Can't Update - (invalid or corrupted package)

[elite]

Currently I am unable to update I an however able to install software.
Steps I have tried:

• Going back a few snapshots to when I still could update or further.
• Going to garuda assistant Refreshing both keys an mirrors. Cleared both caches. Attempted to reinstall all packages but got the same error in the end.
• Used all the steps other then the last one " sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/{archlinux,chaotic}-keyring*.pkg.tar.zst " in: Issues with “signature is marginal trust”, “signature is unknown trust”, or “invalid or corrupted package”

I have tried to reinstall nodejs-21.5.0-1 but it fails with error: failed to prepare transaction (invalid or corrupted package)

@elite

nodejs-21.5.0-1

Try again.
nodejs should be now 21.6.0-2 in the Arch repo.
If error persists, I’d try

update remote fix

[elite]

No luck, even after update remote fix and running garuda-update again I get the same error “warning: could not fully load metadata for package nodejs-21.5.0-1”

Is this a package i can remove then reinstall the updated version or would that crash my system?

[filo]

Try this

Error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/…/{desc,files,mtree}: No such file or directory

Your local package database and/or metadata may become corrupted if an update process is interrupted, for example if you hard power off during an update. Metadata corruption will generally manifest in a message similar to: error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/$pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel/desc: No such file or directory error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/$pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel/files: No such file or directory error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/$pkgname-$pkg…

sudo touch /var/lib/pacman/local/nodejs-21.5.0-1/{desc,files,mtree}

sudo pacman -S nodejs

[elite]

hmm I’m fully stumped.

 ~  sudo touch /var/lib/pacman/local/nodejs-21.5.0-1/{desc,files,mtree} 
 ~  sudo pacman -S nodejs

sudo pacman -S nodejs --overwrite '*'

[elite]

Sadly same error

[BluishHumility]

Have you tried the old “force reinstall all packages” method?

garuda-update remote fullfix

[elite]

@BluishHumility

garuda-update remote fullfix

Slightly different error but still no luck.

 garuda-update remote fullfix                                        2.5m  Wed 17 Jan 2024 06:41:00 PM CST
This will reset a few configuration files like pacman.conf 🛑
Warning: Fullfix mode! This will reinstall all packages!
Are you sure? (y/n)

Try removing the lock file first.

Then give it another shot.

@elite

extra.db failed to download

Huh… That’s a weird one. Is your internet connection working fine?

It might be worth trying again, the same way.

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
garuda-update remote fullfix

Let’s see if you get the same error again.

[elite]

It should be fine to be safe I reset everything. If it comes down to it regretfully when garuda with kde 6 hits I’ll sadly wipe an reinstall. Since its only a month-ish with no updates.

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck                                            Wed 17 Jan 2024 11:29:53 PM CST

error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)

[caniko]

I got the same issue: `update`: error: failed to synchronize all databases (unexpected error)

[elite]

I was able to fix the issue.
-Highly recommend taking a snapshot before doing these steps-

1. In dolphin remove /var/lib/pacman/local/nodejs-21.5.0-1/ /var/lib/pacman/local/bottles-21.5.0-1/ (Why dolphin? So you can ctrl+z if you need to.)
2. Run garuda-update remote reinstall Fullfix can work as well
3. Install nodejs-21.6.0-2
4. Reinstall bottles-21.5.0-1
5. Run garuda-update -a (Note if pacman.conf was reset add your IgnorePkg = back. For me it was IgnorePkg = firedragon)
6. After a system restart for good measure should be back to normal.

[ChiaJesus]

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me. After removing nodejs and bottles and running

garuda-update remote reinstall

I still get the same error messages. I’ll leave it to the folks in charge to decide if this is the official Garuda solution.

[elite]

I’m not particularly sure what issue your having, But this issue isn’t related to the mirror issue that is going around today. That’s been solved with the manual mirror. this fix assumes your using that fix as well. but is written for once its actually patched.
