Details

Description: archlinux-keyring should be upgraded before other packages (much like pacman). Attempting to install new packages signed by new trusted users before upgrading archlinux-keyring will throw a PGP error that claims that the package is corrupt.

An example of this is "confuse", version 2.8-2, signed by Thorsten Töpper. Before installing "archlinux-keyring" version 20160123-1, this message is displayed:

error: confuse: signature from "Thorsten Töpper <atsutane@freethoughts.de>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/confuse-2.8-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

As a workaround, archlinux-keyring can be specifically upgraded and affected packages should upgrade without an issue.
This task depends upon
