PGP key issue - Cannot download packets

Hi. I'n having trouble by issuing the pacstrap command.
I get the typical error:

error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
error: GPGME error: No data
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core                                                                                                                 848.0   B   207K/s 00:00 [#######################################################################################] 100%

error: GPGME error: No data
error: failed to update core (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
extra

I tried changing mirrors, initializing and populating gnupg key unsuccessfully.

Any idea?

Re: PGP key issue - Cannot download packets

Do you actually have an internet connection? Can you bring up elinks and go to google?

I didn't say to ping anything, I said to open elinks.

@Juszr, what Scimmia means is whether your DNS is working properly or not.

Re: PGP key issue - Cannot download packets

I was actually thinking more of things like captive portals.

I managed with this. It was a firewall issue.

Thanks anyways
