[SOLVED] Netflix Repo Key Issue

Whenever I reboot Arch, I always am greeted with the following message:

Import PGP key , "Jesus Alvarez <jeezusjr@gmail.com>", created 2012-10-23? [Y/n] y
error: key "Jesus Alvarez <jeezusjr@gmail.com>" could not be imported

Granted, it's not a huge deal since I can just press Y a few times and all is good. What is annoying though is the fact that this keeps happening, which means that I must have done something wrong.

Either way, I was curious if anyone has experienced these issues before. Since the SigLevel for archnetflix was originally set to Required, I decided to just change it to Optional TrustAll.

This actually helped in a sense, because it prevented this:

error: database 'archnetflix' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

from being voiced.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

# REPOSITORIES

#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the

Re: [SOLVED] Netflix Repo Key Issue

That is not helping at all. You are simply hiding the error that pacman is reporting. The right way to fix it would be to investigate if the package is actually corrupt and take appropriate action.

You need to understand the key options of pacman. If you simply trustall any package that pacman reports as invalid, you are basically not using the security feature of pacman at all

Re: [SOLVED] Netflix Repo Key Issue

Cool, thanks.

I believe I solved it by using systemctl to stop gnupg, removing the gnupg folder, disabling the link to the netflix repo, and then running pacman-key --init; pacman-key --populate archlinux; pacman -Syy.
