@Nestor_013: as indicated in the changelog, the signing key has changed, you can download it from https://github.com/Fedict/eid-archive/commit/02e5cb2be7b76d32b6372afd532ee6c82355bd5a and import it manually

@cherkaba: See the link in the PKGBUILD.

The 'release' packages are signed by the key you mention (and found here: https://eid.belgium.be/en/linux-eid-software-installation).

However, sources are not signed with that key, but with the one mentioned here: https://files.eid.belgium.be/info.html (as explained in the PKGBUILD).

I hope this helps!

I just published the new keys of EID to the popular keyservers (keyserver.ubuntu.com, keys.openpgp.org)

Now, when upgrading with AUR, if your openpgp config is set to either of them (mostly is), it will work out of the box

Thanks @bart, working now.

Hi, using yay to upgrade I'm facing a key problem:

I tried to ''pacman-key --recv-keys'' but without success. Any clue ?

I will be orphaning this package due to time constraint, and hope that someone else will pick it up.

As a follow up to @liquidfire's comment, let me detail how I imported the public keys of the eid-mw package.

Referring to the https://files.eid.belgium.be/info.html page, I opened https://files.eid.belgium.be/ and downloaded the following file:

Then I issued the following command to import the public keys:

gpg --import 6773d225.asc
gpg --import 10a04d46.asc

Now you can build and install the package.

Thanks @lquidfire.

Those procedures didn't work for me initially; but based on the error messages I found this info regarding firewalls. I'm on a mobile connection abroad and had no idea, but there may indeed be some firewall, because gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D95426E309C0492990D8E8E2824A5E0010A04D46 (note the :80) did the trick to import the key.

By now, eid-mw is up and running :-) Many thanks for AURing it!

Hi @Velabrum,

Have a look at:

1) This, and

2) This

I hope this helps!

Hi, trying to install this from Pamac on Manjaro. I get the below errors about PGP key errors, which I know little about. Can someone help me address this? Thanks!

A tool that can help with this is the package extra/rebuild-detector. It has a Pacman hook that will notify you when a library update breaks any of your local repo software. You then know that that software has to be rebuilt.
