Compiling firefox from source

[alaindevos]

Hi, the first thing I tried after installing endavouros is compiling firefox from source.
But I recieve a weird gpg key error.
I did something like “yay -S arch/firefox-esr”.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-esr/

How do I get rid of this gpg error ?

[FAQ] Issues with “signature is marginal trust”, "signature is unknown trust", or “invalid or corrupted package”

If you’re getting an error similar to “Can’t update: signature from *** is marginal trust” or “invalid or corrupted package” you probably just need to update your package signing keys: sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring sudo pacman -Syu Also make sure your system clock is correct! Of course, it’s also possible that the package file actually is corrupt. Remove it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ so pacman will download it again. If no package file is explicitly mentioned then yo…

depending on the error you’re getting.

I did :

pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring ; pacman-key --populate archlinux sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys ; pacman -Syu

$ yay -S firefox-esr
It gave the error :
: There are 3 providers available for firefox-esr:
:: Repository AUR
1) firefox-esr 2) firefox-esr-pt-br-bin 3) firefox-esr68

Use a different keyserver. The default keyserver pool on Arch is having issues lately.

nano ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
add this:
keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
save [Ctrl+X]
retry

I’ve been using keyserver.ubuntu.com for a while since the Arch keyservers started playing up. Seems to have worked so far

Also, I’ve stuck my keyserver into: /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf

this will only work for pacman, yay is using users keyring

@Sar

Arch keyservers

they are using public keyservers… and what is still failing is the default hkps://pool.sks-keyservers.net with hkps protocol what is still not working on most all servers from that pool…

Ahh, was wondering why the two conf files!
