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]

Can you please apply the modification mentioned here[1]? It only works for me with that change. [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1563139#p1563139

@bobjimbob You can modify this: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/lib32-ncurses&id=d6554c99ff9c32adb4443320ad3d27e6dcbd6a5a

Could someone create a lib32 version of this? I have a 3rd party 32 bit gdb debugger that still requires ncurses v5.

That did it, everything is fine. Thanks.

Baudouin: gpg needs to import the key of the ncurses maintainer. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Import_key . gpg --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB

for lib in ncurses ncurses++ form panel menu; do ln -s /usr/lib/lib${lib}w.so.5 "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/lib${lib}.so.5 done would be better for users that would use the lib directly instead of linking.
