With GnuPG 2.1, they have tightened up on keys without a passphrase.  We
don't have a passphrase on the root key in the pacman keyring...  This
means that things like adding keys (pacman-key --recv-key <keyid>) now fail.
Strange, --recv-key works fine here, running gnupg-2.1.0-6 on a
pre-gnupg-2.1 pacman-keyring.
Didn't you mean --lsign-key now fails (instead of --recv-key)? As per
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42966 ?

I can confirm that's an issue...
