pacman signature unknown trust

was trying to update by running the following :

 sudo pacman -Syyu 

tried resetting all keys as instructed here : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … l_the_keys

also tried cleaning the catch as following :

 sudo pacman -Sc && yay -Sc 

and no matter what i do it will display the following error after checking ~430 keyrings and package integrity :

error: exiv2: signature from "Caleb Maclennan <alerque@archlinux.org>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/exiv2-0.28.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

Re: pacman signature unknown trust

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring; sudo pacman -Su

Don’t skip the second step.

Re: pacman signature unknown trust

Thank you SO much.  I use my laptop once per year and this is the seventh page I've been to in an attempt to fix this.
