My Arch Linux
is not updated for nearly 3
months. When running pacman -Syu
, it prompts following errors:
$ sudo pacman -Syu

The solution is updating archlinux-keyring
first:
$ sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring
Then all goes well!
Wow…!!! Thanks mate…!!!
I’ve same error : “unknown trust”.
And I updated the keyring and all is well.
Very appreciate it.
Regards.

Yo same.
hero. thanks. 🙂
I always have to search when to repopulate the keys when I get an error and there are many methods like removing the database and they not always work. This is the simplest and fastest, many thanks.
Thanks a lot. You really saved my day.
Gracias
thanks. pacman should be a bit smarter and not just completely panic because of a pair of packages signed with a new key but oh well i guess being an arch user is about masochism
Thank you!!!
It doesn’t always work but there is another work around.
You should also try:
pacman-key -u
pacman-key –populate
and then thank me later [>~0]/
thank u <3
Thanks for the tip, worked perfectly.
Cheers
