During sudo pacman -Syu
I get the following:
Many lines later of the same stuff as below:
error: could not read db 'extra' (Damaged tar archive)
warning: lua-sec: unknown key 'luase//wikl' in sync database
warning: lua-sec: unknown key '%PACKAGER%Ddaurnimato </daurnimatoe@archlinux.org>' in sync database
error: could not read db 'extra' (Damaged tar archive)
warning: lua-sec: unknown key 'luase//wikl' in sync database
…thousands of more lines of the same.
It hasn’t yet downloaded or done anything, it just tries to read the databases, I suppose. Pamac did the same thing (presumably, difficult to say since it doesn’t show output during boot) for some minutes as the system booted up just prior to writing this.
Oh, now it stopped writing text and asks me a question I don’t know the answer to:
warning: lua-sec: unknown key '%PACKAGER%Ddaurnimato </daurnimatoe@archlinux.org>' in sync database
error: could not read db 'extra' (Damaged tar archive)
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
lib32-libjpeg-turbo
Is the package a standard package that cannot be upgraded because of the corrupt tar archive and the extra db problem above, or can I just skip this and solve any issues regarding that package later?
The last thing I installed on the system was mkdocs
from official (IIRC). I don’t think I installed anything else recently.
And what does this bit about the error: could not read db 'extra' (Damaged tar archive)
mean exactly? The extra database seem to be a db file of some sort (unknown to me what it is), but pacman complains about a tar archive. What goes on with that? Is it an installed package archive of some sort that is corrupt? Or what?
Any ideas how to solve this? I’ll leave the pacman Terminal prompt open for now, so if there are any answers regarding that, I might go further then.
If you need any other info, let me know. I don’t know what would be beneficial for any problem solving at this time.
Thanks.
