For the past six months, pacman's package verification features were turned off by default while we were figuring out the details of our public-key infrastructure. They have finally been enabled in pacman-4.0.3-2; when you upgrade, you will be prompted to run: pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate archlinux _____________________________________ Hello! Is it possible to run this commands remotely (ssh)? I have tried in different machines, and all of them seem to hang after saying "gpg: Generating pacman keychain master key..." Well, it is not hanged, after almost 30 minutes I can stop it with CTRL-C, and get a "gpg: signal interrupt caught ... exiting" Best Regards, Guillermo Leira
