Any help would be appreciated, i tried fixing this yesterday but i got some sort of block errors, but a block scan showed everything being fine, also sometimes it asks me to import pgp keys too, probably deleted them while trying to fix this mess yesterday, but after i import them t says its unknown trust and a package is corrupted

P.S: Probably unrelated but i noticed this after i added permissions for my user to write, read,execute for /dev/input/event3 (i needed it for a coding project, that is my keyboard, its still working fine)

Re: [SOLVED] Invalid or corrupted package (pgp signature)

You have 2 different errors there. The unknown trust errors could be from you screwing up the keyring, reinstall the archlinux-keyring package.

The invalid error points to the package actually being corrupt. You deleted it, so if redownloading it doesn't work, try a different mirror.

If i try to reinstall archlinux-keyring i get a message that the package is corrupted, if i edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist it doesnt fix anything

So you completely destroyed your keyring. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … l_the_keys

Thanks Scimmia, worked for me.

Re: [SOLVED] Invalid or corrupted package (pgp signature)

I had to also run `sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys` after the `--populate` step in the wiki (see above link that solved OP's issue). Not sure what the difference is and why the wiki doesn't have it. Anybody know? Should the wiki be updated?
