pacman 4 error: <package>: key "****" is unknown

I tried to do a full system update, but pacman told me to update pacman first.
After i updated pacman i get this error when i try to update/install something:

error: libcap-ng: key "E8F18BA1615137BC" is unknown
:: Import PGP key 615137BC, "Ionut Biru <ibiru@archlinux.org>", created 2011-04-19? [Y/n] y
error: cifs-utils: key "771DF6627EDF681F" is unknown
:: Import PGP key 7EDF681F, "Tobias Powalowski <tpowa@archlinux.org>", created 2011-07-18? [Y/n]

I have no idea what to do, can someone point me in the right direction?

Rofl, fixed.

Had to replace pacman.conf with pacman.conf.pacnew

Btw, i got this msg while updating:
warning: /etc/rc.conf installed as /etc/rc.conf.pacnew
Should i replace rc.conf also with rc.conf.pacnew?

Read man pacman, and also this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … save_Files .

Clearly, you're not reading the news regularly - you should, particularly before upgrading.

If you're not prepared to pay attention to your system and intervene manually as required, there are other distros that may be more suitable for you.
