Title: [Solved] error: failed retrieving file 'galaxy.db' ...
Post by: tintin on 02 September 2023, 06:13:22
Hello,
I can't do my updates this morning.
Is this a planned temporary interruption?

The galaxy repository may have been merged with world as was announced :
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,5488.0.html

Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for jp:

Hi,

thank you for sharing this information. I have the exact same problem.
Unable to update. Pacman asks, if I want to update, but I did not proceed.
I have tried multiple times, but I always get the same message as yours.

It's very simple:

Code: [Select]
rankmirrors -v -n 35 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew | tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

If I understood that correctly you have updated your system after you have restrained the galaxy.db? If so, doesn't it
break the system by doing that?

 Yeah galaxy not working for me either but it says is up to date. Now if that's true or not idk. I better let alone updates 1 or 2 days.

Same here:

Code: [Select]
error: failed retrieving file 'galaxy.db'

Should I worry or is the planned merge happening right now?

o/
i also had the same error yesterday, then remembered that galaxy was planned for merging into world.
And it seems the galaxy repo has been finally deleted yesterday.
the link tintin gave was speaking about it.
So the solution is indeed to comment the lines in /etc/pacman.conf ;)

Code: [Select]
#[galaxy]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

 It was planned but shouldn't we get an official announcement? Something like: "From today galaxy repo iz ded thank you bye" .. :D

 I intend to delete it from my pacman conf but I'll wait for a bit till the announcement.

This was my bad. I was merging universe into galaxy since we have a new build pipeline setup for galaxy, but I goof'd the rsyncd.conf last night before going to bed and didn't realize it. So mirrors were picking up the other repos but not the galaxy ones. I fixed that this morning and it should eventually propagate to all mirrors once they sync again (e.g. you can see the galaxy repos on this one (http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/artix-linux/)).

Galaxy isn't going away. What will eventually go away is Universe since all packages there were moved to galaxy. This should be nicer for users and it's definitely a lot nicer for packagers.

Edit: Or maybe Omniverse will become the new Universe. We'll see. This has yet to be decided.

Apologies, things beyond our influence caused a kernel panic on the server and it didn't reboot.
Everything is up again.

That issue was fixed a month ago.
If you have any specific issue, pls create a new thread.
