[SOLVED] pacman fail GPG nonsense error, can't install anything

The only way I can install anything is to use the base installation media and basestrap, any attempt to use pacman properly has this problem. Once artix-chroot is done, pacman fails with this error.

I repeat, installation works fine via basestrap...

Freshly installed system has this problem.

Even during the live installation this problem occurs (cannot install anything to the live system, such as openssh).
Code: [Select]
# pacman -Syu netifrc

This looks severe...

This seems to happen at random... I just started over on a new VM. The Live Install Media worked. But, as soon as I basestrap, it fails...

That's the opposite of what happened last time...

No new system can be installed instant repo GPG key failure.

Existing systems can continue working. Apparently they don't need this mystery GPG key.

It looks like Artix Linux is no longer in operation...

As stated here it looks like your copy of the artix keyring is out of date.

Try updating the keyring either with the command:

Code: [Select]
# pacman-key --refresh-keys

Or manually upgrading the keys:

Code: [Select]
# pacman -S artix-keyring && pacman -Su
