Can't install libproxy

Hello, I just tried to install libproxy, but it failed:

$ sudo pacman -S libproxy
Password: 
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): libproxy-0.4.7-2

Total Installed Size:   0.27 MiB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 
(1/1) checking package integrity                                             [###########################################] 100%
error: libproxy: signature from "Evangelos Foutras <evangelos@foutrelis.com>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Furthermore, the page of the package (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libproxy/) is blocked by the internet filter. So I think I can't install libproxy because of the internet filter. Is this possible, and how can I solve it (I can't disable the filter)?

Re: Can't install libproxy

Are you having the issue only with that specific package/signature (aka can you install other packages and/or update your system)? If so, try "pacman-key --refresh-keys" to refresh your keydb.

If you have it with every single operation, do a quick search on the forum.

I tried "pacman-key --refresh-keys", but that doesn't solve the problem. I tried another package signed by Evangelos (cloc), and that went smoothly.

proxytunnel can't be installed, too. I really think now it is the internet filter blocking every url with 'proxy' in it.

Re: Can't install libproxy

If you're indeed being denied by a filter (for example a proxy that categorizes these http/ftp downloads as denied), then there's not all that much you can do besides either asking your resident sysadmin/security engineer to allow it and/or installing the package through a connection that doesn't have these restrictions.

Yes, I think that's the only solution. Thanks for your help!
