Pamac update with AUR stuck in an infinite loop with wxcommon-light/wxbase-light

Support AUR
1

I am trying to update my system using pamac (currently using the bare cli) and I am getting an infinite loop on two packages when trying to update wxcommon-light/wxbase-light.

When I run pamac update the following is what happens

Warning: Building packages as root

And after this point I get an infinite loop of

Checking wxbase-light dependencies...
Checking wxcommon-light dependencies...

Which never ends making it not possible to update my system with pamac. Note that I have completely refreshed the database along with keys using

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro

sudo pacman -Scc (just in case)

sudo pacman -Syy

from https://www.reddit.com/r/ManjaroLinux/comments/pzysvw/comment/hf5s0j8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

And none of this helps

Whats even worse is that because of AUR limiting requests now I often end up getting blocked/database signatures getting corrupted due to 429 responses because of this recursion which means if I try to use pacman afterwards I get

error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: database 'core' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'extra' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'community' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'multilib' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

So I have to manually delete the *.sig files from /var/lib/pacman/sync and do the whole key signature syncing process again.

I don’t know about your issue, but this is wrong

Don’t use Pamac with sudo

3

The pacman error messages has no correlation to aur - this is two different items.

If you have issues updating an aur package the first task is to ensure your system is synced - then you can resolve your aur builds.

This was a typo, I I only use it with pacman, I updated the original post.

Thanks a lot, this solved the issue (specifically updating the SigLevel in the thread you mentioned)

6

Was it?

I did accidentally run it as root when I ran it right now so I could create this bug report but I wasn’t paying attention (typically I run pamac without root and actually I almost never use the cli but rather the GUI tool).

The accident was due to me accidentally not noticing pamac vs pacman.

Thanks for pointing it out though!
