### Problems with GPG keys?

Changes in Fedora's cryptographic policies can mean "old" repository keys are not automatically extended.
Changes in Fedora's cryptographic policies can mean "old" (expired) repository keys are not *automatically* extended.
This can lead to problems *updating* QOwnNotes.

If you have a problem with invalid keys (i.e. GPG errors) such as `certificate is not alive`
**Detail:** If you have a problem with invalid keys (i.e. GPG errors) such as `certificate is not alive`
and/or `key is not alive` due to key expiry, this terminal command should delete the expired key:

```bash
sudo rpm -e $(rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\t%{SUMMARY}\n" gpg-pubkey | grep pbek | cut -f1)
```

You must then newly *import* the current key as described in the beginning of these installation instructions.

Detailed explanation of the command is available on GitHub in a
[topic](https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/3008#issuecomment-2197827084)
related to this exact issue.

Once the expired key has been deleted, you must then newly *import* the **current** key manually as described in the beginning of these installation instructions.
