I am having issues updating my Artix (Arch based) Linux.

I use these commands to get the latest mirror list and launch pacman:

% sudo pacman -U ./artix-mirrorlist-20221209-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
% sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
% sudo pacman -Sy --needed archlinux-keyring
% sudo pacman -Syyu

This always worked successfully in the past, but in the last few months this is the output I get:

100  100k  100  100k    0     0   401k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  402k

and it keeps going on like that for a long time.

Then this is what I am asked for:

I tried giving different answers to those questions, but the result is always the same.

What am I doing wrong?

Your keyring is out of date, and without it packages cannot be validated. In general, before upgrading, make sure you get the latest archlinux-keyring first:

% sudo pacman -Sy --needed archlinux-keyring
% sudo pacman -Su

Always run one immediately after the other to avoid partial upgrades.

You can also do this with pacman-key --refresh-key as root, but the keyservers tend to be somewhat more error prone than installing the latest archlinux-keyring package.

  • Switching "arch" with "artix" should work with my distribution...

  • @Pietro Please don't put the "arch-linux" tag on non-Arch questions, derivatives of Arch are usually sufficiently different to require different answers, so it's misleading.

  • The problem is Artix Linux is in 95th position on DistroWatch, and if I use this as the only tag I may not get any answer at all.

  • Worked fine with artix-keyring

  • I am afraid that with the update I have being trying to do in the past days, the problem reoccurred, even following your indications... There must be something else.
