Archlinux-keyring in core and extra repo

Feedback
1

After a checkupdates and a few queries, I noticed that the package archlinux-keyring was in the core and extra repo. In the past, I’ve only seen it in the core.

===> pacman -Q archlinux-keyring
archlinux-keyring 20250123-1

===> pacman -Si archlinux-keyring
Repository      : core
Name            : archlinux-keyring
Version         : 20250123-1
...
===>pacman -Si archlinux-keyring --dbpath=/tmp/checkup-db-1000/

Repository      : core
Name            : archlinux-keyring
Version         : 20250123-1
...
Repository      : extra
Name            : archlinux-keyring
Version         : 20250430.1-1

N.M. I is idiot

Yes, and?

They should be there…Manjaro is based on Arch Linux, after all.

I think your mirror lists are out of date, as I only have it in the core repository:

$ pamac search -r archlinux-keyring
archlinux-keyring  20250123-1 [Installed]                                                                                                                                                                                   core

Does it matter, that they exist in core and extra and they are a different version?

:point_up:

I’m an idiot, sorry.

I thought about the update status of the mirrors too, so I went to https://repo.manjaro.org/ and clicked a mirror (00:04), and looked at the core and extra directories. I repeated it with another mirror.

Also went to Branch compare for Manjaro to triple check.

I just wanted to let you guys know. The one in extra should be in core. I have no issues. I’ll close this topic.

Thanks.

Quite obviously, there should be only one version of this package, and it should be in the core repository, which means that somebody goofed up. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Pinging @philm and @Yochanan — they’re the ones with write access to the repos.

Funny. When I search for it with pamac, I get only the one, expected, result:

$ pamac search archlinux-keyring
archlinux-keyring  20250123-1 [Installed]                                                                                                                                                                                   core
Arch Linux PGP keyring

But when I search with pacman, I get the double, unexpected, result:

$ pacman -Ss archlinux-keyring
core/archlinux-keyring 20250123-1 [installed]
Arch Linux PGP keyring
extra/archlinux-keyring 20250430.1-1 [installed: 20250123-1]
Arch Linux PGP keyring

So I’m guessing pamac don’t handle duplicate package names all too well. It seems it uses the first result it gets and doesn’t continue the search past the first result.

That’s a Long Known Issue™ with pamac. :grin:

Yep. So somebody goofed up and pushed the updated archlinux-keyring (20250430.1-1) package to extra instead of to core, where it should have gone.

Our first priority is therefore to remedy this situation. Our second priority will be to find out who did it, and then shoot him at dawn. :grin:

With gummy bears, of course!

I didn’t so I updated the database and I still don’t. :man_shrugging:

$ pacman -Ss archlinux-keyring

Now to update properly.

But you’re on Unstable. That’s a separate branch, with its own packages.

I’m on my laptop and I thought it was still on stable, which it isn’t. :facepalm:

In Arch stable currently only version 20250430.1-1 exists and it’s located in the core repo.
