Installation path was archinstall along with some post-install configuration needed to enable accessibility among other things. Successful boot with speech coming up. Then as root pacman -Syu I get back an error saying pacman cannot lock data bases and pacman fails.
This indicatess, there is some /var/lib/pacman/db.lock - either due to a still-running pacman or because some past pacman run did not finish properly. Check for the file and if no pacman is running, delete it.
pacman-key --populate ran before the pacman command and finished with no problems. What did I do wrong?
No idea, why pacman crashed on its last run :-) regards, Erich -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE3p92iMrPBP64GmxZCu7JB1Xae1oFAmEAPowACgkQCu7JB1Xa e1rpDA//YyBm0FZ5TVlda+BKLfozAYAQJ3fODHiwwLsdSKNS/UGQeQro7O0JUWCa 5BkJA/WTgwMs3Kwji+opaFPM7mr9D7MeO/0Aj5+RzJSTLh3zDYDzv5GDnnh3PVbP f0ddWSatHFRpfp9NGgzv1ZZOW8teRCLoKnhkcCfBUQEHZ1d2IxAMh9a1UBbcAbo1 UNjZhA70Cu53DH3GT1sXuSUl4c9IBicIXx8ttjl++kWgpD9Qjjf5B27iOQNhYQTX CzpW7OJDApNFwlUCYiz0ERdCc9NzbMHbMBvaHg7E+XcTiBppb/0SYgiL8nn7lpx+ UsSUibxf0WJyHAJ0Te7jgZVeKqKHgMdcPvN4/8S4dW7MzcX+nV/JYul8cMoPBHjQ 43eTxMlv4fdf8KD+Kkt2C/Mug7gjjkCkiyfB0neuw9R3gc94glp+ZjuMTQ3SeWLX cSG7GFlqKNCQqD1Y8NHiU1CDPNFEXoaDbsSN4WtNR/4F1TMXZs1/uZHWuVjLbBoX sk/qZoq4Se0XH5+2jZcLbP6EDUwlShc7gpo43RLt0lPZA7TgJh/JP0sOvJeViMHO x/gndxJ1N1yst4+nFhbWQte7ARPc4APEYZQ9pm+8FhGnVcvvc/uAj68ZA7fklKNW SJzVNmrL1KNqbOZ35LlpKVe36npExu061dT0AcYFuu671NFd1rI= =jO1P -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
