hello all,
trying to update the gcc8 and gcc9 packages from aur via yay, I also tried manually with the same results:
:: PGP keys need importing:
-> D3A93CAD751C2AF4F8C7AD516C35B99309B5FA62, required by: gcc8 (gcc8-libs gcc8) gcc9 (gcc9-libs gcc9)
==> Import? [Y/n] y
:: Importing keys with gpg...
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name
problem importing keys
I then searched the keyserver with the gpg --search-keys command, and the search failed, no name.
I reinstalled archlinux-keyring, no help
I did pacman-key --refresh-keys, no help
am I missing something?
~nixit
solution: found a keyserver that contained the proper key

I will skip the whole AUR helper thing. In fact, due to things you have tried to do to remedy the situation, I would urge you to stop using any AUR helpers and first understand how things work and what is what — as told by the red box on the Arch Wiki. You are mixing up makepkg and pacman and your own keyring with pacman’s keyring, which indicates you failed to understand that subject. So please remove yay now and do things the normal way.
To obtain keys one uses either --recv-keys, to download from a keyserver, or --import, to import a key from a file you obtained by other means. That will modify your own keyring and that’s what makepkg uses. While importing a key be sure to verify the key is in fact the one you want. Otherwise the whole sig checking is just a security theater. A quick search gives a confirmation from the GNU project, but you may consider other sources.

@mpan,
thank you for replying...

[nixit@base ~]$ gpg --recv-keys D3A93CAD751C2AF4F8C7AD516C35B99309B5FA62
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name
so I would say it's not a problem with yay or any aur helper.
during my keyserver testing after I posted this, I was able to find 1 keyserver that had the key on it, all other ones kept failing with "no name".

I never said that was a problem with an AUR helper. I said that you using a helper, without knowing how to use AUR and what various things do in your system, is a problem.
keys.openpgp.org has that key.

can you write keyserver which had the proper key (address)?

It’s in the post just above your question?
