Updates have been problematic for this installation since the GRUB-update fiasco of like two months ago. Rather than complain, I welcomed the unbootable system as an opportunity to discover the true cause: in my case, dkms kernel modules installed from the AUR left my dkms a mess. Shame on me: the warnings about installing software from the AUR were understood, yet disregarded...
Yet this one is different, the relevant line from the garuda-inxi output below is found almost at the bottom: "warning: database file for 'blackarch' does not exist (use '-Sy' to download)"
I did rm -f /var/lib/pacman/sync/* and then a pacman -Syy, to no avail. garuda-update also bombs out prematurely citing it could not find the blackarch database file, and I find this:
failed retrieving file 'blackarch.db' from ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de : SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
F.
