[arch-general] Anyone having problems refreshing PGP keys lately?
Good morning all, I am wondering if anyone is having problems refreshing PGP keys from the default server? I can force it to use the ipv4 server, but using mate-terminal with orca I am unable to edit the /etc/pacman.d/gnu/pgp.conf file to change the server. Orca will not read it and plume will not open it with sudo rites. Any ideas on this one? This is an older arch vm which will not update till the PGP keys have been updated and imported. I do not have speech in a conc so that would not work. Thanks. Matthew

The SKS pools are not in good shape right now. Should work fine using the ubuntu keyserver. You should be able to update the archlinux-keyring package then update the system. If it's old enough that it doesn't have the key for archlinux-keyring, it's not going to have pacman 5.2 and won't be able to successfully update anyway. The hooks in current packages require pacman 5.2.
Hi. This machine is from 2019. I am guessing there is a way to get the version of Pac-Man on that system. I was unable to get orca to read the file. To give you an idea of how old this system is, the nano is 4.4 something. Matthew. Sent from my iPhone

You should update pacman, pacman-key, and anything else that needs updating by using the -r option (root) in pacman.
