Hi,
I have an Arch Linux laptop that hasn't been updated in a long time,
mainly because it started to lock-up after a few minutes uptime,
requiring a power cycle. I'm now trying to update all its packages in
the hope the lock-ups have gone, and if not to have a more modern base
for diagnosis.
A ‘pacman -Syuw’ took a few goes but signature checking had problems, as
did trying to update signatures. I resorted to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Package_signing#Resetting_all_the_keys
that appeared to succeed.
The next attempt at ‘pacman -Syuw’ gets to

This looks very similar to where I've been before. The next attempt to
download those, now deleted, packages does no better. I'm going to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Package_signing#Disabling_signature_checking
but would still like to understand what I should attempt instead.
The keys that are invalid are probably keys that are not in your
archlinux-keyring.
I suggest you use
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive to update in
several steps instead of a big one.
