How to solve this ?

It could be multiple possible reasons about this problem:

  1. Outdated archlinux-keyring package or incorrect date
  2. May be the port used to import PGP keys might be blocked by your ISP
  3. May be your pacman cache has copy of unsigned software packages from last attempts.

Solution to fix the invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature) in Manjaro you should follow below things:

  1. Upgrading the system will fix this problem
  2. Try switching to MIT keyserver in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf file and change the keyserver parameter, which gives alternative ports for fetching PGP keys.
  3. If nothing above works, try this command…
# rm -R /var/lib/pacman/sync
# pacman -Syuf

Well done @anusha

You seem to have learned quite a bit in these six monts since you started using Lnux (Mint if I’m not mistaken: Does Linux run much faster than Windows?) :wink:

May I just add that -f option is not in use for quite some time. Arch developers decided that it’s much safer (and wiser in my opinion) to replace it with –force option. However, I haven’t used it for ages, so now I’m not really sure, but if you look at your man pages for pacman, you’ll see that the only option is –force.

Please see this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=160914

Also you might want to see this page (see version 4.1.0) https://projects.archlinux.org/users/allan/pacman.git/tree/NEWS#n15

Cheers! :smile:

@Raja_Tirupur

You don’t need to use the -f option. That’s not your problem. Simple # pacman -Syu will update your system.

Your problem is a PGP signature from the maintainer:

You need to add it to your pacman key-ring: # pacman-key -r keyid
Pacman will never update or install anything if the key isn’t verified. If you like you may try adding his key from here: https://www.archlinux.org/people/trusted-users/

Just look for Laurent Carlier. His PGP key is 0xD1CEDDAC. So I suggest is you do the following:

sudo pacman -r 0xD1CEDDAC

And then

sudo pacman -Syu

Please do not use any force option because it can only harm your system.

Please let me know if this worked.

EDIT: when I took a second look at your OP, I saw that none of the keys were imported. In this case, your mirror list may be the problem. Can you please post your mirrorlist:

nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (Or use any editor you like: vim, gvim, gedit…)

Thanks @BrankoTesla
i tried with > pacman-key -r 0x5CF9C8D4

gpg: connecting dirmngr at ‘/root/.gnupg/S.dirmngr’ failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.

OK, now I see what your problem might be:

I would suggest refreshing pacman keys. You can try this procedure:

sudo rm -R /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
sudo rm -R /root/.gnupg/ # only if the directory exists
sudo gpg --refresh-keys
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

Then sudo pacman -Syu
