I'm trying to install this package ncurses5-compat-libs but I can because of the following problem.
What I did:
1. yay ncurses5-compat-libs
There are 2 types of errors: Either I will check 'Y' and I will add the key, so in this case, I will receive the error message as follow
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Permission denied
==> Error: Problem importing keys
Or I will check as 'n' to don't add the key and I will receive
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
ncurses-6.1.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 702353E0F7E48EDB)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
Error downloading sources: ncurses5-compat-libs
2. sudo gpg --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB
I've tried to add it manually but it didn't work.
3. sudo gpg --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB
Also this one I've tried to add it manually but it didn't work
4. yay -S --noconfirm --needed ncurses5-compat-libs
5. Trying to fallow this forum
and least but not last
6. I've tried to clone the repository by hand by following
git clone http://aur.archlinux.org/ncurses5-compat-libs.git
cd ncurses5-compat-libs
sudo gpg --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB
makepkg -sic
cd ..
sudo rm -r ncurses5-compat-libs
And guess what, I'm back from where I started...

Dose any of you guys have any idea how can I fix this problem? If so let me know because I'm getting crazy already not been able to fix this.
You shouldn't need specifically ncurses5-compat-libs if you have a higher version of ncurses. Because version 6 is backwards compatible with version 5. You need to check whether you have libtinfo.so.6 or not. If you have it then you just need to create a system link. Check if you have libtinfo.so.6, so Run:
ls /lib/ | grep libtinfo
if you can't see libtinfo.so.6, you need to install ncurses (the current latest version of it: 6.2) and then create a system link that I mentioned below. so run:
sudo pacman -S ncurses
sudo pacman -S lib32-ncurses
if you have libtinfo.so.6 then run:
sudo link /lib/libtinfo.so.6 /lib/libtinfo.so.5
