invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature) / gpg binary missing

Hello folks!

Recently I failed to complete a pacman upgrade (Syu). It was running while some weird flash monster website froze the system.

When I try an upgrade of my system now, I get consistent aborts:

(1/X) checking package integrity
error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine
error: gnupg: missing required signature
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/XXXXXXXXX.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] n
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Tried some random things after using the Google, no success:

sudo pacman-key --init
==> ERROR: Cannot find the gpg binary required for all pacman-key operations.
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
==> ERROR: Cannot find the gpg binary required for all pacman-key operations.

If I disable SigLevel in /etc/pacman.conf:

#SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
SigLevel = Never

I get the upgrade done with sudo pacman --Syu.

How can I get PGP verification back?

Thanks in advance!

Hey!
Thanks for the quick reply and link!

If you meant to try this (as I was reporting an unsuccessful upgrade in the first place):

 find /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ -iname "*.part" -exec rm {} \;

Did not help.

I tried the pacman -Scc switch as well. No result.

Thanks again!

Re: invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature) / gpg binary missing

Hey,
when I try to remove the gpgme and gnupg packages I get stuck at

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gpgmepp: requires gpgme
:: kdepimlibs4: requires gpgme
:: pacman: requires gpgme

Shall I reinstall all the dependencies as well?
