Packer install error pgp signature

I was running AppSet-Qt and in Aur part it said to enable package support you have to install packer.  I tried to install packer with pacman -S but I keep getting errors

packer-20140817-1-any      9.5 KiB   175K/s 00:00 [#####################] 100%
(3/3) checking keys in keyring                     [#####################] 100%

error: packer: missing required signature
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/packer-20140817-1-any.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I tried pacman -Sw and still the same.  I also get the same with yaourt packer.

Packer isn't in the official repositories, no AUR helpers are...

Re: Packer install error pgp signature

I am a little concerned that pacman downloaded a binary package for packer. Have you added any repositories to pacman.conf? If so, please list them here.
