key updates?

thoth · 2015-08-10 16:37:09

I put a fresh install of Arch on this Acer C720, (writeprotect screw removed) at the first of July (2015), since then I have been plagued with key failures like this:

(5/5) checking package integrity                                           [##########################################] 100%
error: jsoncpp: signature from "Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/jsoncpp-1.6.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

This now sees to be a weekly occurrence, every time I update it seems more keys are broken.

I am constantly doing stuff like this:

rm -Rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman -S archlinux-keyring
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
pacman-key --refresh-keys

is there something wrong with my system? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there just that many key updates that have happened recently?

Not a Sysadmin issue, moving to NC...

Are you sure it's the signatures at fault, and not corruption? If not, check your disk's health (e.g. with smartctl), your system's memory (memcheck86+), and check all cables for damage and lose connections.

Also, check your system's time when you get these errors. Is it correct?

I have had to

 systemctl restart openntpd

quite a bit recently as well, I think it fails right at boot when there is no network connection. So that certainly might be the cause of my problems. After removing the gnupg folder and rebuilding the keys I've been good so far.

bizarre, I had it happen again tonight, same fix, and hard drive reports no errors.

And the date/time?

Ok, funny enough I had all that working with wicd, without issue. But wicd went belly up on me, and I tried out connman. And of course the above instructions do not mention connman, looking around apparently connman supports ntp natively:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/conn … /src/ntp.c

but I'm not seeing any documentation of this feature. It kind of sounds like it's supposed to just work, in which case it might be broken? I'll look into this further, perhaps I should make a new thread for connman and ntp issues

I'm disabling openntpd for now and am going to see what happens, perhaps they were conflicting somehow?

After looking at the above C code a bit more, I think it is perhaps because I was using openntpd and not ntp

pacman -S ntp

and we'll let this play out a bit more
