yaourt tint2-git key issue

cxyandy · 2015-07-10 03:49:41

I followed an online document to build GUI environment, and it recommended me to install tint2 and tint2-git. However, while installing it with yaourt, it just showed as below:

downloading required keys...
error: key "7A4E76095D8A52E4" could not be looked up remotely
error: required key missing from keyring
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)

How to solve this problem? Is it feasible to disable such checkings in yaourt? How to modify the configuration file to realise it?

Many thanks!

Firstly, you cannot install both tint2 and tint2-git. Only one of those. Secondly, instead of following any random online document for installing/configuring Arch, you should refer to the Arch Wiki.

Lastly, I was able to install both tint2 and tint2-git (individually ), without getting that key error.

Can you show the exact command you used and the full output?

Oh thank you! Indeed I really suffered a lot from random on-line documents. Almost every document contains inaccurate information.

Now I'm reading the Arch Wiki and find it very powerful and useful. (Before this I thought it was very difficult to find useful information on wikis).

I think I'll find some other ways to build the Desktop Environment... I found tint2-git from a random document, and now I'm using openbox (which is also referred in that document).

I may read more about Arch Wiki and then ask. (And... now I don't even know how to copy and paste in Xterm, oh no....)

Then don't use yaourt.

That is apparent from the immediate use of yaourt.

You may want to see the following thread and some of the bits linked from it:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199369

Then get rid of yaourt until you know what it is doing (or just permanently) and if you want to use the AUR, read the wiki:

Regarding the issue of importing keys generally - the pacman-key article is the resource to consult.

No, it really isn't. makepkg doesn't use pacman's keyring for this.

Edit: Wait a minute, this isn't about validpgpkeys. Sorry, my bad.
