[SOLVED] PGP key error

I'm getting this when doing pacman -Syu

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
(38/38) checking keys in keyring                   [#####] 100%
downloading required keys...
:: Import PGP key C132293954BBE4AD, "Sergej Pupykin <spupykin@a
rchlinux.org>"? [Y/n] y
error: key "C132293954BBE4AD" could not be looked up remotely
error: required key missing from keyring
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

A temporary issue, or a problem I need to fix?

Re: [SOLVED] PGP key error

Apologies, I used too specific a search. Solution as given to run

pacman -S archlinux-keyring

before system update.

For the next time, I've found that Google search is better than the on-site forum search. For example, entering `"required key missing from keyring" site:archlinux.org` into startpage.com will get you good results without having to sort through noise.

I just did a Google search and this is the only page that was a hit for me.  If this topic didn't exist, Google wouldn't have helped.
