Re: pacman error
Are you using [testing]?
Don't run 'pacman -Sy foo': https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89328
Edit: Ah, now you're the first to respond, Mr Ryan :-)

Arch Linux is for competent users, but it's enough if you can read and follow the guide.
Disable [testing] and downgrade to regular repos.

You need to fix pacman first and then disable the testing repos and run the downgrade command.

Moved to [testing]. To the OP - read the wiki please.

Re: pacman error
As for the advice jasonwryan gave you, a good start may be to google the error message you're getting: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A … ignature)) - you get plenty of info just from this one query.

I hope you learned something in the process of solving it yourself. That was sort of the point of making you "walk an extra mile".
