Did mistake by installing reflector and now got ssl error

Postby destroyedlolo » Sat Nov 08, 2025 9:26 pm

Hello,

As I did on my x86 boxes, I installed Reflector on my Arm one ... which was a big mistake :o
It corrupted my mirrorlist ... and obviously, I did made a backup (as it was seamless on my PC :roll: ).

After some search, my mirrorlist is now
[code]Server =make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'https://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/$arch/$repo', '', ' class="postlink"')[/code]

Is it right ?

But, when I'm trying to update my system, I got :
[code]$ yay -Suy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core.db failed to download
extra.db failed to download
alarm.db failed to download
aur.db failed to download
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target hostname 'mirror.archlinuxarm.org'
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target hostname 'mirror.archlinuxarm.org'
error: failed retrieving file 'alarm.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target hostname 'mirror.archlinuxarm.org'
warning: too many errors from mirror.archlinuxarm.org, skipping for the remainder of this transaction
error: failed retrieving file 'aur.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target hostname 'mirror.archlinuxarm.org'
error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)
-> error refreshing databases - exit status 1
[/code]

Any tips to recover ?

Thanks

You are close :D

It's
[code]
## Geo-IP based mirror selection and load balancing
Server =make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/$arch/$repo', '', ' class="postlink"')
[/code]
with "http" instead of "https"
