Background updates check damages signatures on public wi-fi
Hello,
Recently installed Manjaro Gnome, by default Pamac checks for updates in the background. That's a good functionality, however while using Manjaro on public wi-fi that requires authorization it corrupts all repo signatures in the background without the user knowing, because it asks for the .sig files, but gets and saves HTML documents asking to authorize instead.
This is a default behavior and it is very confusing for new users with little experience. You just use your PC, don't explicitly tell it to update and get a bunch of errors preventing you from updating even when you are authorized or inside your private network already. I suggest using temporary locations for newly downloaded signatures until they are validated and not overwriting existing sigs immediately, or Discarding sigs when they are corrupted and trying to download them again. Or maybe you would think of a better solution. But right now the default setup effectively kills its ability to receive updates seemingly by itself.
