PGP key problem when updating ystetm

I changed the Arch Linux mirrorlist to the Archlinux32 mirros (as I am on a 32 bit system). After that when I run "pacman -Syyu" to update the system, I got a lot of error messages. At first:

Import PGP key 4096R/7C98C4C3DE926168DC46FBAA3D06644243BF68D3, "Erich Eckner (just to sign arch packages) <arch@eckner.net>", created: 2016-04-13? [I/n]

And then:

/var/cache/pacman/pkg/iana-etc-20170824-1-any.pkg.tar.xz file is corrupted (PGP signature).

And the latest for every packages. Then every downloaded package are deleted  from the cache.

What can I do to run the update?

Did you install the archlinux32-keyring-transition package? You may need to clear your pacman cache if you did.

Re: PGP key problem when updating ystetm

Hey there,
I am new to the forum and quite new to Arch in general
When I was doing a fresh install on some older hardware (which requires the 32 bit version), I stumbled upon the same error anselm described.
Erich Eckner [...] is unknown trust.
I followed your advise and cleared the whole /etc/pacman.d/gnupg directory. After recreating the key (pacman-key --init), I tried to update via

pacman -Syy archlinux32-keyring-transition

This yields a different error, quite similar to the first one:

error: archlinux32-keyring-transition: signature from "Bartlomiej Piotrowski <b@piotrowski.pl>" is unknown trust

By the way, my mirrorlist is updated following the advise from https://archlinux32.org/download.
Do you have some more advise on this?
Or is this a problem for a bug report?
Best wishes and looking forward to some feedback!

Re: PGP key problem when updating ystetm

Hi,
your problem is most probably, that you missed a

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate

This is needed to set up the keyring (for archlinux x86_64, too)

best regards,

Re: PGP key problem when updating ystetm

I still have this problem. When I install packages, I nearly always have to import that key:

Import PGP key 4096R/7C98C4C3DE926168DC46FBAA3D06644243BF68D3, "Erich Eckner (just to sign arch packages) <arch@eckner.net>", created: 2016-04-13? [I/n]

When I press "Y" key isn't imported for some reason. So I always have to run these commands:

sudo gpg --recv-keys 5FDCA472AB93292BC678FD59255A76DB9A12601A
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 5FDCA472AB93292BC678FD59255A76DB9A12601A

Then I am able to install packages again, but after a few days (restarts?) I have to run those command again.

Re: PGP key problem when updating ystetm

i dont know how to correct the problem, i had same signature package for pacman package, if you have the package on local, you can upgrade without signature control with option -U (pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/namepackage.xz to download it im not sure but if you try pacman -Sw namepackage maybe it helps, But, it is a package corrupted or damaged, i suggest to find a proper solution.

acman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
pacman-key --populate archlinux32

I dont know if can help there are many post about this problem.
