Also when I try updating the whole system it gets stuck on this.
Iā€™ ve also tried:
sudo pacman -S pcsclite --overwrite "*"
with no succes

when do you proceed the last full system update?
if it was long time ago ā€¦ it can happen that you need to update archlinux-keyring before you can check signed packages again.

wget http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/archlinux-keyring-20211028-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U archlinux-keyring-20211028-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

and before installing any new package make sure system is up to date:
pacman -Syu
