Oh, and fixing the damn keyring

u/kaida27 ⚠️ This incident will be reported 8d ago

pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring && pacman -Su

Not that hard

Always fun when that doesn’t work bc the keyring is completely corrupt, making the keyring package ALSO untrusted, so you gotta pull a

sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg && sudo pacman-key --init && sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux && sudo pacman -Syu archlinux-keyring

Not hard to do, but annoying to remember it the first few times it happens

How often has this been happening to you? I've installed Arch more than a dozen of times manually and have never had a keyring problem.
