pacman auto key import

jernst · 2014-04-11 23:18:46

Is there some flag to pacman by which pacman will automatically import new gpg keys that are needed?
Or a way to determine, prior to running pacman upgrade, that new keys need to be imported, and do that as a separate command?
I'd like to script something and my script just bailed out on me with any unexpected "downloading required keys...
:: Import PGP key ... [Y/n] Y"

Maybe use pacman-key first?

Is that what you mean?
# pacman-key --refresh-keys
(never have used pacman-key directly)

Pretty sure that is the one. It has been a while since I hvae needed it though, so I don't recall if there is a confirmation dialog or not. Typically the archlinux-keyring package will have everything you need. There has been exceptions of course, but for the most part it works just fine as is.

You can configure /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf to automatically download the keys.

I'd just run

# pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
# pacman -Su

and everything will be fine.
