    I was hoping to test out Arch Linux in a VM over the weekend, but after running in to some problems and getting them fixed, i have run in to one more that I cant, for the life of me, figure out.

    I am trying to install gnome and gnome-extra using pacman, but i get 1 of three errors,

    With no SigLevel - a but load of
    Code:
    error: ... is unknown trust
    fallowed by
    Code:
    error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
    with SigLevel = TrustAll and SigLevel = Never i get

    Code:
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    All under /usr/ and all related to libltdl
    (this is after running it a few times and getting
    failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package) )

    now i have twm working,
    and yes i have run pacman-key --init
    and i have installed the virtualbox addons through pacman and set the modules to load in start

    So does anyone have any idea as to what is my problem??
    I would really like to figure out why this is not working.
