Java RE 8 signature problem

Hi,

When I try to install jre8-openjdk, I get this signature error:

$ LANG=C sudo pacman -S jdk8-openjdk
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (4) java-environment-common-2-2  jre8-openjdk-8.u121-1

:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/jre8-openjdk-headless-8.u121-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

Am I doing anything wrong, or should I report this as a bug?
Thanks in advance.

My system uses ntpd already, and despite I repeated the commands anyway. This still does not fix the issue.

After further checks that time is accurate, I still have not been able to fix this. I have reported it: FS#53964.

Re: Java RE 8 signature problem

Remove the package from your cache and try again. Make sure you keyring is set up correctly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … ge_signing

Did that already. Cache empty, I also reset my keyring and reinstalled it.

Re: Java RE 8 signature problem

I see that my bug report has been closed by Scimmia. I uderstand the signature is ok, but I wish there was further explanation. What can be causing this, in addtion to time? This is important for the documentation too. Or is this problem related to another issue reported here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53642 ?

Refreshing keys fails at the moment (awaiting for a new GPG version) and refreshing keys give me:

...
gpg: key DA6426DD215B37AD: "Guillaume ALAUX <guillaume@archlinux.org>" 55 new signatures
...

Could this be the issue?
