My computer froze during an update and after waiting forever I forced a shutdown, now it won’t boot. I’m unable to update it through chroot because I always get:
“error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))”
when trying to update using pacman.
when trying “pacman-key --refresh-keys”, I get “gpg: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0: file too short”. For most other things I’ve tried, like “wget https://pkgbuild.com/~eschwartz/repo/x86_64-extracted/pacman-static” to get pacman-static, I also get “error while loading shared libraries … file to short” errors.

to fix your update, run those commands when in chroot:
sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/sync/*
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
sudo pacman -Syyu
This is what I get, after the first “Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]”, there come an awful lot more, probably for every package:
[manjaro-gnome /]# sudo pacman -Syyu

press y and check … and use formated text, and also no need to post so many repeating lines

so abort it, and try this:
sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/sync/*
sudo pacman -Sc
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && pamac update
it gives me this error:
pamac: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libjson-glib-1.0.so.0: file too short
try this:
sudo pacman -S --overwrite \* libjson-glib
sudo pacman -S --overwrite * libjson-glib
error: target not found: libjson-glib
try
pacman -Sf json-glib
-Sf seems to be an invalid option
it should force it, try the same command without the ‘f’
back to the same good old problem
pacman -S json-glib
