it seems that ftp://ftp.archlinuxppc.org and that /core/os/ppc is there,
networking it set up correctly, and yet my install falls downloading
packages. did i miss the memo?

gnupg.

tty5 shows dhcpcd starting, acquiring a lease, and forking to
background. then package dbs get synced (goes to 100% and core is up
to date). then it attempts to resolve dependencies and dies on the
first one. gnupg, a dependency of gpgme, as part of trying to upgrade
pacman.

seems pretty fundamental :D

though that's fixed, the install still fails. not sure how i can
output tty5 somehow so i'll just type it all out here:

checking package integrity...
error: error while reading package /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/ca-
certificates-20111211-2-any.pkg.tar.xz: Pathname in pax header can't
be converted to current locale.
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
ca-certificates-20111211-2-any-pkg.tar.xz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.

thought i'd check out the output of "locale" and found:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or
directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

in /etc/locale.gen the locale is there:
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

and after a "locale-gen" we have LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 and everything
proceeds like normal.

…so far ;)

spoke too soon. set up all my config files and

error: 'kernel26-pmac': could not find or read package

indeed looking at ftp://ftp.archlinuxppc.org/core/os/ppc/ it seems that
this should be of of

That must be set in /etc/locale-gen by glibc post-install routine.
If it have failed, we must check glibc packages (but it is the same of
x86...)

So, installer is ufficially broken, as we have linux-pmac instead of
kernel26-pmac.

So, mount your /, then do a manual pacman installation.

I solved this one on my own heh I feel good! The easiest way to fix it is:

1. nano /arch/setup

2. scroll down to the line the says something along the lines of echo "[core] server info" >>/etc/pacman.conf (it will be in the prepare_pacman function

3. Add this line directly after the previously mentioned one

echo "SigLevel = Never" >>/etc/pacman.conf

reinstall from the /arch/setup and shablam no key errors
