I cleaned keys, clean cache and retry but I'm still getting the same error
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys --keyserver arojas
sudo pacman -Sc
sudo pacman -S plasma-meta
I searched quite a bit, tried a lot of things I saw on the internet, but couldn't fix this problem.

-Sy archlinux-keyring to refresh that first, but this old of a kernel and this kind of issue reads like you are doing partial upgrades, don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … nsupported

Thank you for you time @V1del

I'm getting the same problem while trying to install plasma-kde.
Why I have an old kernel version ? I treid refreshing my system with
$ sudo pacman --sync --refresh
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
$ sudo pacman --sync --needed archlinux-keyring
warning: archlinux-keyring-20210902-1 is up to date -- skipping
there is nothing to do
$ sudo pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date

community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
I have always done my system updates with
sudo pacman -Syu
What else can I do ?

That should be fine, this looks like a corrupted download, have you tried just deleting those packages from the cache and downloading them again?
Potentially also a generally broken mirror, pick one with a low delay time put it on the top of your list: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/#successful

I tried reinstalling the plasma-meta and I'm still getting the same invalid or corrupted PGP signature problem.
I trired to use a different mirroir like `http://mirror.lty.me/archlinux/` and by following this procedure https://linuxhint.com/update_pacman_dat … 20press%20.

i finally succeeded
I removed all the file from the `/var/cache/pacman/pkg/` having a "Unrecognized archive format" and then
sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -Sc
sudo pacman -S plasma-meta
