pacman-key issue?

aias4 · 2012-05-10 15:55:38

I have an issue with trying to run pacman -Syu. My keys were all setup and I was able to run the command a few times in the past. yesterday though I got this error:

error: isl: signature from "Allan McRae <me@allanmcrae.com>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))

the strange part is that I can individually still install packages. it just seems to be the "isl" update. is anyone else having this issue? I did an inital seach and couldn't find anything in the forums.

Thanks in advance.

Works just fine here, so the key with which the package has been signed should be fine.

Perhaps try updating your keydb with "pacman-key --refresh-keys".

Maybe the download of the package gone bad. Try to force it by removing the file from pacman's cache (/var/cache/pacman/pkg)

That was it!!! the file was really corrupt. I deleted it and tried again and worked great.

Thank you!
