[SOLVED] Having trouble installing both Steam and Desura

I've been trying to install these but both are apparently having the same issue, maybe it's a KDE problem (I'm using a KDE setup) or something?

I get a message like for libpng12 which is needed for Desura:

File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libpng12-1.2.50-4-i686.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

For Steam I get this:

File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/steam-1.0.0.45-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

Then it asks if I want to delete it, and either choice prevents me from actually installing.

EDIT: I ran these two commands and tried installing steam again and had no issues.

pacman-key --populate archlinux

then...

pacman-key --refresh-keys

Re: [SOLVED] Having trouble installing both Steam and Desura

I think it's a signature/keys issue, I deleted the gnupg key directory and refreshed the keys and synced and updated. Then when trying to install steam I had to import PGP keys, and the signatures are of "unknown trust." Then I still get a corrupted package message afterwards. I'm thinking I will just disable signature signing and then trying to install, then reenable signature signing afterwards... I'm a little wary of this because of possible security issues.

EDIT: installs and making the package for Desura run fine with signature checking disabled but I wonder if there is some kind of security exploit thing going on with them?

from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman-key

Warning: Pacman-key depends on time. If your system clock is wrong, you'll get:

error: PackageName: signature from "User <email@archlinux.org>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.

is your sytem clock correct ?

It seems so, I do not have hwclock in use but I am using Ntpd, maybe I need to set hwclock up?
