Hi, i’m getting this error.
Updating trough add/remove app

Kernel: 5.15.7-1-MANJARO
DE: Plasma 5.23.4

Preparing...

Warning: could not fully load metadata for package elfutils-0.186-1

EDIT:
Reinstalled Manjaro, fixed :slight_smile:

sudo rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/elfutils-0.186-1*

Then sort mirrors and update again:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

zsh: no matches found: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/elfutils-0.186-1*

sudo rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/elfutils-0.186-1
rm: cannot remove '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/elfutils-0.186-1': No such file or directory

and for mirrors and update is this error:

When i try to install any app i get that same error “invalid or corrupted package”.

Is there a fix for this?
