[Solved] Pacman unable to look up keys remotely
My [testing] install has been running pacman 4 ever since Allan put a provisional package up for testing (outside the [testing] repo). The key verification worked okay.
However, I am not able to upgrade any more packages it seems, due to pacman being unable to look up the keys online. I don't know if the gnupg 2 move has anything to do with it. I already tried changing the key server in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf from the default one to the MIT one (which seems to be a lot more responsive). That doesn't help any.
This is what pacman spits out:
error: libnfs: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: afpfs-ng: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: libshairport: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: xbmc: key "DB323392796CA067" is unknown
error: key "DB323392796CA067" could not be looked up remotely
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.Curiously, all those packages are xbmc 11.0 and its new dependencies. It's just one key. I ran pacman-key -u and it says there is no need for updating (I may be misled about the purpose of the -u option though 
).
Any pointers?

Re: [Solved] Pacman unable to look up keys remotely
Thanks.
Too bad there was nothing about that on the general dev ML, or I must have overlooked it. I have followed the discussion about dropping the gnupg 1.4 branch, but no mention whatsoever of this breakage that the patch mentioned in the dev ML will fix.
