Release signed with unknown key

[barabo]

I did find #15 - which did not resolve my issue.

canderson@60-signing-01:~$ gpg --verify yubihsm-connector-3.0.4-ubuntu2204-amd64.tar.gz.sig

canderson@60-signing-01:~$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

Also, looking at the list of yubico developers, here - the signing key A8CE167914EEE232B9237B5410CAC4962E03C7CC is not listed on that page.

For extra context, here's what debug-level 9 reveals.

Also, I did find this related issue. So I do believe the signature to be trusted, but I'm confused about why I'm unable to receive the keys with gpg --recv-key.

I've tried both keys.openpgp.org and keyserver.ubuntu.com for my key server config, and neither one worked.

Aha! For posterity, I'll post how I resolved this here.

I went to the key download link for Aveen and downloaded the listed key, then imported it as a file.

Also note, @aveenismail - your subkey is expired! ;-)

[barabo]

I should add that the instructions for importing developer keys listed in the documentation are not complete. When a release is signed with a subkey, it's not clear which primary key needs to be imported in order to verify the release. I don't know if the keyserver is supposed to determine whether the key fingerprint is a subkey and also import the primary key, but this wasn't working.

[aveenismail]

@barabo Thank you for the notification and apologies for the confusion. My key isn't actually expired but I seem to have missed uploading it to keys.openpgp.org after renewal. I just uploaded it now so hopefully the expired warning shouldn't be displayed again. Please let me know if the problem persists.
