[SOLVED]New Pacman, please show me the way...

Hi,

Okay, it's been a while since my last post.
I just did a sysup, pacman has been asking me for the keys...I did issue

pacman-key --init

and re-issue

pacman -Syu

now it keeps asking to impot keys. Where do I look for info? Sorry If I come with a question that has been answered but right now, I'm pretty nervous...

Tnks

Thor

No, not done yet, (hit me on the head) - how do I do that again?

Edit : I never changed the conf, could'nt I simply use the pacnew as config instead?

I'd start with searching the wiki. Ah, there it is: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … save_Files

In this case, yeah, just do

$ sudo mv /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf.backup
$ sudo mv /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew /etc/pacman.conf

and the same for makepkg.conf.

You're welcome. Next time please read the front page news and do as they tell you:

As always, please make sure to merge your pacnew files!

Re: [SOLVED]New Pacman, please show me the way...

I did, the merging was somewhat of a blind spot...eh, I learned something new. And, yes, the frontpage SHOULD be the starting point, learned that last time...
Marking this as solved now!
