Today package `endeavouros-keyring` was updated. This means users should update this package _as soon as possible_ in order to avoid issues when updating other packages. Similar to what we have been doing when Arch keyring updates, you should run commands ```auto sudo pacman -Sy endeavouros-keyring sudo pacman -Syu ``` Edit 2023.05.28: Alternatively, you can run command ```auto eos-update ``` ---

Yeah, normal update should work for now, but later it might not work anymore. Thatā€™s why this thread. ---

Can someone point me to an article where the concept of this keyring is explained and why it is necessary to update it like this? [https://archlinux.org/master-keys/](https://archlinux.org/master-keys/) Seems to be for ppl how know more than I do. šŸ„² ---

The keyring package contains all (public) GPG keys of the packagers. Packagers sign their packages with their (private) GPG key. pacman validates all packages prior to installation if they were signed with any of these ā€œtrustedā€ keys contained in the keyring. (Thus you can be sure a package was built by an ā€œofficial packagerā€ and it has not been tampered with. A mirror could otherwise serve whatever garbage it wants and youā€™d install it blindly) Now if a packager changes their signing keys (or there is a new packager with a new key) and starts signing packages with it, this new key needs to be in the keyring obviously, otherwise pacman will reject installing it. Thus you sometimes need to update the keyring package (to get this new key(s) being trusted) before installing any other packages. Now that is a very simplified explanation. For more details, see: [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package\_signing](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing) ---

Ran in to a mild issue, thought Iā€™d share just in case anyone else hit it. Just running yay or sudo pacman -Syu, there was an update for yay and the keyring. yay failed to update citing corruption or invalid key. The trick was to run yay, skip the yay update, and allow the keyring update to apply first, then update yay. I tried all the manual keyring clear and update to no avail, in the end it was, as it usually is, an order of operations issue. ---

Thatā€™s not related to the keyring, so you should open a new topic for your issue. ---

Personally, I prefer to use the **eos-update** script for updating. That checks for current keyrings before the system update and does a few other useful things. This means that most keyring problems do not occur. ```auto LANG=C pacman -Qo "$(type -p eos-update)" /usr/bin/eos-update is owned by eos-bash-shared 23-19.1 ``` I created an alias for it: ```auto alias eosu='eos-update --yay' ``` ---
