Updating to gnupg 2.4 results in the Alexey's packager key losing trust:

error: perl-Error: signature from "Alexey Pavlov (Alexpux) <[email protected]>" is marginal trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/perl-Error-0.17029-1-any.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
error: perl-LWP-MediaTypes: signature from "Alexey Pavlov (Alexpux) <[email protected]>" is marginal trust
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] 
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/perl-LWP-MediaTypes-6.04-1-any.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

This is because the packager key has 3 out of currently 4 signatures using a weak algo (SHA1), the 4. is Ray's revoked key, so ignore:

  • The short-term workaround is to pass --allow-weak-key-signatures in pacman-key
  • A mid term to rebuild all packages from Alexey
  • A long term -> More Master Keys #14

In theory, Alexey could re-sign his packagers key with a better algo, and @elieux could add a signature for Alexey's packagers key, which would with mine get us back to three non-weak signatures. Not sure that's worth it.

I've added a regression test in msys2/msys2-tests#56 as well, so we notice when the key trust fails in the future.

Our keyring contains SHA1 signatures, which gnupg 2.4 no longer imports
by default. We can't easily get rid of them now, so allow them for now.

As of today the repos no longer contain packages signed by the weak key. Older versions still do of course..

New option is required to maintain status quo for current keys with
GnuPG v2.4.

See #45.
