Description
Yes this is the same issue as #67 because just up and reinstalling everything from the scratch isn't a proper solution and since that one is closed nobody seems to care. Please provide a working solution to update past the key change without having to reinstall everything. Solution in https://www.msys2.org/news/#2020-06-29-new-packagers doesn't work.
