Summary and Info:

Upon upgrading my system (pacman -Syu), pacman wants to import the PGP key `908710913E8C7778, "bill-auger <bill-auger@programmer.net>"` but appears to fail when trying to look up the key remotely, ending in a segmentation fault.

```
downloading required keys...
:: Import PGP key 908710913E8C7778, "bill-auger <bill-auger@programmer.net>"? [Y/n]
debug: looking up key bill-auger@programmer.net using WKD
debug: gpg error: End of file
debug: looking up key 908710913E8C7778 remotely

error: segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate.
Segmentation fault
```

Running `pacman-key --refresh` gives me a ton of errors like this one

```
gpg: error retrieving 'root@pedrohlc.com' via WKD: No data
gpg: error reading key: No data
gpg: refreshing 1 key from hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 3056513887B78AEB: "Pedro Henrique Lara Campos <root@pedrohlc.com>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1
```

and does not solve the problem. Running `pacman -Syu` again results in the same issue.

Steps to Reproduce:

pacman -Syu

This looks like a duplicate of  FS#71107  but that was fixed and backported on arch.

What version of pacman are you using (pacman -Q pacman)? And what distro.

Pacman version 6.0.0 and I am using pacman on Artix Linux.
