Installation of "kgeotag" AUR fails due to missing key

Support AUR

I tried to install “kgeotag” from AUR, but this fails as the PGP key is missing. I did read through many similar issues and (I think) I tried everything that I could think of, e.g. things like

sudo pacman-key --populate; sudo pacman-key --refresh
sudo pacman-key --recv-keys A53563BC888E6CE5215535992523842AF9681DDF
sudo gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key -v A53563BC888E6CE5215535992523842AF9681DDF

all with different key servers and so on.

I hope this is not too dumb of a question but I’m really stuck now after a few hours of reading and trying…

You always should post the origin error message. :wink:

No problems installing it on my PC (using pamac build kgeotag in a terminal):

First: Do NOT use sudo for Pamac. You will be asked to enter your password when required.

Second: The command is pamac build kgeotag, NOT pamac install kgeotag.

I finally got it - by standard I do have an adblocker enabled (kind of special pi-hole for the whole local network). It looks like some (or all) of the keyservers are being blocked (obviously by mistake; don’t ask me why).

Turning off the adblocker temporarily at least resolved the issue :grinning:
Many, many thanks for all your help !!!

You have to add keys with gpg directly. Pacman doesn’t build AUR packages.
