Hi:
I have just installed the rolling release when I went to update Firefox I received the following error:

Thanks for your reply. Did a copy paste and executed the command. Then attempted to install firefox-kde with the same results:

Again thanks for the reply Hope a developer see’s this and is fixed soon.

shot in the dark here:
– clear cache –
sudo pacman -Scc
– force database update –
sudo pacman -Syy
– upgrade/downgrade all packages –
sudo pacman -Suu

There was a know manjaro problem, but I didn’t think it would affect blueshell, but it’s worth a shot:
sudo pacman-key -r 5C0102A6
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 5C0102A6
also check and see if firefox was already updated.

If sudo pacman -Syu is coming up with “There is nothing to do”, this would mean firefox-kde is already up-to-date. The blueshell repository is already a part of the system, and firefox-kde is installed by default. I’d like to know what you mean by trying to run the firefox-kde install from blueshell?
PS. since I prefer chrome i had firefox-kde uninstalled, I just installed firefox-kde on my system with no error, do you by chance have firefox already installed instead of firefox-kde?

When I started to have problems with upgrading Firefox-KDE, I thought maybe it was some weird problem with the upgrade so I removed Firefox. How ever the problem still persist when I try a new install of Firefox-KDE.

One more try:
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
sudo pacman -S firefox-kde

I think maybe your getting a bad download. I have never seen anything quite like this before. I wonder if the file in the repository is actually corrupted, are you running the 32 bit or the 64 bit release so it can be checked?

Ok it might be something is wrong with your pacman.conf file, lets try this:
sudo mv /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf.old
sudo mv /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew /etc/pacman.conf
sudo pacman-key --init

OK, so your system did not have a pacman.conf.pacnew the last update actualy made a new pacman.conf and moved the old one to pacman.conf.pacorig.
new commands:
sudo rm /etc/pacman.conf.old
sudo mv /etc/pacman.conf.pacorig /etc/pacman.conf
sudo pacman-mirrors -g -b stable
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Suu
