On step 3 I went to /etc/pacman.conf and I couldnt find [multilib] I could only find [multilib-rel]. So I added ‘[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist’ like the guide said. Then I did sudo pacman -Syu and the update failed.
holo-rel is up to date
core-rel is up to date
extra-rel is up to date
community-rel is up to date
multilib-rel is up to date
multilib.db failed to download
error: failed retrieving file ‘multilib.db’ from steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud : The requested URL returned error: 404
error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)
This is my pacman.conf file and at the bottom is the line I added for multilib.
Then after that I went through the steps and got to installing lutris. Which gave me this error for every package required. Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: python-lxml: signature from "Felix Yan " is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-lxml-4.9.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] ^C
Thank you for the great logs and very thorough reply! Here’s what I’d do!

Since the [multilib-rel] section is already there, I’d just make sure that’s uncommented. I wouldn’t add the [multilib] section. Seems like that could be a typo perhaps. In the upstream Arch mirrors, it’s [multilib], so they probably got it mixed up. If this works, I’d write the author of this guide to have them correct it.

Sounds like the PGP keys are either not synced or out-of-date. Assuming the Deck works like upstream Arch, you should be able to run:
What part did you get stuck on?
I wasn’t sure if I did step 3 or 4 correctly a d when I did step 5 it failed.
How did you do step 3 and 4, and how did you know step 5 failed?

Hope this works! Let me know if you run into any more friction and I’m happy to help!
