[SOLVED] The [haskell-core] repo key goes wrong?

Hi,

On a recent attempt to update my repo db, I got the following errors

[root@dreams ~]# pacman -Sy
error: haskell-core: key "90513750A418C0FE" is unknown
:: Import PGP key 2048D/4209170B, "ArchHaskell (Magnus Therning) <magnus@therning.org>", created: 2012-12-26? [Y/n] Y
error: haskell-core: signature from "ArchHaskell (Magnus Therning) <magnus@therning.org>" is unknown trust
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 haskell-core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
error: database 'haskell-core' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

And I could not upgrade my system.  Any idea?

Please don't selectively edit pacman's output; it makes it much harder for people to understand what is the issue.

Use -Syyu.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried those flags.  The problem remained.  Below is the output of pacman:

[root@dreams ~]# pacman -Syyu

No idea what to do.  I could not simply remove the haskell-core repo in my pacman.conf.  Since most of the haskell packages installed from the haskell-core repo are ahead of those in the official repo.

Re: [SOLVED] The [haskell-core] repo key goes wrong?

Magnus Therning is not officially associated with Arch Linux so his PGP key is neither included in the official keyring package nor signed with the Arch Linux master keys. You must import his public key yourself with pacman-key and then optionally sign it yourself to mark it as trusted.

Rather than give you a set of steps to blindly follow, I suggest that you read up on pacman-key and PGP keys in general to ensure that you understand the security involved.

You should verify the key before importing it by checking the signature against multiple sources if possible. To help, here is the signature of the key that I have imported. Compare it to the one on the arch-haskell mailing list and the MIT PGP key server, for example.

pub   2048D/4209170B 2012-12-26
uid                  ArchHaskell (Magnus Therning) <magnus@therning.org>
sig          AB4DFBA4 2013-01-08  [User ID not found]
sig 3        4209170B 2012-12-26  ArchHaskell (Magnus Therning) <magnus@therning.org>
sub   2048D/A418C0FE 2012-12-26
sig          4209170B 2012-12-26  ArchHaskell (Magnus Therning) <magnus@therning.org>
