su: user EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290 does not exist

[suedi]

Have a problem with lines 657 and 659

657: su -c "addpgpkeys ${validpgpkeys[@]}" aurbuild

659: su -c "removepgpkeys ${validpgpkeys[@]}" aurbuild

I have two keys in validpgpkeys

8738A680B84B3031A630F2DB416F061063FEE659 EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290

when trying to build tor-browser-en bash/su interprets the second key in validgpgkeys as a user

and I get the error message above

I don't know how to tell bash to parse in right order here

I did as a workaround

tmp_validpgpkeys="${validpgpkeys[@]}"
su -c "addpgpkeys $tmp_validpgpkeys" aurbuild
...
 su -c "removepgpkeys  $tmp_validpgpkeys aurbuild
unset tmp_validpgpkeys

How to do this better

Wow, hmmm. Thanks, I'll get right on this.

There were several issues but finally got it fixed for v2.1 (@022c404) !

The default behavior when presented with a signed package is to prompt, then import the keys, build the package and finally remove the PGP keys.

Alternatively, use the --keepkeys flag to avoid the removal. This can be added to apacman.conf as keepflags=1. Also provided is --purgekeys flag to remove pre-existing keys.

For future reference:

• when passing arrays to su use ${var[*]} rather than ${var[@]} (but otherwise simply double-quote "${var[@]}" to avoid expansion)
• pass username to su before -c
• separate user input from su (otherwise subshell exit may not work as intended)
