Manjaro is unable to update (GPGME & keyring errors)

Support

All is solved now (yours in the solution actually). I was just coming here to document the solution. After running the following commands:

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
sudo pacman -Sc

which was listed in the pacman troubleshooting Wiki that @kisun posted earlier (similar to the ones you suggested).

  1. I updated all the file systems (not the applications)
  2. Restarted the PC
  3. Updated the kernel and installed an LTS version (just in case)
  4. Then updated the applications

I’ll now go make a Timeshift snapshot so that I don’t go through all this again.
Thanks everyone! @kisun @ishaan2479 @Shirshendu Happy holidays!
