I can't update packages after upgrading pacman to 4.0.3

I know this was already treated broadly about two months ago, but I can't update after upgrading pacman because of continuous problems with certain signatures (at least one).

I have already tried this:

rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman -Scc
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux

But I still get this error when trying to upgrade the system:

error: virtuoso: signature from "Andrea Scarpino (Arch Linux) <andrea@archlinux.org>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Could anybody help me? I'm pretty devastated with this.

Thanks!

My /etc/pacman.conf

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/

#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log

# Misc options

#VerbosePkgLists

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
#SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

Try a different mirror.

Try a different mirror.

Try the different mirror and force the download of the new package database: pacman -Syy

Also check if your system time is correct.

Re: I can't update packages after upgrading pacman to 4.0.3

Thanks everyone! I guess it was a faulty mirror.

I also had problems upgrading glibc because /lib had to be linked to /usr/lib, but I fixed it seeking for helpful tips on the forum. What I did was move everything from /lib to /usr/lib, shutdown, start adding break=postmount to kernel line, mount the filesystem, remove /lib folder, link /usr/lib to /lib and reboot. Then I reinstalled glibc and everything went well.

Now some fonts look half-cutted in Gnome Shell when the window or panel which contains them is in background and I don't know why. But it is not the first time I have "graphical artifacts" with Arch Linux on this laptop. I think has something to do with the compositing.
