[SOLVED] private repo - signature is invalid

I normally add packages to my repo like this:

# cd /"$pkgsroot"/"$reponame"/"$package"/
# aur build --chroot --sign --database="$reponame" --directory=/$chrootpath

The signatures on the packages and the repo database are valid. I have not had any errors.

Today is the first day I had to remove a package. I did it like this:

# repo-remove /"$reporoot/$reponame/$reponame.db.tar.gz" "$oldpkg"
# rm /"$reporoot/$reponame/$oldpkg"-r10*

However, after doing that I started getting these errors:

error: myaur: signature from "MountainX" is invalid

I'd like to know why. Did I remove the package incorrectly? Also, is there a fix or do I need to delete the repo database and recreate it with repo-add?

EDIT: Oh, I see that I removed a package and did not re-sign the db. What is the correct process?

Re: [SOLVED] private repo - signature is invalid

Since you signed the database, you'll have to also sign it when removing a package.

Just do an empty repo-add with the signature to fix it I think.

Re: [SOLVED] private repo - signature is invalid

"aur build --sign --database=..." invokes "repo-add --sign" for you. So "repo-remove" must also use the --sign option.

Thank you. I should have realized that, but I didn't think about it when I removed the package. Issue solved.
