Trying to install arch i686 on my IBM x345 using 2015 07 install media (yes I know its 2 years old). Get as far as running pacstrap and it comes to a crashing halt on checking package integrity

How can I get past this crash
That's not a broken package, that is a PGP signature verification error. I'd say to run pacman with the --debug flag (pacstrap will pass it on to pacman for you), except the problem is fairly obvious -- the archlinux-keyring package has been updated a number of times since that ISO. I suggest you use the current, up-to-date ISO built and hosted on https://archlinux32.org which is where the official/affiliated efforts to preserve i686 are being held. Two of the Arch Devs/TUs (Bartłomiej Piotrowski and Balló György) are involved with the project, and once official support for i686 is dropped at the end of the year, you will need to migrate to archlinux32 anyway. Note that we are optimistic that archlinux32 can receive official recognition as a tier-two architecture and thus remain affiliated with archlinux.org itself. :) ... Regardless, the 2-year-old ISO will not work. You need an ISO which has pacman 5 on it, in order to have pacman hooks run. These hooks are important for several reasons, including the fact that they are used to generate an initramfs and therefore allow you to boot into your installation. :) The earliest archlinux.org archiso that will work for you is the March 2016 one, and even then you will have to update the archlinux-keyring package on its own in order to fix keys that expired and were renewed or replaced in the two years since your ISO. -- Eli Schwartz
