Can't update packages because signature from "..." is unknown trust

My arch setup ran into a kernel panic while updating the archlinux-keyring.

Now I can't reinstall the broken packages using --dbonly because all signatures gives unknown trust errors.

Output of 'pacman-key --refresh-keys' is https://0x0.st/Xc8v.txt
Output of 'pacman -S archlinux-keyring' is https://0x0.st/Xc8w.txt

The output printed on the tty is different than the one dumped onto 0x0.st for some reason. But just for clarity, its giving: error: archlinux-keyring: signature from "Christian Hesse <eworm@archlinux.org>" is unknown trust.

Then when it askes to delete the unknown package I say yes and then I get the error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or currupted package (PGP signature))

Do not just disable signatures!
In doubt install archlinux-keyring using "pacman --root /mnt" from the install iso (don't chroot, but the iso also has to be somewhat recent-ish)
