Outdated Key of Package Maintainer

Simaryp · 2021-08-23 18:46:14

I have some packages installed that are maintained by Brett Cornwall.

Apparently his key ran out beginning of the month and I get now a error message when updating.

I tried to sign the key locally with various variations for the id that i found when pacman-key --refresh-keys, via pacman-key --lsign-key.

I got feedback that the key was signed, but I still get the issue and updating fails.

What else can I do to get updates running again?

There was a bug on the tracker for this, but it's been fixed in the new archlinux-keyring. What version of archlinux-keyring do you have?

I have version 20210616-1

See https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any … x-keyring/

Is archlinux-keyring part of `pacman -Syu` that failed to installed? This is why https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 asks for the actual commands used and their outputs.
Edit:
If archlinux-keyring 20210820-1 is due to be installed by `pacman -Syu` then split the transaction into

pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
pacman -Su

So the pacman's keyring is updated first.

If archlinux-keyring is not due to be updated change to a mirror that is in sync then perform the above.

No, it is not failing due to archlinux-keyring. It's mostly packages related to sway.

Edit: Nevertheless, this actually worked.

He didn't ask if it was failing due to archlinux-keyring, but only whether archlinux-keyring was in the list of updateable packages. Frankly that's kinda' a moot point: it is. Your archlinux-keyring package is out of date and needs to be updated first.

(edit: the above was cross posted with your edit ... and may show why it worked).

Thanks a lot for the help.

I wonder why the solution from the wiki didn't work. But never mind.

Manually upgrade archlinux-keyring package first, i.e. pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring && pacman -Su with root privileges

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
