Using the arch box installation (after having to go in and give root a password and install a network manager), Pacman has decided to gain dementia and lose all ability to use PGP. When I try to install anything, I get an error like this:

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.```

I tried to reset the keys using several methods, all for not.
