Unable to install Yay and Endeavouros Keyring

General system

Note this box comes from Antergos days and has been updated overtime for a while. Things were fine until today. I do have another more fresh EndeavourOS box that updates fine.

The thread handles how to solve the signature problem from the point I referred you to.

The fix:

sudo pacman-key --lsign-key “EndeavourOS”

Thanks for the help. Making it easier for someone else to find in case they have the same problem.

[bob@Endeavour ~]$ sudo pacman-key --lsign-key “EndeavourOS”
[sudo] password for bob:
→ Locally signing key “EndeavourOS”…
==> ERROR: “EndeavourOS” could not be locally signed.

Remove the quotes around EndeavourOS.

Got it, thanks.

Worked with the quotes for me…

Copying strings with quotes here may change the quote characters to different (and thus wrong) quotes. Proper quotes do work.

11

I am having a problem with it saying that it can not be locally signed. Have tried with and without “”.

12 
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key EndeavourOS

Worked for me

$ sudo pacman-key --lsign-key EndeavourOS
[sudo] password for xxxxxx: 
  -> Locally signing key EndeavourOS...

gpg: next trustdb check due at 2020-05-03

Not being patronising or anything, but please try copy pasting from the first line in this post.

I hope its ok to bump this, I have the same issue now again with Fehler: yay: signature from "manuel <manuel@endeavouros.com>" is unknown trust and running

[daniel@fs0ciety ~]$ sudo pacman-key --lsign-key EndeavourOS -> Signiere Schlüssel 1 lokal... ==> Aktualisiere Trust-Datenbank... gpg: nächste "Trust-DB"-Pflichtüberprüfung am 2023-07-12
