Maybe try different keyserver or way of getting that key.
See earlier mention of other keyservers and issues. There was some key renewal problem some time ago. Hans is affiliated with Debian and Calyx, not ubuntu afaik, so maybe ubuntu keyserver was forgotten. Or maybe it’s broken. Or network issues, or…
Can you mention the keyserver
```

```
Others: pgp keyserver at DuckDuckGo
Recommended something @Licaon_Kter
Tried none of them really worked. Need to look into it keyserver has some issues i find fdroid really lacks the verification and security part that is not the case in other stores even in linux stores. In this Field fdroid need to look into. Easy and basic.

I can confirm this works; I already had the key so it says “not changed”.

It works, this is your fault.
Bad DNS server, firewalled bash… whatever
Can anyone lookintO it
As said above we can’t see into your network, so we can’t fix your network issue.
Works for me and several others.
All sorts of restrictions could be in place somewhere along the route, be it China Firewall, Russian censorship, etc.
Did you try via Tor also?
proxychains gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 37D2C98789D8311948394E3E41E7044E1DBA2E89
Everything is working as it should be just i can’t import that key. But in the past i have imported that while fdroid was 1.13.
Does adding -vv to the gpg command helps debugging this?
$ gpg -vv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 37D2C98789D8311948394E3E41E7044E1DBA2E89

Edit- There must me something wrong i just tried on a kvm base vm on my system with ubuntu 22.04 running i got same error really stange can you look int9
Same for Tor? eg. do this in a Tails VM
Okey i will try it today
I don’t have tails iso on hand so i use parrot os as a live os running from usb and key imported and verified successfully. Strange but i could not do it from install os even in kvm. Whats wrong.
So that was via clearnet or Tor?
If clearnet then it means that your base OS has issues with gpg setup
If Tor then it means that your intenet is somehow corrupting the download.
IMHO
I did not use proxy. And parrot os is tor by default or not i don’t know.
Maybe use something like Fedora or Debian instead of a riced out hax0r distro.
