Hi,

You have provided very little information so I don’t know what the exact error is. Have you tried refreshing the database?

pamac update --force-refresh

How did you install sublime-text?

If it’s directly from the developer they have instruction on importing the key:

curl -O https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg && sudo pacman-key --add sublimehq-pub.gpg && sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 8A8F901A && rm sublimehq-pub.gpg

See Linux Package Manager Repositories – Sublime Text Documentation

I don’t remember how I installed it but the problem started when I deleted it.Cause i didn’t use it

Sublime pgp-key has changed a while before. So you have to renew it in the way like @NGr has tell. :wink:

gpg: no need for a trustdb check
==> ERROR: There is no secret key available to sign with.

Tried pacman- key --init

You could try deleting the specific key. I haven’t has this problem before so can’t say if it will work.

sudo pacman-key -d F57D4F59BD3DF454

13

==> ERROR: The key identified by F57D4F59BD3DF454 could not be found locally

It looks like the commands from ishaan removed the key. Have you tried refreshing the database since?

EDIT: If there is still errors, try following the new instructions under ’ Errors about Keys’ here: Pacman troubleshooting - Manjaro

15

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
gpg: refreshing 148 keys from hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
