Hello,
Few points on the below keyserver:
1. It is a valid keyserver, here is the link:
https://sks-keyservers.net/overview-of-pools.php
2. HKPS is the first web-based PGP keyserver which was written for thesis
by Marc Horowitz
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_server_(cryptographic)
I am still trying to resolve the issue, I have tried few things mentioned
on sks-keyservers.net site and also on the archlinux.org
I am digging into it, if anybody else has some pointers, Please free to
share.
Wanted to keep the thread updated.
thanks

Hello,
Today we tried to a fresh installation on Virtual Box for archlinux and got the
following error, while we were at the pacstrap step.
Error:
invalid of corrupted package (PGP signature)
We tried the following to update the signatures:
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --refresh
the second command gave us error "A specified local key could not be updated from a
keyserver."
The keyserver it is refering to is "hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net"
This does not seem to be the correct URL, there is no such protocol as hkps
When typed and searched over internet, the above got resolved to
https://sks-keyservers.net, However, when trying to execute pacman-key
--refresh --keyserver https://sks-keyservers.net gives the same error as above.
What could be the possible issue ?
thanks
