[SOLVED]Pacman failed: "invalid or corrupted package"

Hi everyone,
I'm Lorenzo and I installed arch-linux in dual boot. The installations went right and i chose KDE plasma 5 as desktop enviroment.  I installed vim, python, dialog, etc etc using pacman. But after I have launched KDE plasma 5 pacman stoped to work. In particular for chromium. This is the output:

Error: chromium: signature from "Evangelos Foutras <evangelos@foutrelis.com>" is invalid
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/chromium-64.0.3282.119-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] Y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

In debug mode it said error 34:

error: chromium: signature from "Evangelos Foutras <evangelos@foutrelis.com>" is invalid
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/chromium-64.0.3282.119-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] n
debug: returning error 34 from check_validity : invalid or corrupted package
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I have read some articles about similar problems but nothing has worked.
What i did:
1- sudo hwclock -w (as it is written in the italian guide of pacman when this kind of problem occurs )
2- sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

Obviously i still have the same problem
Thank a lot for everyone who will try to help me.
Sorry for my english.

That looks more like a simple bad download or bad mirror. Try a different mirror.

Please post the output of

pacman-key --list-keys evangelos@foutrelis.com

Mod note: moving to pacman issues.

Thank a lot for the tips.
I updated the mirrorlist file using rankmirror. Now it works.
Thank again
