[SOLVED] pacman trying to add AUR to my mirrorlist

01 June 2024, 22:59:53

i want to install blender, im on artix, yes my system is fully up to date - pacman -Syu
when i add the arch mirrors in pacman.conf my whole pacman -Syu just stops working n throws out this

Code: [Select]

 sudo pacman -Syu
error: GPGME error: No data
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)

when i comment back out t;his section

Code: [Select]

# Arch
#[extra]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

#[community]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

everything works fine again

so am i missing something ? do have to regenerate the keys or huh, i would just like to use aur too on artix
thank you
my pacman.conf

Code: [Select]

Looks like /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch has all the mirrors (just canadian?) commented out, which makes the error "error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)" make sense. Not sure why that would happen, I'm pretty sure it doesn't come that way, although maybe it does.

Look into the aur package rate-mirrors, I find it a good way to rank mirrors.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rate-mirrors-bin

I use this script:

Code: [Select]

❯ cat ratem_hook.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash

tmpfile=$(mktemp)
sudo chown $USER $tmpfile

if [[ "$1" == "arch" ]] then
	[[ -f /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch.pacnew ]] && sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch.pacnew /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
	sudo -u $USER -i rate-mirrors --save $tmpfile $1
	sudo cp $tmpfile /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
elif [[ "$1" == "chaotic-aur" ]] then
	[[ -f /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist.pacnew ]] && sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist.pacnew /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist
	sudo -u $USER -i rate-mirrors --save $tmpfile $1
	sudo cp $tmpfile /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist
elif [[ "$1" == "artix" ]] then
	[[ -f /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew ]] && sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
	sudo -u $USER -i rate-mirrors --save $tmpfile $1
	sudo cp $tmpfile /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
fi

and ideally add a hook for pacman to run it if artix-mirrorlist or archlinux-mirrorlist get updated. Works for chaotic-aur as well.

Arch hasn't had a Community repo for over a year or so. Remove these two lines from your pacman.conf.

well so i deleted the community lines from pacman.conf and correctly uncomente the server(tbh i just missed that as i was copying the arch server list for 20th time probably)

did

Code: [Select]

sudo pacman-key --populate

and now i am looking at this

Code: [Select]

 sudo pacman -Syu
error: GPGME error: No data
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 system is up to date
 world is up to date
 galaxy is up to date
 extra                   7.9 MiB  3.20 MiB/s 00:02 [######################] 100%
 multilib is up to date
error: GPGME error: No data
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unexpected error)

looks like it connects to these servers fine and downloads, but the gpg signatures arent alright ?

Are you following this guide?
https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories

I've never had any trouble enabling the arch repositories.

Did you install artix-archlinux-support?

Also, if you are enabling the arch [multilib] I would definitely enable the artix [lib32] and then also install lib32-artix-archlinux-support

Re: pacman trying to add AUR to my mirrorlist

Reply #5 – 02 June 2024, 21:27:17

Code: [Select]

 sudo pacman -S artix-archlinux-support

looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) artix-archlinux-support-3-1

Total Installed Size:  0.00 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:      0.00 MiB

and sure i enabled just the extra arch repository and still im getting the

Make sure you have the package archlinux-keyring installed.

Lastly, I'm pretty sure you can safely delete the /etc/pacman.d/gnupg folder and run these command:
(although maybe you can't delete this folder, but from memory I'm pretty sure this is safe).

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate artix
pacman-key --populate archlinux
pacman-key --refresh-keys

as per here:

This problem sometimes happens when we make updates too far apart.
This has happened to me several times, which is why I remember this wiki page.
