This PKGBUILD verifies the authenticity of the source via PGP signatures which are not part of the Arch Linux keyring. In order to complete the process it is necessary to import the key(s) from the ‘validpgpkeys’ array into the user’s keyring before calling makepkg. There is a helpful article explaining this process by one of Arch Linux's developers located here: http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-keyrings-for-package-management-in-arch-linux/

Instructions on importing keys from a keyserver and how to automate the retrieval process can be found in the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver This article also contains helpful information describing the installation of GnuPG, its configuration and usage.

Execute the following to import keys using gpg:

gpg --recv-keys <KEYID - See 'validpgpkeys' array in PKGBUILD>

The PGP signature check can be skipped by passing --skippgpcheck to makepkg.

Consult the makepkg manual page for a full list of options. [https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html]

" gpg --keyserver "http://pgp.mit.edu/" --recv-keys "702353E0F7E48EDB" gpg --lsign 702353E0F7E48EDB " NO longer works. " gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 " pgp.mit.edu no longer contains any information about key "702353E0F7E48EDB". Maybe it expired? Anyway workaround: - alias makepkg='makepkg --skippgpcheck - download PKGBUILD - makepkg - sudo pacman -U ncurses5-compat-libs-6.0+20170527-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

"checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" This error occurred when installed ncurses5-compat-libs, any ideas?

About the problem... " ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... ncurses-6.0-20161224.tgz ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! " This works for me... " gpg --keyserver "http://pgp.mit.edu/" --recv-keys "702353E0F7E48EDB" gpg --lsign 702353E0F7E48EDB "

@andrew-wja: Read the end of the pinned comment carefully.

You can't get this package to build because you are incapable of reading the only pinned comment, which explains why it fails for you and how can you fix it.

I can't get this package to build because the associated PGP key is not trusted by the Arch keychain. I ran pacman-key --recv-keys <KEYID>, which was successful, but the package still will not build. The only way I could get the package to install was to download the PKGBUILD and build and install the package manually with makepkg.

Seems to build fine on armv7h. Maybe add that to the arch array?

@agentcobra, you need to import WoefulDerelict's public key. You can learn how to do it, but reading the message pinned on top of this message. I hope it helps!
