Ncurses5-compat-lib build aborting during gpg check

[underwater]

When trying to pacman build ncurses5-compat-libs I get the following error message, which seems to be related to gpg but likely isn’t?

For context, I’m actually trying to get darktable to run with opencl on my amd gpu using the proprietary amd driver as the open source driver doesn’t provide “Image support”. In this context the opencl-amd AUR package requires ncurses5-compat-libs which I’m unable to build due to the error above. Please do let me know if I’m going down the wrong rabbit hole.

Have you imported the PGP key?

AUR package fails to verify PGP/GPG key: “unknown public key”, “One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!”

Summary If you get llvm-5.0.1.src.tar.xz … FAILED (unknown public key 8F0871F202119294) then gpg --recv-key 8F0871F202119294 and try again. Enter the key ID as appropriate. Detail Many AUR packages contain lines to enable validating downloaded packages though the use of a PGP key. This establishes a level of trust between the software author and anyone who downloads the software - if you trust the key, and the download validates against the key, then you can trust the download. Pacman ha…

Yes, I’ve imported the PGP key. The error doesn’t seem to be about the key not being accepted, it’s throwing
ncurses-6.2.tar.gz ... cat: write error: Broken pipe.

When trying to pacman build ncurses5-compat-libs

You mean pamac,

likely this is the same bug that happen also with cuda pkgbuilds, use makepkg or pamac-manager from gui or any other AUR helper

Yeah, I mistyped … pamac … pacman … they have a small hamming distance
Thanks for the explanation. I’ll try your suggestion tomorrow.
