I am trying to install Arch in a Virtual Box on a Windows 10 host and it appears that pacman does not work no matter what mirrors I have in /erc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
I get multiple lines like
error: could not read db 'core' (Damaged tar archive) error: could not read db 'extra' (Damaged tar archive) error: could not read db 'community' (Damaged tar archive)
What can be the issue here?
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
? Have you checked the status of the mirrors? Did you refresh the package lists withpacman -Syy
? Have you tried downloading other files (with curl or wget) that have a checksum or signature?
