Manjaro on Pine64+ mini board same as pine64 LTS

I’m using the Pine64+ mini board same as Pine64 LTS with manjaro-arm-installer feature on an x86 64bit Xfce to try install to the SC/MMC and keep running into errors.
This is the output error:

How should I proceed?

The installer did not install any packages to the rootfs, which indicates that you don’t have all the dependencies in place.

Make sure you have installed them all, then reboot your system (this is needed for the binfmt stuff to be activated).

I have rebooted and installed all dependencies required before like few weeks back and could not run this feature until it was all installed so is there a way of knowing which dependency is missing though

What’s the output of pacman -Qi manjaro-arm-qemu-static ?

I assume you installed the Manjaro ARM Installer from the Manjaro repository?

yes this i did

I see you have another thread going, regarding another Qemu/binfmt thing.

What exactly, did you change?

i removed an error line that could not be found online or in package

From what? From the qemu conf file?

i am unable to post the output of the qemu no links allowed

i’ll back track and let you know
