Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso
Mmh. Actually it seems that them pacman-init.service is not starting up because the keyring is missing. After a `pacman-key --init` it should start. The pacman-init.service has to have finished before you start archinstall. pacman-init can take a LONG (TM) time to update the keys.

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso
removing /etc/pacman.d/gnupg, pacman-key --init, pacman-key --populate archlinux32 should be enough..
For some annoying reason it wont let me
sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
rm: cannot remove '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg': Device or resource busyOffline

Seems to run into this issue
1 root@archiso ~ # pacman-key --init
gpg: /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: starting migration from earlier GnuPG versions
gpg: porting secret keys from '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/secring.gpg' to gpg-agent
gpg: migration succeeded
==> Generating pacman master key. This may take some time.
gpg: Generating pacman keyring master key...
gpg: agent_genkey failed: No such file or directory
gpg: key generation failed: No such file or directory
gpg: Done
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: no need for a trustdb checkOffline

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso
I tried archinstalll on the live cd and it worked properly this time and install it but the second time I went to try the live CD it's all broken again.. I did manage it get it working going through the stuff you guys talked about but it would be nice if these stuff were done properly and I didn't have to fight with it to work 
The images really need to be fixed as they are unusable and broken, I can even install packages at times.

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso
Yeah, we have a constant schedule of building ISOs monthly, sometimes keys expire before..
..speaking of which, the 2023.01 ISOs are due. :-)
Hmm I See, it sadly still seems to be an issue, updating archinstall on the live cd instant seems to be the only way to fix it tho it is annoying that you have to do that every time
