Having an issue upgrading to the signature for the package intel-gmmlib:
Error: intel-gmmlib: signature from "Daniel Bermond <dbermond@archlinux.org>" is marginal trust
I tried
sudo pacman -S manjaro-keyring
sudo pacman-key --populate manjaro
but neither this (as it looks like I had already updated the key-ring post October), nor sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring resolve this.
Have you triedā¦ 
sudo pacman -Suu archlinux-keyring
ā¦?
Not sure why that would be different, but I just tried it and got the same (essentially) error:
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
(934/934) checking keys in keyring [#####################################################################] 100%
(934/934) checking package integrity [#####################################################################] 100%

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] n
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
man pacman
ā¦ would tell you why. 
No, itās a different error. Similar, but different. As such, the problem lies with Arch ā as was the case already, but if even downgrading the keyring doesnāt work, then they had better get to work on getting their signatures sorted.
The problem is apparently caused by one or several Arch maintainers stepping down, and their signatures being revoked as a result.
Disagree ā itās the same error, but thanks for the info otherwise.
Would be helpful if it were added to the notes for the stable update pinned above.
Considering that itās only a temporary problem and not expected to recur across different update generations, I donāt think it would be warranted. 
This is indeed the best solution.
Worth noting, for this to work, one has to have installed the ārightā arch keyring, which currently is the January version, and not the latest from February. So a downgrade with sudo pacman -Syuu might be needed.
Apparently the signature issue has been resolved in archlinux-keyring 20260131-1, itās just that the latest stable release of Manjaro provides an older version.
We had to, because the newer version was the corrupted one.
Do you have a source for the claim that the newer keyring is corrupted?
Yes. All you need to do is look at the amount of recent threads regarding signatures of marginal trust.
Thatās exactly what Iāve done ā that does not mean the keyring is ācorruptedā.
However, the newer keyring fixed at least one maintainerās level of trust, and newer ones will fix others.

I guess we still have to wait for the next Manjaro stable update in the coming weeks for this to be resolved. I still think this should be mentioned in the notes above, as it is currently preventing an upgrade unless one is willing to downgrade the keyring or reduce the trust level.
Several recommended fixes have been presented, and are approved by the Manjaro Team. Therefore, the problem is fixable and there are no negative side-effects.
What recommended fix? You gave me one suggestion that didnāt work, told me the problem is on the Arch side, which means I canāt upgrade until the upgraded key-ring package filters into Manjaro Stable.
Hereās the problemā¦
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1rafluf/pacman_and_keyring_issues/
And hereās how you fix it, for good, until the next update ā bundled or otherwise.
sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
sudo pacman-key --init && sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro && sudo pacman -Syu
Yes, the ERROR is that pacman is rejecting the package because the signature has marginal trust.
So you can first just refresh keys until it worksā¦ pacman-key --refresh-keys and you can also have a go at manually trusting the keyā¦ so:
pacman-key --list-sigs | grep -B2 -A2 "Daniel Bermond"
sudo pacman-key --edit-key <KEY-ID>
You can type ātrustā and select an appropriate level, then quit.
Now, reinstall both keyrings:
sudo pacman -S manjaro-keyring archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
Something else - not recommended for regular use - is to use --overwrite or --noconfirm, but itās really better to wait a bit until the issue resolves itself.
Let us know how you get on
OK thanks, I got this to work.
I think the key part was:
sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
sudo pacman-key --init
pamac info shows that archlinux-keyring version is 20260107-2.0 (which it was when I first tried to upgrade a couple of weeks ago).
