Help with AUR - YAY

I installed Brave Browser from AUR with YAY and it worked as it should, but today it’s stuck in:

In my language it means:

:: Continue the installation? [Y/n] y
(1/1) checking keys in keyring [------] 100%

Can I just CTRL + C and type YAY again in terminal or wait? It’s been stuck at least 15 mins.

Yes, will not hurt anything, then try again.

If you aren’t already, you might consider using eos-update to update your system and packages. It will help manage keyring updates, avoiding potential keyring related issues.

Something like:

eos-update --yay

You might add --nvidia as well, if using a Nvidia GPU.

Edit: to clarify, you’d still install AUR applications the way you have been.

I resolved this, but thank you. I always do that when there are core updates. I updated everything today, and the Brave update came afterward. It seems that it did not freeze because when I relaunched yay, Brave updated the first time. Maybe the terminal froze or something else.
