Answer from Claude-Sonnet-3.5
While I was updating Manjaro Linux using "sudo pacman -Syu" the following error occurred: "Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y error: neovim: signature from "Daniel M. Capella [email protected]" is unknown trust :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/neovim-0.10.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded." How should I fix it?
This error message appears frequently. So next time when I update my Manjaro Linux, do you have any suggestions to avoid such errors?
