I'm getting this error whenever I run M-x package-refresh-contents or M-x package-list-packages, which is related to Emacs keyring update:
Failed to verify signature archive-contents.sig:
No public key for 066DAFCB81E42C40 created at 2020-12-16T17:05:02-0500 using RSA
Command output:
gpg: Signature made Wed 16 Dec 2020 05:05:02 PM EST
gpg: using RSA key C433554766D3DDC64221BFAA066DAFCB81E42C40
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
I'm trying to follow the steps at http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/gnu-elpa-keyring-update.html to manually update the ELPA keyring. I can't install the package using M-x package-install RET gnu-elpa-keyring-update RET (It says [No match] when I issue that command).
In the same page, listed are three different ways to fix this manually. I tried the first two and both don't work.
$ gpg --homedir ~/.emacs.d/elpa/gnupg --receive-keys 066DAFCB81E42C40
gpg: keyserver receive failed: General error
$ gpg --homedir ~/.emacs.d/elpa/gnupg --quick-set-expire 474F05837FBDEF9B 1y
gpg: "474F05837FBDEF9B" is not a fingerprint
Now, how can I try the third way (temporarily disable signature verification)?
