# FAQ

## AUR

`archinstall` will not offer or bundle AUR helpers or AUR packages due to a current consensus. This is not any individual developers decision. The reasons and discussions for this stance on the topic can be found on our mailing list thread: [(optional) AUR helper in archinstall](https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/VYOULH2GOJLFM2BXOFLWH3D754YXFPSL/).

## Keyring out-of-date
For a description of the problem see https://archinstall.archlinux.page/help/known_issues.html#keyring-is-out-of-date-2213 and discussion in issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/2213.
