Hi Team,

While updating , i am getting the following error, request your help. I am using cinnamon desktop

:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-5.6.5.arch3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]”

Deleted /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-5.6.5.arch3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst , after doing sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys. Now updated without any issues. Thanks @ringo.

I’m getting the exact same error, but for kernel 6.7.8.arch1-1 . Refreshing the keys or clearing the cache hasn’t worked.

EDIT: Changing the mirror fixed the problem (through endeavorOS welcome app)
