# edit below regarding pacman-key @ 19:44

I'm attempting to install vanilla Arch for the first time.

Here is the output (transcribed, not pasted)

error: util-linux: signature from "Dave Reisner <d@falconindy.com>" is invalid
:: File /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/util-linux-2.24-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

This is repeated for the following packages:

xz
systemd
device-mapper
popt
cryptsetup
dhcpcd
diffutils
e2fsprogs
file

I followed the instructions outlined on the pacman wiki page but that didn't work.

I also edited my /etc/pacman.conf and enabled (un-commented) SigLevel = Optional TrustAll.

########
I rebooted the medium, ran pacman-key --init and pacman-key --populate archlinux successfully. However, I am still met with the error of 'signature is invalid'

#Also, I tried to use

pacman-key --populate archlinux

but was met with the following:
#

==> Appending keys from archlinux.gpg...
==> Locally signing trusted keys in keyring...
    -> Locally signing key {key1}...
==> ERROR: {key1} could not be locally signed.
    -> Locally signing key {key2}...
==> ERROR: {key2} could not be locally signed.
    -> Locally signing key {key3}...
==> ERROR: {key3} could not be locally signed.
    -> Locally signing key {key4}...
==> ERROR: {key4} could not be locally signed.
    -> Locally signing key {key5}...
==> ERROR: {key5} could not be locally signed.

This is the extent of my knowledge of what to do in this event. If anyone could offer some help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Can you make sure your date/time settings are correct?

@Pierre

I used timedatectl set-time to set the time and date, then hwclock -w and tried it again with no avail.

Update:

Rebooted, ran pacman-key --init, pacman-key --populate archlinux and then pacman-key --init once more.

Ran pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel and everything worked just fine. Marking this as solved.
