[SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

During the usual

# pacman -Syu

the operation couldn't complete.

"vmaf" resulted "corrupted or unable to verify PGP".

I tried removing it and reinstalling "vmaf" but it didn't work either because the dependency is required from ffmpeg.

What can I try here?

Thanks in advance for the support.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

Ok, I looked for the .part file but couldn't find any.

The only vmaf- files in that directory are:

$ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg
vmaf-1.5.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
vmaf-1.5.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig

Should I just delete them and reinstall the package?
How important is the dependency for ffmpeg?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

You can try to delete the package from the cache, but if you're conducting partial/late updates and the problem is a missing key in your keyring, that's not gonna help you.
=> post the actual and complete pacman output.

vmaf is linked by avfilter - it's a pretty important dependency.

Edit: I should not rephrase sentences mid-through…

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

Well archlinux-keyring isn't in the update list. When did you install this system? If it was recently, what ISO did you use?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

Scimmia noticed that archlinux-keyring is indeed not in the list.

By hiding that pacman complained about signature you just made it harder to provide help.

It seems the system is outdated, which should not be the case. To resolve that first upgrade archlinux-keyring and then the rest of the system. If that fails, and only if that fails, reset the keyring.

When did you install this system? If it was recently, what ISO did you use?

I installed my system using the 2022.01 release and following the official installation instructions from the wiki.

After system installation I installed the following packages

 xfce4 xfce4-goodies xdg-user-dirs lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter

and after that I've been using the system efficiently for the last couple of weeks until now.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

OK, so you used the January ISO, but *when* did you install the system. If it was after the last keyring package release, you probably hit the bug where the actual keyring doesn't get updated and you end up with the one from the ISO.

When people ask questions, it's for a reason. I asked 2 things, you answered 1.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

Right, I'm sorry.

I used the January ISO but installed the system literally two weeks ago.

Is that where the problem is? Any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu failed

"pacman-key --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --refresh-keys" will likely do - in doubt, re-install archlinux-keyring
