[SOLVED] Pacman-key --init

I am trying to collect some entropy over SSH following this guide however I need to install haveged but because of signatures I can't install it.  Any workarounds?

Turn off signature checking for that one installation. Either that or use a different method (run updatedb, wget a large file, etc.).

I tried doing that but it looks like the option to never check I put in before was being overridden by the repositories list.  I changed this to Never and it let me upgrade.

Thanks!
