Looking for suggestions on how to fix my PGP key problems. It has been a few years since I turned on my old Arch Linux machine. I plugged it into the internet and tried to update and of course that's not easy any more. No package can be updated because there is always a problem with the keyring. I made sure my hardware clock matched the system clock, and then I tried as su to clear the cache and reinitialize the keys > rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*> rm /etc/pacman.d/gnupg>paccache -r> pacman-key --init>pacman-key --populateTrying then to update gnupg only gives picrel>pacman -S gnupgSo in the pic it is now complaining about the new keys it just downloaded into /var/cache... Being corrupt and thus can't update. How can the new keys be corrupt?Thanks for any help you can give.
>>1506783Maybe>pacman-key --refresh
At some point in the last few years, Arch switched to zstandard packages. I dunno if it's a thing that happens, but perhaps you're so out of date that your system can't use the newer packages.
>>1506787Well I will keep that in mind as a possibility. In that case I will be looking for a way to upgrade without losing my data. I can always delete a whole bunch of packages to make the upgrading process easier but either way I will need to upgrade gnupg at some point so that is the first thing to tackle.
>>1506789Back up your personal data and reinstall from a fresh ISO, it's not complicated.
