[SOLVED] pacman does not download .sig file, complains

I run my own repository. Among others, it contains the following two files:

libpng-1.6.28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
libpng-1.6.28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.sig

On my client, I attempt to install but it fails:

sudo pacman -S libpng
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) libpng-1.6.28-1

Total Installed Size:  0.54 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:      0.00 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

error: libpng: missing required signature
error: failed to commit transaction (package missing required signature)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

In my web server log, I see a request for the tar file, but not for the .sig file:

1.2.3.4 host - [15/Jan/2017:04:21:54 +0000] "GET /.../libpng-1.6.28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz HTTP/1.1" 200 220136

pacman.conf has:

SigLevel           = Required TrustedOnly
LocalFileSigLevel  = Optional
RemoteFileSigLevel = Required TrustedOnly

What might be going on here? Is there some cache other than /var/cache/pacman, which I have emptied?

Re: [SOLVED] pacman does not download .sig file, complains

When you add the package to the Pacman repository database with repo-add, it stores the signature in the database entry. Pacman will not download signature files for each package which is why you are not seeing requests for package signatures (it will of course download database signatures).

How are you creating your repo database?
