Dear all,
after a longer time i tried to update and install new stuff. There is no chance to access a running pacman. Other posts containing the error: GPGME error: No data did not work for me. The connection usually works for me at home, at girl friend, in train via WLAN, in train stations via LAN, and via iphone Tethering. I did tons of pacman -Syyu from all locations all the time, this time it does not work either way. Please help, thanks in advance!
Details:
After sudo bash
in a terminal, the following dialog occurs:
[k7 gnupg]# pacman -Syyu
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
:: Synchronizing package databases...

This continues, and repeats itself for extra.db
and community.db
. Finally:

error: failed retrieving file 'community.db' from ftp.lysator.liu.se : The requested URL returned error: 404

[k7 gnupg]#
The mirrorlist
was refreshed interactively, then manually edited, so that is / should be not the problem.
The problem may be related to signature issues in November 2017, as i did…
# pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring
# pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
# pacman-key --refresh-keys
but after these operations there was no problem to -Syy
at least a month.
My pacman.conf
contains among many other lines:
[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Some blog / info pages on the world wise web net want me do Never
check the signatures, is this ok?! Which operations should i perform to get back the package manager?
Help is highly appreciated!
