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]

Barthalion: I wish it wasn't the case; however, it is a recurring issue I continue to encounter here in the AUR. I suspect many users just fire off an AUR helper and ignore the output unless something fails. One can hope at least a few will read the comments before posting that it doesn't work.

Pinned, thank you WoefulDerelict. I guess the number of comments about missing public key is a perfect proof that almost no one bothers reading PKGBUILD before the build.

Had an error in my makepkg.conf file, so nevermind, false alarm, soz.

Couldn't get it to build until I added `option=(!buildflags)` and `CC=clang` to the pkgbuild.

Like jpetso say : import PGP key manually work for me : gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F7E48EDB

It is generally canonical when necessary to append a major version suffix not to include a hyphen. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards As this is a link to ncurses it should probably carry the underlying ncurses MIT licence.
