Key issue when upgrading

[jeanpat]

Hi,
I failed to update with:

sudo pacman -Sy endeavouros-keyring && sudo pacman -Syu

The upgrade failed with the error:

download required keys...
:: Import PGP key 9B7A287D9A2EC608, " David Runge <dvzrv@archlinux.org> " ? [Y/n] Y
error: key "9B7A287D9A2EC608" cannot be searched remotely
error: required key missing from keyring
error: transaction validation failed (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were updated.

any idea to solve the issue?Thanks.

Ok. then try cleaning pacman keyring and start over, like it’s described here:

[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…

Great!

I figure it happens rarely, looks like your keyring got corrupted for some reason…
