Pacman gpg key problems

Due to gpg key problems I can’t install most software (yay for example)

error: yay: signature from "Helmut Stult (schinfo) <helmut.stult@schinfo.de>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/yay-10.3.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y

I looked around on the internet for solutions and came to the help page on the wiki for pacman troubleshooting

is there a solution in that thread? I can’t really understand 90% of the posts there

There is one now…

:+1:

Il faut faire les actions 1, 3, 4, 2 dans cet ordre, en omettant l’étape 5.
You have to do step 1, then 3 then 4 then 2 in that order and don’t execute step 5.
