So, I'm trying to do a clean install of Arch Linux. I've chrooted into the system and tried to download wireless_tools, netcfg, and dialog to set up my wireless connection but ran into two issues. First, sometimes I would get a message that says something like:
error: failed retrieving file 'wireless_tools-29-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mirror.us.leaseweb.net : Operation too slow. Less than 1024 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds
From what I gathered then it should try the next mirror in my mirrorlist until it finds one with a decent speed. However, then it checks the package integrity and I get more error messages. For each package there's a message like:
error: wireless_tools: signature from "Gaetan Bisson <gaetan.@normalesup.org>" is invalid
and then:
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Any ideas on what's causing this/how to fix it?

# pacman -Syy
Use this whenever a mirror is changed. This is considered to be good practice and will avoid possible headaches.
I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Ok, I cleared my pacman cache, reset all my keys, changed my mirror and ran pacman -Syy and ran into the same errors when trying to sync the databases..

Can you ping Google?

Yeah, pinging Google works fine.

What is the output of the "date" command?

Looks like the correct date to me.

Ok, that was a sanity check. If your system time is "enough" incorrect then pacman signatures will fail. Checked, carry on!

It's probably worth mentioning that pacstrap worked fine, and since then I've generated an fstab, chrooted into the system, configured the locale, the clock and set the hostname, so I think the issue lies somewhere between running pacstrap and now.

Did you set the hostname in both files:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … e#Hostname
/etc/hostname
Needs to just contain one line, the hostname.
/etc/hosts
You need to edit two of the lines to the exact same text string you put in /etc/hostname
My /etc/hostname:
Jeremiah
My /etc/hosts:
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 Jeremiah localhost
::1 Jeremiah localhost
# End of file
If those three different text entries do not exactly match then you will have network troubles.

Yes, both files are configured correctly.
Also, I forgot to post this earlier, but there's also an error that says:
GPGME error: No data

Ah, turns out the problem was my network's content filter. I was able to circumvent it by switching my mirrors to FTP.

Please edit your first post and add "[Solved]" somewhere in its title. That lets helpers know they can skip it and also people searching with, say Google, will see it in their results.
