[SOLVED]Failed to install packages to new root

Hi
I am reinstalling Arch. The image that I use from usb is coulple month old. I am trying to ceep my old /home partition, so I just mounted the old /home partition to the new file system. The root partition is new, after mkfs.ext4.
After choosing a mirror and running

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel

all the packages ware downloaded and it continued to the installation. Then the output was

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
(133/133) checking keys in keyring
downloading required keys...
:: Import PGP key 4096R/, "Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com>", created: 2014-02-04? [Y/n]
error: key "Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com>" could not be imported
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

I run the

pacman-key --init && pacman-key -populate archlinux

but it didnt help. I check the time, and it seems to be O.K.

thanks for reading.

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
