How to update archlinux repositories

To update the archlinux-keyring, you can follow these steps:

First, ensure your package database is up to date:

sudo pacman -Sy

2. Install or Update archlinux-keyring

After updating the keyring, you should refresh it to ensure that all keys are properly initialized:

sudo pacman-key --init

4. Update Your System

Once the keyring is updated, you can proceed to update your system:

sudo pacman -Syu

Summary
