Oops, flagged out of date by accident.

@cyisfor The official databases are not signed. I agree that they should be but doing that is not trivial due to the chain of custody and the way they are released. You can avoid the redundant checks by correctly configuring your pacman.conf file. See the powerpill forum thread for details.

Oh, no when it DOES find the *.db.sig files, it's that just one of the mirrors is a bad webserver. It returns a 200 OK HTML document saying "File not found" in german. (I think). Then the signatures don't verify, since they're HTML files, and you can't upgrade.

Download aborted, *.db.sig, Resource not found (10 min later, same thing...) Don't any of the pacman mirrors have the signatures for the current databases? It seems like a thing they ought to have. Are all the mirrors just trying to shave off that 2K by omitting the files, or are perhaps the signatures are stored under a different filename? It finds them... eventually... perhaps the signatures are ONLY stored on the main mirror, and checking the others is an exercise in futility? At any rate, it makes powerpill mostly unusable for upgrades, if it's going to spend a half hour checking every single mirror for signature files that they just don't have.

nevermind... i confused --log-level with --console-log-level

izenn commented on 2014-04-08 20:59 (UTC)

powerpill seems to be ignoring this part of the aria2c config: "--log-level=error", I am constantly getting messages this on the console: 04/08 15:49:59 [NOTICE] Verification finished successfully. file=/var/cache/pacman/pkg/bash-4.3.008-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 04/08 15:49:59 [NOTICE] Download complete: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bash-4.3.008-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 04/08 15:49:59 [NOTICE] Verification finished successfully. file=/var/cache/pacman/pkg/readline-6.3.003-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 04/08 15:49:59 [NOTICE] Download complete: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/readline-6.3.003-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Maybe next time try to make it clear by just saying it. Not everybody knows in which function exactly is every dependency needed, thats why a said about -Ss. Anyway, fixed

Xyne commented on 2014-04-06 12:59 (UTC)

You need to rebuild the entire dependency hierarchy (pm2ml, etc.) against the new version of Python, not just powerpill. I don't know how to make this any clearer.
