Unable to import any PGP keys

nearing_migration · 2025-12-20 18:24:16

I am currently attempting to use the AUR helper, yay, and it seems that something's wrong with gpg.

:: Import? [Y/n] 
:: Importing keys with gpg...
gpg: key D5A1D4F266DE8DDF: 3 duplicate signatures removed
gpg: Note: database_open 134217901 waiting for lock (held by 1567) ...

gpg: error reading '[stream]': SQL library used incorrectly

 -> problem importing keys

I had issues with my internet for a week and I couldn't update my system, but I had no problem with gpg prior to this. The aforementioned connection issues were not software related.

Also the output of `systemctl --user status keyboxd` please.

Strangely enough, I can fetch the keys now. I'll fetch the logs anyway.

The rest of the command was a completely normal yay transanction which is why I didn't include it. I was using yay -Syyuu to upgrade my AUR packages.

Seems like a server issue to me.

gentoo is not arch linux

Strangely enough, I can fetch the keys now.

waiting for lock (held by 1567)

Can you track what PID 1567 is/was? Otherwise, if you run into this again check what process (the PID will be different) holds the lock.

Edit: Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

@system72, I also suspect that yay doesn't support gentoo
