Error: software update -Add/Remove Software

[Mr.Azure]

Hello Garuda users.,

I having a problem with installing software form the "Add/Remove Software"

Software: Firefox (firefox) 103.0-1

Install choices:

• hunspell-en_US: Spell checking, American English

• wireplumber-git 0.4.11.r7.gd502967-1 chaotic-aur

• xxd-standalone 8.2.4088-1 chaotic-aur

Failed to commit transaction

invalid or corrupted package:

does anyone know a possible solution?

If you want to install firefox, you can simply install from terminal

sudo pacman -Syu firefox

if that still produces error, you can copy paste it here as text.

Please always include your garuda-inxi, as per new topic template.
This would help us understand if your system is fully updated.
To update it, always use garuda-update from terminal. This could avoid you a lot of installation problems.

@Mr.Azure

invalid or corrupted package:

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…

Hi Filo,

Thanks for your advice, but what command do I need to use?

[filo]

Open a terminal end:

• to provide your system specs, enter garuda-inxi, copy the output, and paste it here formatted like this:
  ~~~
  output of garuda-inxi
  ~~~
• to update your system, simply enter in the terminal

garuda-update

this could avoid some of the hiccups sometimes occuring during updates, but the linked tutorial provides a more thorough troubleshooting guide.

[Mr.Azure]

When I try this command I got the following message:

garuda-update may be found in the following packages:
chaotic-aur/garuda-update 2.5.2-1 /usr/bin/garuda-update

[filo]

Again, what about your:

garuda-inxi 

Please try this:

sudo bash -c ". <(wget -qO- https://gitlab.com/garuda-linux/themes-and-settings/settings/garuda-common-settings/-/snippets/2147440/raw/main/remote-update)"

I see you have another topic open with a somewhat similar problem.
We cannot know if these are for the same machine without a garuda-inxi.
And we cannot know what's going on there without precise answers: a system without garuda-update has something really broken in the configuration / package management, and this has not been answered also in the other thread, asking about garuda-update or garuda-update remote fix

Both threads go to #4xx:precondition-failed .
About missing garuda-inxi and more.

You can edit your last posts for this purpose.

By the way, I think you haven't updated your system in a long time.
