Cannot Upgrade Arch - archlinux-keyring error

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Syu

returns

error: archlinux-keyring: key could not be looked up remotely
error: required files could not be loaded
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

Fix

• Update your pacman mirrors via reflector

• Update the archlinux-keyring package

sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

• Reinstall the keyring: If the refresh doesn't work, try reinstalling the archlinux-keyring

  sudo pacman -Syy archlinux-keyring
  

• If none of these steps work, there may be a problem with your system's GPG configuration. You can try resetting your GPG configuration

rm -rf ~/.gnupg
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
