There should be pub key that has to be imported. In general the keyserver could fail.
Here a different server: SKS Keyservers: Overview of the pools
you could do:
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys <key>
or permanent:
echo "keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net" > /home/$USER/.gnupg/gpg.conf
an then:
gpg --recv-keys <key>
Hey Thanks for fast reply)!
Worked like a Charm!! Thanks
This worked for me, but I don’t understand why. How can I find out the default keyserver used by gpg
? I suspect the domain/IP is blocked in my country.
Try the command:
locate gpg.conf
and you will see that there is no file except in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
by default. While pacman uses his own gpg.conf, pamac don’t use it when installing AUR packages but the gpg.conf in /home/$USER/.gnupg
. Official repo and AUR repo are used by the same application “pamac”, but these are 2 different sources. AUR packages are made by users and not official supported, so it is in that manner obvious that the AUR repo has a different gpg.conf as the official one has. And by default there is just no gpg.conf in the home folder.
Thanks for this.
