[SOLVED] gpgme error: Bad file descriptor

I tried to install a new system today. I chrooted into it and wanted to install some packages, but all I got was this error instead:

error: GPGME Error: bad file descriptor
error: <package>: missing required signature

And that for each and every single package...

I ran pacman-key --init and --populate, set SigLevel to Optional in pacman.conf, did pacman -Syu and all you want, still got the same error.

Set up your chroot properly...   (mount /dev, /sys etc....)

... which I have. Still the same.

OMG! I re-checked and found out there's no procfs in my chroot. Damn me it works now... what did I learn today? double-check your chroot.

Thanks
