[Solved] Unknown public key for Python2

Hi,

(Solution)

gpg --search-keys <key id from validpgpkeys section>
Now i see the error message cut off part of the key id, hence i could not find it. So the solution is to look in the PKGBUILD / validpgpkeys section and use that id to resolve the key.

i am on arch x86_64 and did install other AUR packages successfully before.
I am currently trying to install seamonkey, which pulls the dependency Python-2.7.18 with the -s option.
I already did the following:

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
gpg --refresh-keys

,which all ran without fatal errors, timeouts and no data errors on the pacman-key but it did say unchanged for some, so i guess it can get data? Can post the log if someone can tell me how, "sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys > ../../temp/pac.log" does not capture the errors.

Error is:

==> Erstelle Paket: seamonkey 2.53.15-1 (Mo 29 Mai 2023 13:50:16 CEST)
==> Prüfe Laufzeit-Abhängigkeiten...
==> Prüfe Buildtime-Abhängigkeiten...
==> Empfange Quellen...
  -> seamonkey-2.53.15.source.tar.xz gefunden

  -> Python-2.7.18.tar.xz.asc gefunden
==> Überprüfe source Dateien mit sha256sums...

    Python-2.7.18.tar.xz ... FEHLGESCHLAGEN (Unbekannter öffentlicher Schlüssel 04C367C218ADD4FF)
==> FEHLER: Eine oder mehrere PGP-Signaturen konnten nicht überprüft werden!

Please excuse the german, the error translates to "[...] Unknown public signature 04C367C218ADD4FF \n ERROR: One or more PGP-signatures could not be verified!"

So, should i focus on the errors from pacman-key or do something else? How can i view the key 04C367C218ADD4FF? "gpg --list-key 04C367C218ADD4FF" says it is not a public key.

As for the pacman-key errors, they're completely unrelated, but you should still fix whatever problem is there.  Your attempt to redirect the errors to the log failed as you only redirected stdout, not stderr:

Re: [Solved] Unknown public key for Python2

Thank you all, this solved my problem. 

Specifically:
gpg --search-keys <key id from validpgpkeys section>
Now i see the error message cut off part of the key id, hence i could not find it. So the solution is to look in the PKGBUILD / validpgpkeys section and use that id to resolve the key.

And sorry for misplacing the post, now i know there is an AUR section.
