[Solved] errors with keys after pacman update?

Hi,
I installed pacman 4.0.1-4, but now this is what happens when I try and update.

When pacman updated it suggested that I run this command,

sudo pacman-key --init

I know that usually I would say yes to a key and pacman should remember it, but what are all the errors?

have you seen the news?

mich04 · 2012-01-20 12:29:53

well, I saw that it was disabled, but I can not update any packages at the moment. I wasn't really interested in trying it out yet. Should I just downgrade pacman until it is ready?

karol · 2012-01-20 12:34:08

pacman is ready.

read it again.

it says two things
1) if you don't want package signing, MERGE your pacnew!.
2) if you want package signing, then read the wiki or allan's blog to see how to set up the keyring

mich04 · 2012-01-20 14:18:45

Your smily face and your post make it very confusing. I can not tell if you are getting angry or happy... , but here is the news article that I read. http://www.archlinux.org/news/pacman-4-moves-to-core/ or were you speaking of Allen's blog? I have gone through that, but it seems to talk more about how to enable the package signing. Could you point me to the links that you are referring to so that I may read them and figure it out from there?

Thank you I really appreciate all of your help and commitment to this site and to us the users.

Can you post your pacman.conf?

Here it is.

Are you sure you've merged the pacnew files?

mich04 · 2012-01-20 14:48:52

I am not sure I have read through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … save_Files, but I still do not see a clear answer. Could you show me an article or give me more information on that?

karol · 2012-01-20 14:52:23

No clear answer to what?
I'm sorry, but I have to point out that Arch is a system for advanced users, so you may have to pick some other distro.

How come that only now you say you haven't merged these files. Previously you said you did what the announcement told you to do.

natestar13 · 2012-01-20 16:15:38

@mich04

You're having two separate errors. The first one dealing with "unknown trust" is a result of your pacman.conf file being incorrect. Read the the new /etc/pacman.conf.new file and the pacman-key wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman-key. You must add a SigLevel option separately to each enabled repository. Also, it is best to add the Master Keys (as recommended in the wiki), which apply to most of the packages in [core] and [extra].

The second error you're getting is "key *blah* could not be imported". This means pacman-key tried to query the keyserver for the specified key, but either timed out or didn't get a response. Since pacman4 was recently applied to [core], a lot of users are now using the key-signing, so the servers are getting bogged down. Just try to get the key again and it should work. You can manually add a user's key with the following commands:

# pacman-key -r <keyid>

# pacman-key --lsign-key <keyid>

Where "keyid" is the 8-digit number for the user you're trying to add (for example, 9205AC90 is the keyid fo eric@archlinux.org)

Also, @karol, thanks for the initial posts in this forum, but you don't have to be a condescending jerk if people don't understand what they're supposed to do. We all started out as newbies

@mich04 your pacman.conf seems mostly default, just do mv /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew /etc/pacman.conf and enable multilib again.

I don't know you.I understand that you don't feel great.
But karol is one of the coolest guys you can see in arch linux forums.
You will come to understand it later.
welcome to Arch!

@karol I never said that I merged the files, and also I believe that Arch Linux is for advanced users, but the fact of the matter is that nobody is perfect. I know that I am not at all. And sometimes people need some help, that's how we learn and that is why I choose Arch. Also I was refering to the package signing I understand that pacman is ready, but the fact of the matter is that the package signing is still fairly new.

@hardrons123 I do not understand, but is it cool to push someone away and not even give the chance to learn? Pointing out to me that Arch Linux is for "advanced users", which is a broad term in itself is just not cool. Knowledge is vast and not one person holds it all.

Again I appreciate all the help that everyone has given me in this forum, I am really glad that their are resources like Arch Linix (The wikis in particular) available to all And I am really trying to post less on this forum, sometimes though it is just easier to ask.

Moving to "Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues".

markg85 · 2012-02-18 13:53:47

Hi,

Just making this post for anyone else ending up here for the same reason like i did, That was: updating my pc installed pacman 4 followed by an unupdatable system due to a LOT of requests from pacman to allow a key..
It turns out (obvious now) that pacman installs a /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew which is kinda vital!

If you install a new Archlinux you probably don't need to do anything!

However...

If you update an existing archlinux... then you have to look at the /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew since that by defaults turns off key checking! That default option doesn't exist pre pacman 4. Just look at the changes and merge (some of) them in your pacman.conf

note to devs, it certainly would have been nice to make this a lot more obvious when installing the pacman update. Also when introducing a new feature like this it would be very nice to let the SigLevel, when not set at all, fall back to the current default "Never". That would have saved a lot of time for a lot of people.
