Unable to install pipewire-pulse: error: failed to commit transaction

Hi fellas! I'm trying to install the pipewire-pulse package, but it fails every time with:

error: pipewire-pulse: signature from "Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <heftig@archlinux.org>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pipewire-pulse-1:0.3.32-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys seems to be working just fine:

gpg: key 19802F8B0D70FC30: "Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <heftig@archlinux.org>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1

No luck. Just updated to these servers.

I also cleaned the cache and deleted /etc/pacman.d/gpupg/ before trying to install it.

Not an issue with the package.  heftig@archlinux.org needs to have at least marginal trust.
What is the output of

pacman-key --list-keys master

Re: Unable to install pipewire-pulse: error: failed to commit transaction

You are missing all the master keys that should be signed by the 'Pacman Keyring Master Key'.

Do you know how this could have happened and if there is an easy fix?

I can not think of a way it could have happened.  If the master keys were never present then no package would have been allowed to be installed.  So at some point they were removed from the keyring or the keyring was recreated without them.
Package_signing#Verifying_the_master_keys is probably the easiest fix.

It worked! Thank you!
