can not downgrade - invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)

[SvenMeyer]

As I have problems with the 113 version on Manjaro, see #227 , I wanted to downgrade using the previous version from the cache, however this gives me an error. Actually it works with none of the packages which I installed previously without problems.

However, I just remember when I install an update (using the GUI updater) it always downloads ungoogled-chromium twice ... strange.

Is there something wrong with the PGP signature ?

$ echo $DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA
1

$ sudo downgrade ungoogled-chromium
[sudo] password for sum: 

Downgrading from A.L.A. is disabled on the stable branch. To override this behavior, set DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA to 1.
See https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Downgrading_packages  for more details.

error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/ungoogled-chromium-112.0.5615.165-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst': invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)

I just did a refresh of the software database using the Manjaro GUI and it came back with an error message when reaching ungoogled_chromium.

However, when I used the CLI it looks like to work. Shouldn't both outcomes be the same ?

$ sudo pacman -Syy

If there anything wrong with specifying the repo in /etc/pacman.conf ?

[home_ungoogled_chromium_Arch]
SigLevel = Required TrustAll
Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ungoogled_chromium/Arch/$arch

I think the OBS changes keys every time all packages in a repository finish building.

[SvenMeyer]

@jstkdng Does that make sense? Is that a "normal" process ? Maybe just better use your repo ? ;-)

perhaps it does to the OBS folks, not to me. I had to disable Signature Checking whenever I needed to downgrade.

Maybe just better use your repo ? ;-)

My repo also uses the OBS m8. I'd recommend you to move from manjaro to regular arch or an arch distro that doesn't hold package upgrades.

I'd recommend you to move from manjaro to regular arch or an arch distro that doesn't hold package upgrades.

What would be your recommendation if I want a stable system just as a "user" ?
