Updating Archlinux with "pacman -Syu" I got "pgp signature failed. Gpgme error no data. Multilib.db, core, extra.db failed to update"

So I just tried the reintializing keys and repopulating it with "pacman-key --init; pacman-key --populate Archlinux" it repoulated the keys but I was still getting the same error.
Removing /var/lib/Pacman/sync and retryng with "Pacman -Syu" gave me the same error.

I looked online and found out there's been some changes done to Archlinux template with revoking old maintainer from trusted keyring.

I couldn't find qubesos-vm.gpg to place in /usr/share/Pacman/keyring . And the new keyring-trusted commit is a 0 byte file.. hmm does anyone with an Archlinux have problems updating theirs. Any feedback is appreciated thankyou
