swaywm: Broken GPG signature

Please, pardon my pasta:

New versions of sway and wlroots have uknown signature keys.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73675

When I try to update my system, this gets blocked by swaywm and wlroots having unknown GPG keys.

I don't see any way this can be resolved here on the forum, how do I contact the maintainers if bugzilla is not the place?

Thank you.

I have already submitted this on bugzilla, but this got closed by Antonio Rojas, which does not even seem to be maintainer of this package.
Pardon me if I completely miss something, I am quite new to arch Linux and don't yet have experience with the development here.

Update archlinux-keyring first. Then update your system more often in the future.

Sweet, this package seemed to have been completely missing from my system. Thank you for your quick help.

Re: swaywm: Broken GPG signature

So which distro are you actually using then?

Please read the rules of this forum, they specify the distro you need to use in order to post here.

Re: swaywm: Broken GPG signature

And there is no way you were using arch linux if that package was not previously installed.

Re: swaywm: Broken GPG signature

I am sorry if there is any confusion on this thread:

This issue has been resolved by installing the missing package and I am fine to update now. Feel free to close this as answered as I don't seem to have such permission.

Re: swaywm: Broken GPG signature

You have only dealt with a symptom, namely that a critical system package was somehow absent from your system. Without posting your full pacman.log, who knows what other important packages are absent.

So you had it installed after all… hence the confusion on our side. No need for the hostility.

Re: swaywm: Broken GPG signature

Yes, sorry if I sounded hostile, being accused of confusing distro was also quite not alright.

For whatever reason even though I ran updates quite often, this issue has occured. I haven't paid close attention whether pacman was just reinstalling or installing, so I got a bit confused there as well.

Thank you for your help and have a great day or whatever time you got in your timezone.
