Update failed with several packages not valid or damaged (PGP signature) errors, any Idea?

Issues & Assistance
1

Hello, after downloaded 219 files and after the step “verifying the integrity of the packages” I got this error:
error: libx11: the signature of Andreas Radke is not valid

The file /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libx11-1.6.12.-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is damaged (package not valid or damaged (PGP signature))
Do you want to eliminate it? Y/n

So I deleted it, then came other similar errors with other files and my terminal got closed by mistake.
So the installation failed and all files downloaded got lost, losing 2,5 hours, my internet connection is slow. I am downloading all again, but I am afraid is going to fail, What can I do?
Regards

Try update your mirrorlist.

sudo reflector --country Germany --latest 15 --age 2 --fastest 20 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Change the country to your liking. E.g. --country France,Germany
You use last DE? 200831 / 200901 ?

I am Spaniard but I am stuck in the north of South America. The German repos allowed to download the missing files. I tried to upgrade a second time, It did it without errors but the upgrade windows close too fast, I could not read when it finished.
Then I issued on Konsole: sudo pacman -Syu
I got this, sorry it is in Spanish, but it is an error:

In summary: conflicts in some files that “already exist in the system and are part of plasma5-applets-window-buttons” Probably is not a critical error so I will install Wine and a Win Program.
“Errors occurred, so the packages were not updated”

:blush:

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite "*"

if you put ‘LANG=C’ in front it will translate to english

( 6/33) Creating temporary files…

I restarted the system, it looks good. By the way beautiful wallpapers, I feel at home :slight_smile:
I will install Wine my old 2 win programs and probably Onlyoffice or WPS and test Affinity Photo.
Thanks a lot for your help, and have a good night, it must be very late in Germany.

I installed Garuda Linux and tried to update but got an error database update failed. Then I checked the mirror list. All were commented. So I tried to un-comment some mirror list and tried to run the update command. But I got the same error. Until I saw your solution.

I really want to thank you for this. My Question is why are the update mirrors commented? For a first time user it becomes some what difficult. .
