Re: Repo Core not valid

I don't speak Spanish, but you could try:

pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux

Re: Repo Core not valid

Try a different mirror, if it doesn't work, post your pacman.conf and your mirrorlist.

Re: Repo Core not valid

pacman -Scc
pacman -Syyu

Since -Scc removes all packages from the cache, wouldn't removing /var/lib/pacman/sync be a better option?

Re: Repo Core not valid

You should be able / have been able to identify what file exactly was causing problems. Maybe there was a stray .sig file there?

Re: Repo Core not valid

All wrong...   we do not sign our repos so the repo db can not be verified by gpg.  Revert the change you made in pacman.conf.
