Can't install manjaro keyring

[pato]

I also have the problem with jonas-strassel key and tried following the steps from this thread post:

Error in keyring - Jonas Strassel signature (July 2023 edition)

You are right, I had made a mistake before. I went through the steps again and this time everything worked. I can finally grab those 355 packages that are waiting Thank you @Teo ! These are the exact steps I took just now: rm manjaro-keyring* archlinux-keyring* curl -O https://mirror.easyname.at/manjaro/pool/overlay/manjaro-keyring-20230616-3-any.pkg.tar.xz curl -O https://mirror.easyname.at/manjaro/pool/sync/archlinux-keyring-20230704-1-any.pkg.tar.zst ls sudo rm -r…

which are the same as described here in the wiki:

But when I do this I get following error:

$ sudo pacman -U manjaro-keyring-20230719-2-any.pkg.tar.xz archlinux-keyring-20230704-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

You have a 3rd party repository enabled which also check for a Database signature of A44C644D792767CED7941AFEABB2075D5F310CF8. since this signature is not valid you’re stuck - kinda. You may do this:

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys A44C644D792767CED7941AFEABB2075D5F310CF8

Thanks! Unfortunately this didn’t help:

This fixed it for me:

sudo rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg 
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
sudo pacman -Syu

the populate part seemed to be inportant, it disabled a certain number of keys.

edit:
pamac still doesn’t work. How do I tell pamac the same information that pacman has now?

edit again:
after running sudo pamac update - even without finishing the update that way - pamac gui also got everything it needs to run without issues!

@pato

sudo pamac update

sudo should not be used with pamac.
(and based on user posts … I’m pretty sure it breaks permissions on the cache … breaking pamac)
