Topic: Troubles with downloading keys during pacstrap and key's expiration

I have a problem with downloading keys during the base system installation step. Here's the output of "pacstrap /mnt base":

I tried to import the Hyperbola signing key following the reference_installation wiki page and noticed that the key has expired recently.

Output of "gpg --list-key --with-fingerprint F9704456":

Re: Troubles with downloading keys during pacstrap and key's expiration

Hello and welcome to the forums: You do not need to add / upgrade any key especially not from individual members from the team. If you look into the repositories: The package hyperbola-keyring is essential for all packages.

https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/cor … a-keyring/

And all packages are signed using exactly our build-server only.

Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
