Have you enabled package and database signing in your pacman.conf ?
Have you initialized your keys ? http://www.archlinux.org/news/having-pa … -packages/

Re: [SOLVED] pacman -Syu not working !!!

Well, your error message seems to be related to signatures so I sugggest you read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman-key and the information that is mentionned in the link I provided in my previous post. There should be enough info for you to see if you have (or not) initialized pacman properly for package/database signing.

Database signing is not implemented yet unless I missed something. So if you have "Required" in your Siglevel line, you should also have "DatabaseOptional". Otherwise it will check for signatures on the databases.

Actually this problem might occur if the databases were corrupt. For example, if you tried to sync the databases without an internet connection, then the databases get corrupt, and show this error.

This can be solved by forcing database refresh..
