2 months ago Downgrading pacman fixed it, be careful though as downgrading pacman is a very dangerous thing to do. I downgraded it first around v6.0.0 but that broke my system. Though, I easily fixed it through chrooting from a flash drive. I fixed it on downgrading to version 6.0.2. After installing the tools you need, upgrade the pacman.

1 month ago ok wait.. so downgrade pacman to 6.0.2, install whatever blackarch tools, then upgrade pacman back to where it was? is there a way to fix 'makepkgopt' in the code of pacman or the conf file? That way I can just keep pacman where it's at. or is this the only way?

1 month ago I believe it is an issue with gpg signing, and I tried several other methods to fix this (as I couldn't find a guide to downgrade pacman). Thankfully I'm running blackarch in a docker container so I wasn't too worried about breaking everything. In the end downgrading pacman to 6.0.2-9 works. Just run:
wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/pacman/pacman-6.0.2-9-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U [directory of the above file]
Then you should be able to run the install as normal, and then you can run 'pacman -Syu' after to upgrade pacman back to the latest release.

4 weeks ago yup, for now the only workaround I found is downgrading to v6.0.2 and install all the tools I need and upgrade it back to the latest version.

4 weeks ago You can use 'downgrade' command for downgrading packages. Refers to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/downgrading_packages By using this: https://github.com/archlinux-downgrade/downgrade
