pacman-key problem

A new install from September CD iso. I went through install process but dumped at package install with unsigned or corrupted package error.

I burned another disc, same problem, restarted but installed Base only (I initially tried base & base-devel) to get a working box, and then updated this.

Rebooted and attempted to install base-devel, but still unsigned package error. 

Next I used pacman -Sc to remove uninstalled packages (in case a corrupt package was in cache) but the same result. I changed mirror, but this did not resolve problem.

Next step was deleting gnupg & rebuilding (pacman-key --init, etc) but still unsigned package/corrupt error when I tried to install base-devel.

I installed each package in group individually, and found the error came with cloog, followed further and found dependency isl-0.10.1-1 was unsigned/corrupt package. Looking through forums, news and don't see anything regarding this so (giving that this iso has been around a week or two) I assume the problem is at my end somewhere.

Installed links & downloaded package, installed with pacman -U (this suggests that the package was not corrupt) and then installed cloog, followed by rest of base-devel.

What I don't understand is isl, cloog, gcc all have the same maintainer and therefore (presumably) signed by the same person. Why should I get an unsigned error for just one of the maintainers' packages?

Re: pacman-key problem

Thanks for your thoughts, this was a fresh installation of the latest CD ISO. I downloaded/burned a second one with the same result.

Base-devel would not install as isl-0-10.1-1 was not securely signed (according to my installation).

I was able to download isl package and install, when 'pacman -S base-dev' worked, and system is now running fine. (just have to sort out this 'windows' printer now - thanks HP)
