[SOLVED] Question about error updating system

I am trying to update with

pacman -Syu

and I get some errors that look like

error: libcap: signature from "David Runge <dvzrv@archlinux.org>" is marginal trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libcap-2.65-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

Looking through the forum, some people say that they fixed this with

 pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring 

But the wiki explicitly says to never run

 pacman -Sy single-package 

I am a newbie, so I just wanted to ask if this is for sure the way to fix my problem. I don't want to mess anything up and then spend a lot of time fixing stuff.

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Question about error updating system

In this specific instance, this is the correct approach. Make sure once the keyring is updated, you do a full system update with `-Syu`.
