Description:
When a key is missing for a package in Core or Extra (e.g. due to stale archlinux-keyring), currently it errors out not after "checking keys in keyring", but after the next step "checking package integrity". On an old box with many packages to be upgraded, "checking package integrity" can take many minutes and is just a waste of time. Can we please error out earlier, at the appropriate step "checking keys in keyring"? Additional info: pacman v. 5.0.1 Steps to reproduce: * Downgrade some package * Remove corresponding dev key from keyring * pacman -Syu * Notice where failure happens |
