Can't update packages

Issues & Assistance

Hi, when trying to update the system, pacman complains about invalid signatures from “CachyOS admin@cachyos.org”. I’ve run pacman with --debug

and then same repeats for cachyos-core-v3. I tried to reset keys with --init and --populate but no luck.

On another try to update it complained again but decided to update anyway. And then problem was no more. Weird, but all’s well that ends well i guess?

It might be because the repo wasn t updated !

We never know sometimes @yt04ka

Did you do an upgrade of the keys beforehand?

sudo pacman -S --needed \
  archlinux-keyring \
  cachyos-keyring

They sometimes get behind the times on old installations having had no upgrades for a longer time. At least that happened to me on an old VM installation.

Love that command @deex , mind if I can try/use it !

Go ahead, why would I mind? :rocket:

Thx, appreciated @deex

I guess i did it as a part of init&populate, but last update before this was just yesterday. They couldn’t get behind so fast, right?

Well, no, they don’t expire that fast
