After upgrading to the new pacman 4.0, the system update following fails due a lot of untrusted signatures (unknown trust error). I'm guessing we need to verify we really trust these signatures. I've found this guide regarding validating gpg keys: http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/pgp-validating.html. I assume this will be a lot similar, except using the pacman-key frontend to do the verification. So let me step through and see if understand correctly: All the developers keys seem to be published here: http://www.archlinux.org/developers/ and http://www.archlinux.org/trustedusers So to trust Andrea Scarpino's key I would get the pgp key from the above webpage (PGP Key: 0xD30DB0AD) and finger it: pacman-key --finger 0xD30DB0AD then compare the finger print with the one thats linked to his profile: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&fingerprint=on&exact=on&search=0xD30DB0AD It seems to match, so there is a good chance it's the real deal, so now I can locally sign it: pacman-key --lsign-key 0xD30DB0AD Correct? In examples of the article also marks the key as trusted. Would that be a good idea? We have to do this for each and every Arch developer I guess? Is there a faster way? Sander
