Hello, I followed the official instructions about gnugpg and the pacman keyring https://www.archlinux.org/news/gnupg-21 … n-keyring/
pacman -Syu haveged
systemctl start haveged
systemctl enable haveged
rm -fr /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
which worked fine for the main repositories.
As I use the infinality-bundle repository I had to re-add the key for infinality but that led to that error:
# pacman-key -r 962DDE58
gpg: keyserver receive failed: System error w/o errno
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.
Meanwhile I know that changing the keyserver to the mit-keyserver prevents that error:
/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
--------------------------
no-greeting
no-permission-warning
lock-never
keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371
keyserver-options timeout=10
This combination of problem and solution is shared by two other users:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1482676
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1482709
So while the solution/workaround is clear, I'd like to understand why that problem appeared in the first place.
Any idea?

The key servers are notoriously flakey: I am pretty sure that is mentioned in the wiki article on GPG.

So it's probably not my fault? Good to know. Maybe the server was overload due to that gnupgp change?
Thanks for your answer!
