Before running makepkg, you must do this (as normal user):

$ gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org

If you want to update tor-browser from AUR without AUR helpers you can run in a terminal:

$ tor-browser -u

@ewtoombs, you probably: 1. did not import the GPG key. Try the pinned comment. 2. are trying to download behind a firewall that blocks the Tor site.

I'm getting

==> ERROR: sha256sums does not allow empty values.
==> ERROR: sha256sums does not allow empty values.

It won't build.

$ gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org generates this error:

gpg: error retrieving 'torbrowser@torproject.org' via WKD: End of file gpg: error reading key: End of file

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Refreshing the PGP key

Run the following command to refresh the Tor Browser Developers signing key in your local keyring from the keyserver. This will also fetch the new subkeys.

gpg --refresh-keys EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290

@solarisfire: this error happened to me too. It is because the Tor Browser developpers used to a new subkey of their long-term PGP signing key. You simply need to re-imported the updated PGP key with

$ gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org

and the gpg signature check in makepkg will succeed.

This is failing today:

@Powerless read the PKGBUILD file and check the source of the binaries. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=tor-browser-bin

There you see those files are downloaded from the torproject site it self. The maintainer does not build these files, they just update where and when needed.

Powerless commented on 2024-08-18 00:36 (UTC)

Honest question: How do I know that this package is secure and has not been infected by the maintainer?
