The problem seems to be gpg, but I don't know what to make of this "no name" error.

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

Did you search the key "abc" instead of "CEB167EFB5722BD6"? It works for me.

can you run "pacman -Syu" again? and post full output. maybe is a temporary issue with the server.

check also the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … leshooting

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

Yes, I searched for the key as well, and it doesn't seem to be a temporary issue.
I added all relevant lines of "pacman -Syu" above.

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

You can try changing the gpg.conf of your pacman-key keyring in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ to use the hkps:// keyserver instead of the hkp:// keyserver, since hkps runs over the common 443 port also used for HTTPS.

Alternatively, install the archlinux-keyring package from testing as it contains my new signing key also.

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

I got the same uninformative "gpg: error searching keyserver: No name" error with hkps:// keyserver specified in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf and via --keyserver

Installing archlinux-keyring from testing fixed my pacman issue.
Thanks!

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

is there a way to solve this problem without installing the package from testing?

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

You can install the package from testing without having to enable the [testing] repo, archlinux-keyring is one of the few packages where this is safe to do.

pacman -U http://mirror2.f4st.host/archlinux/testing/os/x86_64/archlinux-keyring-20180108-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

The real fix is to fix gpg. I have no idea what the "No name" error is, you'd probably want to talk to upstream.

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

for me - the problem was solved after I re-enabled IPv6 once I realized that
`pacman-key --refresh-keys`

fails with the error

`keyserver refresh failed: Address family not supported by protocol`

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

That's a different problem from mine

$ pacman-key --refresh-keys 
gpg: refreshing 100 keys from hkps://pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No name

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

Hi,

I also get the exact same error when running "pacman -Syu" on one of my machines (strangely, my desktop was updated without an issue), though, in my case, the error message I get from running "pacman-key --refresh-keys" complains that no keyserver is available:

# pacman-key --refresh-keys
gpg: refreshing 99 keys from hkp://ipv4.pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371
gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.

Using keyring from testing also resolved my case.

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

I had the exact same error during -Syu

downloading required keys...
error: key "CEB167EFB5722BD6" could not be looked up remotely
error: required key missing from keyring
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)

So I switched keyserver to keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371 as suggested in the wiki
And the -Syu completed successfully

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

Rather than bumping the thread with an empty post, did you try changing the keyserver?

This worked for me: almost certainly I had an old keyserver.

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

Funnily enough, hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net:443 is the default if keyserver is not specified. See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55278

Re: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name

hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net:443 works fine

This setting in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf, a subsequent `pacman-key --refresh-keys` and a final `pacman -Syu` resolved the issue for me; the last pacman command then asked whether to import key BD27B07A5EF45C2ADAF70E0484818A6819AF4A9B and proceeded normally. No sideloading of the testing package needed.
