[SOLVED] PGP signature fail with makepkg with AUR packages

Note: recent '/home' directory restore had some files missing

gpg reports key "not changed"

[--ljohnson{11:11:45}qpdfview]$ makepkg -i
==> Making package: qpdfview 0.5.0-2 (Tue 20 Jun 2023 11:20:21 AM PDT)

==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
[--ljohnson{11:20:29}qpdfview]$ sudo gpg --recv-keys  F4928C4DD24D4DF8
gpg: key F4928C4DD24D4DF8: "Adam Reichold <adam.reichold@t-online.de>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

I am lost when attempting to debug this anomaly.

Also happens with https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git

Re: [SOLVED] PGP signature fail with makepkg with AUR packages

sudo gpg --recv-keys  F4928C4DD24D4DF8

Which users keyring does that add the key to?  Is that the same user you are running makepkg as?

The solution is the same as in solution at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285664 .

Thanks loqs for the gentle reminder, at 80 years of age memory slips.

It seems that deleting '~/.gnupg' for each use of makepkg in aur.linux.org updates will be required.

You can probably avoid that by not running gpgp --recv-keys with sudo in the first place.

VIdel...

Since I no longer run

gpgp --recv-keys

as superuser and deleting '~/.gnupg' for each use of makepkg is still required, is there another way of avoiding this?

Thx

Why is it required?
