Fix for pacman corrupted package error
Posted on 2022-08-03 16:38 [linux, tech, arch-linux]So at times, especially if you haven’t been updating on a daily basis
(naughty), when you update using the good ol’ sudo pacman -Syu
, you will
eventually be faced with this error:
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
In times like this what one must do is to update the archlinux-keyring
package
first and then update the other packages. So you do
sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
and then do the usual sudo pacman -Syu
, and all your problems would be solved.
Cheers.
