Every package ie "invalid or corrupted"

Latest KDE ISO from the website (manjaro-kde-21.1.5-211008-linux513.iso), directly after booting: Whatever you do in the package manager (the graphical one or pacman in console), be it updating or installing a new package, will not work due to some issue with signatures. It will just report every single package as “invalid or corrupted”. Tried to find a solution for 30 min, none that I found worked. Thought I’d look for the solution here, but couldn’t find any report of this issue. I just assumed that you are aware of this, as this is a pretty big issue for a stable ISO? I thought I’d report it here anyway, just in case.

seems that your kernel is outdated. please post the output of uname -a first.

As I said, this is literally directly after booting the official Live ISO! The kernel version is whatever it is on that ISO.

that’s curious, you’re sure that this iso is a original ? in case to make sure to download again and create a new live-iso. booting with a live-iso with that errors are not common.

Consider to use a bit more fresh ISOs linked in the [Stable Update] 2021-10-16 - Haskell, Python, KDE Gear, KDE Framework, Thunderbird - #3 by philm
It is official.

It is a rare case, but to be sure after download consider to check hash sums of your downloaded image(s) to be 100% sure that the ISO file(s) came undamaged.

Also, directly after you load your installed copy consider to get a fresh servers mirrors to to get updates from:

sudo pacman-mirrors -B stable -a -c Sweden -P https 

or use any other country checked in the stable column of the https://repo.manjaro.org/

May be that time you will be more lucky :wink:

Downloaded it again, verified the SHA1 signature. Same thing. Here is a screen capture of the bug starting from boot https://imgur.com/HzlaRc9

I found that conclusion to be a strange one: if nobody talks about an issue, than it is a well-known.

Well, I just figured that Manjaro is a pretty well known distro, and that when one of the main stable ISOs is having a significant issue that more people would recognize this (and then maybe report it) :slight_smile:

Do not want to use the latest ISO?

I assumed that the ISO on the official download page is the latest, but apparently that was not the case. Well, I tried the ISO from the forum link you posted, but the issue is the same.

or someone is again giving information that are misleading. i cannot believe that a live distro is so corrupted.

WHAT are you doing ? Booting from a live-iso or installing from it ? Please give exact and precise information !

I am booting from a Live ISO, as you can clearly see in my screen capture. But nevermind. I just wanted to report this for the Manjaro devs actually, as I thought this was a pretty obvious thing they might want to fix in their official ISO. I think I myself won’t proceed with Manjaro, so please deal with this information as you want. Good luck.

@fladd
It’s a bit not fear: “by my heavy blurred pictures I pointed you that something not works”.
The case obviously needs more info. To note that general info and to quit is not a bug report or case investigation. If you want to help yourself and to support the project to prevent that - probably unique - cases, please consider to come back to provide more info (I do not know what exactly, I think you will be asked by more skilled members).

Thanks!


The user points to the issue while update. A couple of key frames could be are

Sorry for the quality, it is best from the uploaded video.

I got the manjaro-kde-21.1.6-211016-linux513.iso and tried to reproduce.
No luck: update procedure worked for me.

Could be that caused by some of update servers which was behaves abnormally?

In the rolling release world even that .iso can be too old :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: because of deprecated keys, have you tried this?

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Pacman_troubleshooting#Errors_about_Keys

I think it is a bit irrelevant as the user said:

The whole sentence with the wiki link are not in any way irrelevant, if he has tried 2 different .isos and he is having the same problem, then it’s most probably a VM misconfiguration on his part, pay attention in particular to this in the wiki: :point_down:

Warning The following commands only work, when your system time is set correctly!

Caused by a completely different matter - I just tested the latest KDE - and there was no issues running an update of the system.

Ensure your system clock is correct.
