Update fails: invalid or damaged package

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi,
at 8pm (20:00 cest) I did my daily "pacman -Syu and the update failed with this report:

Error: protontricks-git: Signature of 'Nico Jensch (Chaotic-AUR) <dr460nf1r3
garudalinux.org>' is invalid
:: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/protontricks-git-1.6.0.r1.g4ab6784-1-any.pkg.tar.zst file is damaged (invalid or damaged package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to remove the file? [Y / n]
Error: The operation could not be performed (invalid or damaged package)
Errors occurred, no packages were updated.

Afterwards I checked the sigs:

The signatures look fine to me. Likewise the master signatures.

Then I followed Issues with “signature is marginal trust” or “invalid or corrupted package” from Faq and tutorial here at garuda-forums. But no avail.
Now I need some help. I'd really appreciate it.

Btw: Yesterday I've had a similar problem with an other corrupted package/sig. But deleteing the sig (pacman-key --delete "longalphnummericline") and populate (pacman-key --populate archlinux) solved the problem.
I'm wondering why I have no such problems with my other machines.

In case it is needed:

Delete the bad keyring and repopulate?

Was there any update on how to fix this? I have been through all the guides on here and still have the issue, nothing seems to work (see below) - tried to remove the package itself and says that it does not exist. This is a clean install and I'm wanting to install other things like steam for the first time and it always wants to update the proton tricks which fails and then also stops the install of whatever other software there is.

Option 1

Please download the PKGBUILD and install it manually
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/protontricks.tar.gz
Download the above file and extract it to a new directory.
Open a terminal and cd into the new folder and run the command

makepkg -si

Option 2
Or use any aur helper, like yay

yay -S protontricks

Installed it right now, works fine with yay
