welcome at the purple side of Linux!

Make sure to update system before installing new packages, and sometimes may needed to update database with it e.g. sudo pacman -Syyu

Read here if PGP issue still happens after that:

remark: edited your post: added code tags and removed Names and Email, take care to not post emailadress from others in clear text.

Welcome Aboard! :enos_flag:

that was once i a while kinda error
this one keep coming again and againIMG_20210120_185543

and if you can tell me how to correct currupted pkg in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

Your database are not updated. Make sure to follow the command Mr. Joe suggested.

You usually use sudo pacman -Syu to update system. -Syyu forces a database refresh before updating, and should not be used regularly. But its okay to use it if the usual command isn’t working.

Edit: how can I forget! Welcome to Endeavour OS! :enos_flag: :partying_face:

Edit 2: If this is your first update after a fresh install, you should try running sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring before updating.

Lets try updating your mirrorlist.
Make a backup of the bundled mirrorlist file

cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ~/mirrorlist.bak

Then run reflector to rate and save fresh mirrors.

reflector --verbose --latest 15 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

After this, try running the update commands suggested earlier.

Re-posted because I earlier replied to the wrong post
