securitybreach Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 GnuPG-2.1 and the pacman keyring 2014-12-08 - Gaetan Bisson The upgrade to gnupg-2.1 ported the pacman keyring to a new upstream format but in the process rendered the local master key unable to sign other keys. This is only an issue if you ever intend to customize your pacman keyring. We nevertheless recommend all users fix this by generating a fresh keyring. In addition, we recommend installing haveged, a daemon that generates system entropy; this speeds up critical operations in cryptographic programs such as gnupg (including the generation of new keyrings). To do all the above, run as root: pacman -Syu haveged systemctl start haveged systemctl enable haveged rm -fr /etc/pacman.d/gnupg1 pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate archlinux https://www.archlinux.org/news/gnupg-21-and-the-pacman-keyring/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
