[SOLVED] Error refreshing gpg keys

i am trying to update the local keys for pacman and show the following error:
Code: [Select]
$ doas pacman-key --refresh-keys
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.
After researching a bit I found this solution but the error remains:
Code: [Select]

After fought with this thing i figured out.
The keyserver sometimes are outdated so you have to pick the one is updated. The server more updated i found is https://pgp.circl.lu
You need to add it on
Code: [Select]
$ vi /etc/pacman.d/gpg.conf
Code: [Select]
keyserver hkps://pgp.circl.lu
The last week multiples keyserver were down. So you have to be aware if you encountered with this error.

If you instal something yiwht yay or another aur helper and need to import a key, you need to configure it this way:
Code: [Select]
$ mkdir -p ~/.gnupg/
$ vi ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
then add
Code: [Select]
keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
