Error saying that my packages are corrupted (either invalid or corrupted)

[jcdenton]

I'm having an issue similar to this, but the signatures I'm getting are from random names at ArchLinux.org. This is a fresh install, mind you. I was trying to update via the Assistant, and it keeps giving me an error saying that my packages are corrupted (either invalid or corrupted) and asking if I want to remove them. This has been happening to me on multiple Arch-based Distros, so I don't know if this is a problem with my mirror list or something else. Please help.

invalid or corrupted

Check here first:

Issues with “signature is marginal trust”, "signature is unknown trust", or “invalid or corrupted package”

If you're getting an error similar to "Can’t update: signature from *** is marginal trust" or "invalid or corrupted package" you probably just need to update your package signing keys: sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring chaotic-keyring sudo pacman -Syu If you have added any other repositories, e.g. BlackArch, then add their keyring to the list. Also make sure your system clock is correct! Of course, it's also possible that the package file actually is corrupt. Remove it from /var/cache/pacman…

I'll keep following this, but the top solution didn't work for me.

Is your system clock correct?

If it is then post the output of each command (as text) that you have tried along with its output.

[jcdenton]

My time's correct. Give me a second to post the output.

How do I post it as text? It keeps limiting me to 32000 characters.

[jonathon]

Firstly, how on Earth are you getting so many characters? (Oh, maybe the refresh-keys part...)

Secondly:

and link.

Have you tried deleting the files it says are corrupted?

@Issues with “signature is marginal trust” or “invalid or corrupted package”

Of course, it’s also possible that the package file actually is corrupt. Remove it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg so pacman will download it again.

It’s only ~26 out of 263 packages, after all.

[jcdenton]

So I should just try removing the packages from Pacman's cache in order to test it?
