadays as a dependency of [KaTrain](https://github.com/sanderland/katrain) , which needs Python because its UI is based on Kivy. Currently, Kivy doesn't support Python > 3.13 unfortunately though, so I would like to force Python to go back to 3.10 or something that is supported. I've been trying to find a way to do it with pacman, but so far I'm very surprised I don't see anything clearcut for it. I've also tried to install Pythong with yay, but, after the install, my current Python version still points to the one from Pacman. I've tried stuff like this with both Pacman and Yay:

yay -Syu python310

I have KaTrain installed with pipx actually, so I suspect there could be a way of bringing a different Python version from there as well perhaps.

pacman -Syu outputs a list of packages that need be updated. It then prints the *total* update size (i.e. how much data to download). My question is: is there a way to get the download size for **each** packet that **needs** to be updated? I thought that could be done maybe via expac and some text handlin, but I couldn't figure out how. I was thinking an output print like: package1-name X MB package2-name X MB ...

I am having trouble with installing packages with pacman Firstly updating pacman with pacman -Syu updates correctly with no issues, however when attempting to install sudo with pacman -S sudo responds with: [root@cx-W55xEU /]# pacman -S sudo resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

I just ran the following command without fully knowing what it would do:

sudo pacman -S packagekit-qt6 flatpack fwupd

And now my KDE Discover Store is broken. Whenever I try to update something in KDE Discover, I get the following error popups: Can someone please help me how to remove this and revert back to before? I need my KDE Discover to work again. --- I tried searching and found to run sudo pacman -R packagekit-qt6, but that didn't work. I get the following errors: error: cachyos-znver4: signature from "CachyOS " is invalid error: cachyos-core-znver4: signature from "CachyOS " is invalid error: cachyos-extra-znver4: signature from "CachyOS " is invalid error: cachyos: signature from "CachyOS " is invalid error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database) error: could not lock database: File exists if you're sure a package manager is not already running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

Today I installed Archlinux and I tried to install the following package 'dpkg' from the AUR. I tried 2 methods: pacman -S dpkg and after that failed I downloaded the *.tar.gz and tried: pacman -U dpkg.tar.gz At the first option I got the following error: [root@localhost andreas]# pacman -S dpkg Fehler: Ziel nicht gefunden: dpkg and at the second option I got this error: [root@localhost Downloads]# pacman -U dpkg.tar.gz Lade Pakete... Fehler: Fehlende Paket-Metadaten in dpkg.tar.gz Fehler: 'dpkg.tar.gz': Ungültiges oder beschädigtes Paket The error is in German and means "Invalid or Damaged Package". I don't get why pacman can't find the package because it's here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dpkg I'm fairly new to Archlinux, I have mainly used Debian and its Derivates before.

On Ubuntu, there is a helpful package called adduser. But on Arch Linux, I searched it by pacman -Ss adduser and got nothing. I'm unsure if it is in the "extra repository" or "user repository" or not in the Arch Linux ecosystem. Is there another way to search for it on Arch Linux other than installing it directly from the downloaded source code?

I'm trying to create a Dockerfile for an Arch Linux image with iptables-nft installed. If I run the archlinux Docker image interactively and then pacman -Syu iptables-nft, I get asked iptables-nft-1:1.8.10-2 and iptables-1:1.8.10-2 are in conflict. Remove iptables? [y/N] and Proceed with installation? [Y/n]. Answering yes to both of those questions does what I want. The problem comes when I try to script that in the Dockerfile, where I can't interactively answer those questions. My first attempt was RUN pacman --noconfirm -Syu iptables-nft, but this doesn't work because --noconfirm means to go with the default answer, and the default answer to the first question is no. Then I tried removing iptables first before installing iptables-nft, but iproute2 depends on either iptables or iptables-nft, and base depends on iproute2. This leaves me with a few approaches which technically work, but all of which leave me with concerns: 1. RUN yes | pacman -Syu iptables-nft works, but blindly saying y to any question pacman ever asks would break if it ever asks a non-yes-no question, and if it ever asks any default-no questions other than "Remove iptables?", it would probably be bad to blindly answer yes to them too. 2. RUN pacman --noconfirm -Rdd iptables && pacman --noconfirm -Syu iptables-nft works, but if iptables ever gets any dependencies that iptables-nft doesn't also satisfy, it would leave me with a broken system, and if there are any packages that were only installed because the old iptables needed them, they'll get left behind indefinitely. 3. RUN pacman --noconfirm -Rsdd iptables && pacman --noconfirm -Syu iptables-nft works, but it has the same broken system risk as #2 does, and it also uninstalls a bunch of other packages only to immediately reinstall them. Is there a better solution than any of the above? Ideally, I'd like just a pacman equivalent of dnf swap , but I can't find any such thing.

I'd like to list all meta packages that I installed. - Installed with pikaur or pacman - operating system is Arch Linux # Problem When I install plasma-meta and run pacman -Qg, I can only see plasma.

I have been stuck at this point trying to install Arch. I am new to all of this. I am trying to dual boot with Windows. Earlier today I had archlinux up and running on this computer. I followed a tutorial and it worked perfectly, the install was yesterday. Today I deleted the archlinux partition and the uefi partition for it on Windows. I wanted to reinstall arch, so I could look at the whole process again. Even following the exact same tutorial, to the T, I get stuck here just after typing, “archinstall”. “Waiting for Arch Linux keyring sync to complete” It eventually fails with the error: “error: GPGME error: No data” “error: failed to synchronize all databases (invalid or corrupted databases (PGP signature))” Now if I try to type “archinstall” again it says: “Arch Linux mirrors are not reachable. Please check your internet connection” I have tried everything I could find online. I CAN ping websites, and I am on a wired connection. I CANNOT use any “pacman -S” commands without getting errors, including “pacman -Syu” or anything similar. I have tried to change mirrors but I was left very frustrated and I don’t think it worked.

Is there any way to tell pacman (Arch Linux) to just run all post-transaction hooks, as if it had just done a full system upgrade, but without installing any packages? I just tried to do a full upgrade and my system crashed just as the hooks were being run at the end. I would like to run them all again in case anything got screwed up, but without having to go through re-installing all of the packages again. If not, is there any way I can tell it to run a list of hooks that I specify?

I've had to reinstall my HoloISO OS because for an unknown reason the previous install failed to boot. Upon even a complete reinstall I've been unable to use pacman. I've rebooted and looked for other instances of pacman running or db.lck files, but none have appeared. I don't have any reason to beleive I'm using pacmac, but I don't have any other ideas. Trying to use pacman -Syu results in an install failure caused by "failed to synchronise all databases" Also trying to reboot results in an 1228 second long stream of "device not accepting address XX, error -71" according to the INFO message right before it finally did restart, but I haven't had the chance to investigate that yet. I will edit this post once I've got the chance to investigate this further. SOLUTION: Forgot to steamos-readonly disable
