I have this distrobox container which is running arch. Time to time, when I update the container, I often confront a pacman error due to some GPG credentials related issues, and the update just halts.
Indeed, there is a solution involving updating GPG keys, which does work. However, having to look it up every time I have the issue is not ideal. I want to fix this one once-and-for-all.
Do you guys happen to know the core reason of this behavior? Is this happening due to incorrect setup, or is it a characteristics of Arch? How can I fix this issue (semi-)permanently? Thanks in advance!
You can write a pacman hook to just run the fix PreTransaction.
