can't install linux-lts-headers

hi,

facing trouble with viafb,  I tried to install linux-lts-headers along with linux-lts.
first, "pacman" complains about "invalid or corrupted package"
then, I refreshed pacman-key after siglevel = never and back in /etc/pacman.conf
with no effect
so, I tried to install from /var/cache/pacman/pkg, but then pacman complains about "ggc_libs="
gcc_libs is installed though.

--
btw, how come there are so many/often "invalid or corrupted package"?

See https://bugs.archlinux32.org/index.php? … ask_id=365.

Depending on how often you update a system, you can be unfortunate and hit a point where our keys expired.
Then there is no other way than to update the keyring-archlinux32 package and the keys there in manually
first, before doing a regular pacman update again.

I update as soon as updates are available (i noticed that late updates lead to "invalid or corrupted"), so I made a daily cron that does a `checkupdates'.

in this case, update went with no problem before trying to install linux-lts-headers.

Mmh. So linux-lts has been signed at a bad moment maybe, ok. I'll retriger a build of the linux-lts package and then let's see.

Re: can't install linux-lts-headers

btw. you can also install the devtools32-git package and build an AUR kernel like linux-lts515 or so by yourself. That's
what I'm doing on old hardware, as I only expect new kernels to break old drivers. :->

Re: can't install linux-lts-headers

what a jump! previous version was 5.5... iirc

still no go for linux-lts-headers; nothing changed, even after I followed https://bugs.archlinux32.org/index.php? … ask_id=365, i still get :

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-lts-headers-6.12.13-1.1-pentium4.pkg.tar.zst
loading packages...
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "gcc-libs=", a dependency of "linux-lts-headers"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      linux-lts-headers

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] 
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'gcc-libs=' required by linux-lts-headers

gcc-libs are installed:

# pacman -Qs gcc-libs
