Invalid or corrupted database when updating

Hello

I tried to update my system by running

sudo pacman-mirrors -f
sudo pacman -Syu

With the latter command, I received this output:

error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data

error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: failed to synchronize all databases (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

How can I fix this?

The following tutorial should be useful;


In the meantime, please provide system information as described (below).

I’m sure someone will help when they are able.

Regards.


Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:


Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form:

inxi -zv8

Be prepared to provide output from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Thank you. I am currently running the script outlined here: [HowTo] Work around gpg verification issue on left behind systems

I truly hope this was not an error. If it is, I will respond

Thank you! Your tutorial appears to have worked
