Can't use pacman to do an updtate

I can't use pacman to do an update on my system. It goes properly until it gets to checking package intergity, and then gives me an error stating that one of the signatures on the two files is corrupt.  Like this:

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 
(244/244) checking keys in keyring                     [############################] 100%
(244/244) checking package integrity                   [############################] 100%

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] 
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)

I assume it's on my machine, but I don't know how to correct it.  Could someone help me out?

Re: Can't use pacman to do an updtate

same problem with the same signature "Daniel Bermond <dbermond@archlinux.org>" but with another package.

I guess it's pgp key is not in a good state.

I tried to refresh everything regarding PGP keys and no dice, it keeps saying this key is untrusted.

Re: Can't use pacman to do an updtate

Hi all,

I’m experiencing the same issue.

signature from "Daniel Bermond <dbermond@archlinux.org>" is marginal trust

In my case, the affected packages are:

  • wine-mono-10.4.1-1-x86_64

  • libvpl-2.16.0-1-x86_64

Unfortunately, none of the usual solutions resolve the problem here either. To install the remaining packages successfully, I had to use the "--ignore" option with pamac from the command line.

Re: Can't use pacman to do an updtate

What is the output of pacman-key --list-sigs 'Daniel Bermond <dbermond@archlinux.org>'

Re: Can't use pacman to do an updtate

FIXED FOR ME

I wrote Daniel and he told me this "There is no problem with my signing key" and pointed me to the arch wiki for fixing package signing

So I did that and IT WORKED.

I deleted  the gnupgp
and repopulated the keys as noted here (as David suggested)  https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … l_the_keys

sudo rm -R  /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo  pacman-key --populate

and now IT WORKS

This is output of : 

pacman-key --list-sigs 'Daniel Bermond <dbermond@archlinux.org>'

before the fix

in my case : ("dudosa" means "suspicious" or "untrusted" in spanish and "desconocido" means "Unknown"

As you can see it changed so I guess the local repository was outdated somehow.

Re: Can't use pacman to do an updtate

You should™ have gotten there by merely updating archlinux-keyring first (I ran into this w/ a sparsely updated system and the keyring update had the required key updates)
