[Slackbuilds-users] GPG key issue

Oh, that's a good point! Thanks.

So I became root and found that indeed root does *not* have the required 
key.

I'm baffled as to how sboupgrade & friends could have worked so well for 
so long (a few years, many upgrades) without root having the correct 
key, and what changed to make it stop working.

Curious, but maybe I don't need to know everything :)

Sounds like what I need to do is run as root and let sboupgrade download 
the correct key. So here we go:

/usr/sbin/sboupgrade signal-desktop ...

... wanted sbocheck run first. That downloaded the key. Then:

... run it again, and it works as advertised.

Installs, runs perfectly. So other than the mystery about the gpg key, 
I'm all set. Thanks for the help!

regards,

Judah
