unable to update system because of dkp key error

Post by lynxano » Sun Jun 13, 2021 1:46 am

the wiki says that keyring servers are messy but i
i don't know how keys work and have no idea how to resolve that on my own

ive tried reinstalling and checking out key information but like again i have no idea what im doing and wasnt able to figure out anything on my own
i remember getting help when i first added the unofficial arch dkp repository, i needed dkp for building some code i wrote and wasn't able to install it because of keys. i don't know what they told me to do and have no real way of finding it, i don't remember who it was and it is buried... uh, somewhere (??).
sorry!!
worst case if this can't be resolved (it probably can!!), i, would appreciate being shown to the door with a way of safely having pacman ignore dkp so i can upgrade (important!).

signature from "fincs <[email protected]>" is unknown trust

Post by silverhikari » Sun Jun 13, 2021 9:27 am

after following the installation instructions on the wiki(add the keys then add the keyring, then update database) for a pre-existing pacman installation(i am using manjaro), and changing the package servers to the newest servers. when i go to update the package servers after the change pacman reports "error: dkp-libs: signature from "fincs <[email protected]>" is unknown trust error: failed to update dkp-libs (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))" i have tried updating the keyring and reinstalling the key ring along with clearing the cache to see if that helps as some posts so to do that, but that did not work. any advice on how to fix this

I've tried installing from scratch on a fresh Manjaro install and everything seems to work fine. The only reasonably explanation I can think of atm is that neither of you has installed the devkitpro keyring.

Before you do anything else can you show the output of these commands

Code: Select all

pacman -Ss keyring
pacman-key -l
This should, in theory, be solved by following the instructions to install the keyring on the wiki

Code: Select all

   wget https://pkg.devkitpro.org/devkitpro-keyring.pkg.tar.xz
   sudo pacman -U devkitpro-keyring.pkg.tar.xz

Code: Select all

$ pacman -Ss keyring
error: dkp-libs: signature from "fincs <fincs at devkitpro.org>" is unknown trust
error: database 'dkp-libs' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

because of the verbose output on the second command, i picked the very beginning and end. the rest of the output is in a file im gonna attach!

Code: Select all

$ pacman-key -l
gpg: Note: trustdb not writable
...
pub   rsa4096 2017-08-20 [SCA]
      032F4C9D0B8FF3BC84019B7862C7609ADA219C60
uid           [ unknown] fincs <fincs at devkitpro.org>
uid           [  undef ] fincs <fincs.alt1 at gmail.com>
sub   rsa4096 2017-08-20 [E]
one of the thing i found that seemed helpful to my issue yesterday was that someone had issues with their computer resetting the permissions attached to a key file? based on the output of pacman-key -l i think that might be the case for me as well, but, i dont, really know what i could do to check.


this is the full output when i follow the wiki

OK, that looks like maybe you've edited pacman.conf and updated before attempting to install the keyring and it then failed to install the keyring so fincs' key hasn't been added.

Try commenting the dkp-libs repo in your pacman.conf, run sudo pacman -Sy to update the databases and then install the keyring using sudo pacman -U devkitpro-keyring.pkg.tar.xz. Once you've done that then uncomment the dkp-libs repo and sudo pacman -Sy again

hey! that worked!! thank you

it seems to have worked.

I, i still cant update because of a broken dependency, seems like something to do with audio, but im gonna take a guess and say that has nothing to do with dkp.
thank you!

I'm guessing that pacman has attempted to import the key with the first error so we can try uninstalling the keyring, deleting the offending key & then reinstalling the keyring again.

My manjaro test VM shows this in the trusted keys

Code: Select all

pub   rsa4096 2017-08-20 [SCA]
      032F4C9D0B8FF3BC84019B7862C7609ADA219C60
uid           [  full  ] fincs <[email protected]>
sub   rsa4096 2017-08-20 [E]
But yours show

Code: Select all

pub   rsa4096 2017-08-20 [SCA]
      032F4C9D0B8FF3BC84019B7862C7609ADA219C60
uid           [ unknown] fincs <[email protected]>
uid           [  undef ] fincs <[email protected]>
sub   rsa4096 2017-08-20 [E]
So, fingers crossed, running these commands should fix it.

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -R devkitpro-keyring
sudo pacman-key -d 032F4C9D0B8FF3BC84019B7862C7609ADA219C60
sudo pacman -S devkitpro-keyring
