Today, I tried to upgrade my Arch Linux server using command 'sudo pacman -Syu', and I got the following error:
[...] :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libpsl-0.16.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Then, I ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' command, but still no luck. I kept getting the same error no matter how many times I tried. After a bit of search on Google and Arch Linux forums, I found that there are new keys in the archlinux-keyring package.
Fix "invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)" Error In Arch Linux
To fix this issue, we need to update the archlinux-keyring package.
To do so, run:
$ sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring
Sample output would be:

The above command will update the new keys and disable the revoked keys in your Arch Linux system.
Again, I tried to upgrade my Arch Linux using command:
$ sudo pacman -Syu
This time the upgrade process went well without any issues.

How do I add new ones like for mono-addins
often problems- no key.
sudo pacman -Sy gnupg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring fast, important
sudo pacman -Syu big download/install
[clear is deleting operation !]
pacman-key –refresh-keys fast, important, impact
Worked like a charm! Thank you very much.
