Re: New primary mirror
Reply #51 –
I just reinstalled imagemagick and libsodium on my system. I did find that the original downloaded packages needed to be deleted and downloaded again due to the original downloads having an invalid signature error.
error: imagemagick: signature from "Cromnix (Buildbot) <[email protected]>" is invalid
error: libsodium: signature from "Cromnix (Buildbot) <[email protected]>" is invalid
Once the stored packages where deleted, these packages installed successfully. Although if the packages do have a new signature, a new package version would guarantee that the package would be updated without any problem since it will be seen as a update and ignore the previous version with the invalid signature. Also it would allow one to see if the mirror being selected was truly up to-date.
To fix the issue as stated before one will have to overwrite the original database with a pacman -Syyu once the testing repositories are listed above the standard ones and the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file is up to-date. One may have to manually correct the mirrorlist file to ensure that the list is current and valid as listed in a previous post by fungalnet with the new repositories at the top of the repository list. It could be that one of the mirrors has not be refreshed recently that is being used by the system due to the package version being the same. In that case, I would either edit the mirrorlist and comment out all but the first repository to force it to be used even if it has a slow connection. Or backup the file and create a new one with only with this mirror listed.Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch
My system was a fresh install with the first release of the LXQT Artix Linux ISO. The new mirrorlist file was manual downloaded and installed when it was first announced. I edited the /etc/pacman.conf file and made the testing versions of the repositories listed prior to the stable ones since testing is more inline with the Archlinux releases then the database was overwritten with the pacman -Syyu command.
