Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

I am trying to install linux-pf. So I've followed the instructions on how to add the repository from Arch Linux Unofficial user repositories webpage. To /etc/pacman.conf I appended the lines:

[Linux-pf]
Server = https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/172590784/Linux-pf/x86_64/
SigLevel = Optional

Then when I try to do "pacman -Sy" I get the error message

error: Linux-pf: key "F6C85FEE79D661A4" is unknown
error: key "F6C85FEE79D661A4" could not be looked up remotely

but importing this key, which in other cases solves the issue, yields

sudo pacman-key -r F6C85FEE79D661A4
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.

I assume my pacman keyring is working fine. I am able to fetch Linus Torvalds key.

sudo pacman-key -r 00411886
gpg: key 00411886: "Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2016-01-22

Am I missing something here all too obvious? It also bugs me to see my google searches yielding 0 results whenever the F6C85FEE79D661A4 string is given.

Thank you.

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

Happened to me when I was trying to install the infinality bundle.  You have to use a different keyserver now since you tried to sync before importing the key.  I think it's a bug?

Try this command:

 sudo pacman-key -r F6C85FEE79D661A4 --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

Not working. I still get:

sudo pacman-key -r F6C85FEE79D661A4 --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

Well to at least help you in where to look, this issue I doubt is specific to that key or package.

Try searching for just the "Remote key not fetched correctly" error instead and see if you find any problems similar to yours.

This was the first thread I found on google that helped me.

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

It's of a more localized nature, I guess. I've looked at these before posting this. I think it bottoms to the fact that the F6C85FEE79D661A4 key is not in any of those servers tried, though nobody ever seems to mention this. Hence, my suspicion that I'm doing something wrong, though not sure what.

Thanks for helping.

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

Did you try this procedure: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1501589

and this:

pacman-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys <key>

and then:

pacman-key --lsign-key <key>

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

pacman-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F6C85FEE79D661A4
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.

The contents of gpg.conf in /etc/pacman.d/ are

no-greeting
no-permission-warning
lock-never
keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
keyserver-options timeout=10

I guess signing the key requires receiving it beforehand.

Tambalamba, are you able to import this key? Thanks.

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

No, actually I've never tried this one.

EDIT: I don't see that you appended

index.html

after the server url.

Don't do that, it will break your system.

I think the Server line should be

See  Note

EDIT: On second thought, they say it's "to browse through the repository."

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

Thanks for the note on how to not break my system.

Regarding the index.html thing, appending it in the pacman.conf to the repo URL doesn't really cut it. I still get the key issue.

sudo pacman -Syu
error: Linux-pf: key "F6C85FEE79D661A4" is unknown
error: key "F6C85FEE79D661A4" could not be looked up remotely

Question is, can you replicate my problem? Can you please try and add that key to your pacman keyring and see if it works?

Would appreciate most. Thanks.

Try a different repo that provides linux-pf: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux-pf

Got the same result. You should try what Karol suggests.

Re: Linux-pf key "F6C85FEE79D661A4"

Ultimately I am able to compile my own linux-pf and linux-pf-headers from the AUR.

However, I'd prefer to just install a pre-compiled package for my cpu version and that would be the end of it.

Thanks for your kind help.
